Doggies

Tuesday. Not the best day, but it was okay.

I got up and got ready for my day. I spent some time with my new Sing-a-ma-jig before school.

And tried to swallow my top lip.

My tummy hasn't been feeling quite right today. It's hurting me a little. That has made my day a little grumpy. I tried not to let it bother me too much at Grandmom and Granddad's this afternoon. It was Mom's long day at big work, so I had to wait a long time for her. She finally came to get me and then we came home.

When we got home, after my bath, I got to watch some of something called the "dog show". Mom said she loves the dog show. I don't know why she was so excited. The dogs weren't singing or dancing or anything. They were just walking around on a big green carpet. She let me watch for a minute because Sadie's "group" was on. Apparently, the dogs are divided into different groups and they walk around the green carpet and then one of the dogs wins the "group". In Sadie's group, there was a dog called a Boykin Spaniel. Mom said that it was the first time the Boykin Spaniel was in the dog show. She said that Boykin Spaniels are the state dog of South Carolina. I thought it was cute. I also learned that there are three kinds of Cocker Spaniels. Sadie is a Cocker Spaniel. There are black ones, ones called parti-colored that are two different colors (but they're like black and white or tan and white, not like pink and green or anything), and there are some called ASCOB. That's what Sadie is. She's ASCOB. It means "any solid color other than black". I asked Sadie if she knew she was ASCOB. She just looked at me. Oh well. I felt smart.

The black Cocker Spaniel won the "group". I liked that. It was a pretty dog. :)

At the end of the dog show, all of the group winners go on the green carpet to see who is the "Best in Show". The black Cocker did not win that. Some ginormous unattractive dog called a Scottish Deerhound did. I didn't like that.

Now you know all about the dog show. Mom says it won't be on again until next year. Maybe next year, little Cocker Spaniels....
