Things I Realized At Westminster

February 19, 2015

There are a couple of things I realized at Westminster this week that I’d like to share. And no, no photos today. I’m exhausted. New York City ROCKS, but it’s also tiring. And energizing. Okay, so maybe one photo. Or two. But that’s it.

A St. Bernard at Westminster
This St. Bernard about KILLED me! LOOK HOW CUTE! Totally petable. And I did. Pet her. I realized at Westminster that the dogs are all GORGEOUS. But is this a St. Bernard? The coat seems too short. Someone weigh in!

Are we good? So here’s what I realized at Westminster:

  • The  show dogs are still just dogs. Y’all, I think this was the biggest shock for me, and it shouldn’t have been. I’ve met dogs at agility trials and in people’s homes and at expos. They’re all just dogs. But this is WESTMINSTER! They’re the best dogs, right? They’re still just dogs. In the hotel, being groomed, wherever, I was allowed to walk up and pet these gorgeous creatures. It was AMAZING. Dogs don’t get swelled heads the way people do.
Golden Retriever at Westminster
This handsome Golden Retriever is the sweetest thing ever. Its handler let me pet and love on it while she worked, talking the whole time about the breed. What a great experience! Westminster rocks.
  • The handlers and groomers and owners are dog people, just like you and I. With our quirks and personality differences, underneath it all, we’re still dog people. And so are they. They love to talk about their dogs, about the breeds. They love having their dogs gushed over and adored. It wasn’t awkward at all.
Beautiful Westminster dog
Who can tell me what breed this beauty is? No, seriously. My brain is so scrambled after a week of purebred dog overload. This was taken the morning I left, in the Hotel Pennsylvania lobby. Is it a Wolfhound? Someone tell me!

I was total fan girl this week. A HUGE thank you to Jones Natural Chews for sending me to the biggest event in a dog lover’s life! If you ever have the opportunity to go, do it. And I’ll tell you a little secret –

Westminster Border Terrier
This Border Terrier’s face kills me. How cute is this?!? I told my Hunny that the Border Terrier is Chewy’s next companion dog. SO. CUTE.

Westminster isn’t difficult to get into. We booked flight, hotel and tickets to the Piers and Madison Square Garden just two weeks before the event. The woman I sat next to on Tuesday night got her tickets the week before. Start saving now. Get your tickets. Use Hotwire or Expedia to book travel and hotel. Stay at the Hotel Pennsylvania. It’s not much as a hotel room goes, but it’s across the street and that’s where all the dogs stay.

So, will I see you there next year? If you decide to go, let me know! The more the merrier! And until then, give your dog a Jones Natural Chew. It’ll make ’em smile. Naturally.

Until I write again …
