At long last, I’ve made my peace with the fact that I’m a dog person. I grew up with lots of cats, and I do genuinely love kitties, but I’ve turned out to be more of a dog person. So, true story: I was going to cover the Best In Show winner of Westminster yesterday, but I glanced at Westminster’s Instagram page and I literally lost 30 minutes out of my day because I was just looking at the PUPPIES. Seriously, do not click the link to Westminster’s Instagram unless you want to lose part of your day. And you really, really do not want to follow that up by looking at the American Kennel Club’s IG.
Anyway, the Best In Show winner was surprisingly enough NOT a small dog. C.J. the German Shorthaired Pointer won! I had an English Setter for years and CJ reminds me a lot of my old dog. Is CJ the cutest, most cuddly dog ever? Not really, but he looks like a sweetheart. I bet he’s a lot like my English Setter – protective, slightly paranoid, prone to wanderlust and in need of a good couch. Also: his spotted paws!!!! OMG. I kind of want to squeeze them.
Here’s C.J. on Good Morning America yesterday. You’d think Michael Strahan had never interacted with a dog before.
God, please, stop me. I can’t help but post dog Instagrams!!!
