The Word Westminster

When you hear the word Westminster - do you think of the Abbey in England? Such a beautiful place, I bought several post cards of it when I toured it on vacation years ago. When I hear the word Westminster, I think of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show...I must say this is my favorite TV show. I want numerous dogs by the end of the 1st night it airs.

Last year I watched it with dad while he was in the hospital. The 1st night I wanted another Rottie, a Fox Terrier, an Affenpinscher, a Giant Schnauzer, a Great Pyrenees, a German Pinscher, a Scottish Terrier, a Manchester Terrier, and another Yorkie. Obviously I cannot give into my desire to own so many dogs.

I was looking at Bulldogs the other night, one looked just like the Georgia mascott, the handler mentioned they detest exercise...this could be a great dog for me since I no longer head out to exercise each morning, though I am trying to get back into the routine. I always said if I had a Bulldog I would name him Onslow after Hyacinth Bucket's brother in law on Keeping Up Appearances.

Have a great evening...I know I will, parked in front of the Tube watching dogs. (It airs at 7p central on USA, the 2nd portion airs on CNBC tonight, if I remember correctly.)

Oh what a great idea! I LOVE dogs. I am the dog sitter of the neighborhood, family, hcurch etc...I too often think I would love to have...and a whole list of breeds follow. Just the other day I said I would like it have a bull dog after that cute commercial with the dogs holding up signs to read...thanks for the idea fo tonight's TV viewing! (:

Good idea! Dogs are great. Actually, I like all animals.

The Westminster Catechism:

Q. 1. What is the chief end of man?

A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever.


Be blessed today,

I think of the Abbey... and my husband is a Vet!? Oops! I shouldn't admit I'm afraid of dogs. Maybe I'd be okay watching them on t.v.
