 Westminster Dog Show 2023

Thousands of dogs have descended upon New York City for what may be the most eventful week of their lives – or, at least, their humans’ lives. The dogs, among the most beautiful and well-behaved in the country, have trained for this for months or years.

They’ve come to compete in the canine equivalent of the Olympics or the Oscars. It’s the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

Breed judging is streaming live on the Westminster Kennel Club’s website Monday and Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET. The channel FS2 will broadcast highlights from breed judging throughout the day, though group judging – and the coveted best-in-show crowning – can be seen only on FS1 from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

Throwback Thursday ...

Another quick Dad story.

If you're a Dad fan, you might remember he was a driver in the movie studios, teamster and all that. You know how guys like to joke and play tricks, right? Dad told the story of a driver named Ben, who had

been one of the first to buy a VW bug in 1954.

Everyday Ben bragged about his new VW's amazing mileage. The guys decided to take turns going to Ben's house late at night and adding gasoline to his VW's tank. Of course his mileage increased and he bragged even more. I'm not sure how long they let it go on but they all enjoyed it. Dad bought a VW bug in 1956, but that's another story.
