Feb. 10th, 2025 07:55 pmThe Westminster Kennel Club dog show is on tonight and tomorrow night. Earlier today I was telling Goose I didn't even really feel like watching it, because I didn't feel like being tied to the TV for 3.5 hours, but then as soon as it started, here I am, glued to the TV. I'm still bummed they moved it back to February though. It always ends up being the same week, if not same days, as Valentine's Day and Goose's birthday. It's easier to enjoy when there's not as much going on. I hope the selection of dogs for Best in Show is better this year. Last year it was all very expected, boring dogs in the running. I don't even remember who ended up winning, just that it was disappointing.
I feel like I'm one of the only people I know who watches Westminster so attentively, even though I know a lot of people who like dogs. I guess Westminster is kind of like the Oscars or Super Bowl to me. It's so weird to me when people don't know dog breeds because I've always been interested in all the different breeds. Back before we had a family dog and I was trying to convince my parents to get one, I would take out the like, dog encyclopedia from the library and write down lists of all the breeds I liked and wanted. Dogs are just so great, and there's so many cute dogs out there.
Sometimes I really miss pet sitting/dog walking and getting paid to hang out with dogs. It's just not profitable enough here, where you can't walk a bunch of them at once, like in the city. Sometimes I think about trying to get a job more related to dogs in some way, but I need to try to stay with a job that can be worked remotely for now, due to our future plans. Maybe some day.
