  Divorce in the Doghouse
There have been some changes in the doghouse in recent months. My husband and I are splitting up, so life has been rather difficult. Having Trogdor and Sasha around has helped ease some tension and brought a little joy into our days.

  Troggie and Me Time
I got out of work a little early yesterday, and when I got home, the dogs, my husband and our neighbor were hanging out in front of our condo enjoying the warm weather. This is a typical afternoon routine at our home; I’m just not usually out of work early enough to enjoy it.

  Do Dogs Like Yoga?
Providing my dogs with ample exercise is an important part of their lives. Sasha probably enjoys going for a walk more than anything else, short of getting belly rubs. Exercise is important for us humans, too, so I try to squeeze in as much as I can. One of my favorite activities is doing yoga.

  Dog Hair as a Fashion Statement
When you have a white dog and also have a wardrobe consisting of mostly black clothing like me, you will undeniably have one recurring problem: dog hair on all of your clothes! Shedding is a big nuisance in our home; not the act itself but where all that hair ends up. And it ends up everywhere!

  Home Sweet Home
It’s good to be back home now. Being in New York for five days was fun, but it became difficult being away from all the comforts of home -- including my dogs. When I got home from the airport yesterday, Sasha ran up and gave me lots of wet doggie kisses.

  Westminster Tuesday Update
Today ended up taking a different turn than I had expected. I did not make it to the benching area. Instead I was assisting a co-worker with computer problems. As I headed over to his hotel to help out, I noticed that it had been snowing.

  Tuesday Morning Update
It’s day two of Westminster and everyone is talking about Uno, the Beagle who won the Hound Group last night. He’s had an impressive year and he showed well last night. I thought it was hilarious how he was making so much racket in the Group ring.

  Westminster Monday Night
I’m sitting in the press box for tonight’s Group showing. This means I have a clear view of the ring, right from the floor. As I sit and watch the groups, I can see the handlers keeping their dogs occupied. Some of them are feeding the dogs treats; some of them are tossing toys for their dogs.

  Seen and Heard in the Benching Area
Even show dogs beg! I spotted a Belgian Malinois who was starting intently at his owner’s sandwich. I asked to pet him and his handler told me it was OK, as soon as I got my hand near, he turned to check me out.

  Westminster Day 1 Morning Update
The dog show madness has finally begun! We’re about halfway through the day program here at Westminster, and I’ve been walking the Garden looking for the hot story. So far, I haven’t found it, but I also did have some technical difficulties this morning.
