S-S-S Saturday Night...

And the chicken soup is flying!

I'm sure I've shown you this, but all you doggies you should really get your humans to start cooking for you if they don't already. My mama cannot cook ANYTHING (dad was the good cook in our family) but somehow, she makes a mean chicken soup for me. EVERY NIGHT. Chicken, rice, and veggies. Keeps my digestive system humming and my poop just perfect.

Oh what to do, what to do. All of the daily walkies are already accomplished, and while I'm always up for more adventure, mama probably isn't. While she's cleaning up, I guess I'll just have a little rest here on the bed...

What is that, mama? There's a DOG SHOW on TV tonight... COUNT ME IN! Gotta cheer on my fellow Airedale and all of the terriers... oh, it's on NOW - FANTASTIC!

And of course the Terrier Group will be coming up second to last. In a three-hour dog show. Wake me when the Terrier group is announced, ok mama?

Ooo... THE AIREDALE - Lucas is a very fine looking boy, isn't he?

Check out that run, head high, tail just so... you just KNOW he sees someone in the audience that he wants to pounce on.

You are a fine specimen of the King of Terriers my friend, and I am pleased that you took one for the team with all of that grooming. Looking REALLY good...

Other dogs just run about, but Airedales THINK. I wonder what is going through Lucas' fuzzy head right about now:

And amazingly for me - Lucas took third in the Terrier group!!! I've never watched a dog show where the Dale was even pulled out for a second look - NICE WORK LUCAS!!!

Now I can sleep. Party animals that we are.

Love,

Airedales: We Wuz Robbed!!!

OHMYDOG, DID YOU SEE THAT???

The GORGEOUS Airedale Terrier got to do his run around the ring at Westminster but he couldn't compete! Apparently there was a "conflict of interest" with the judge and the Airedale handler.

I personally think that "conflict of interest" must mean "judge thinks Airedale is going to win no matter what because of the incredible cuteness of said Terrier so it's not fair to the other dogs for this fantastic specimen to compete because no other dog has ANY CHANCE of winning"... or something to that effect.

Yes, I feel (slightly) better now.

While all of the fuss was going on in the living room (that is, mama was fussing about the Airedale not competing), I was doing this:

Zzzzzzz...

Love,

Work of Aire-t

A true artist cannot control his artistic impulses.

Yes, I re-dug my hole. There is just something about it, the placement, the depth, the communing with nature...

And once again, dad filled it in.

Dad, I'm really worried about you. I thought you shared my artistic impulses. I thought you UNDERSTOOD...

But alas, no.

My talents are not limited to yard deconstruction - I also work in other mediums. Take vinyl balls for example...

To me, they are far more mouth-full-ly pleasing when deflated.

I gaze once again on the Mairesterpiece - vowing that it shall one day (yep, most likely soon) rise again!

No need for me to only excel in one area, eh?

Notice the recurring theme in my current work...

Yes, it must return. In fact, I am plotting my next dig as we speak. Go ahead dad, go inside, I'll be g-o-o-d...

See? I'm even POSING with your version.

Hehehe...

Inside - what is this? A DOG SHOW on Animal Planet!!! Gotta watch the Terrier group!

What a fine looking Airedale this is - truly an excellent specimen. Deserves to WIN!

Yeah, I could do that - IF I WANTED TO... but lets face it, waaaaaaay too much time spent on the grooming table for me. I'm really enjoying my winter fuzzy bear look, so I guess the show scene is out for me.

And up just after the Dale is the Kerry Blue Terrier! Looking ALMOST as good as my pals Persephone and Buster!

But not quite...

Love,

Bogart
