Rock rocks!

So, you know I love the doggies. I have a big weak spot for doggies. I'm a big fan of dog shows, especially Westminster Kennel Club's show , which was on last night and concludes tonight. I have so many favorite breeds, I love the bigs dogs and the funny little dogs. To name just a few of my favs- all the Mastiffs, St. Bernards, Newfoundlands (which we used to have 20 years ago) Rottweilers, Australian Shepard & Cattle dogs, Ridgebacks, Staffordshire Terriors, Frenchies, and of course the English Bulldog! Last night 'Ch. Cherokee Legend Rock' was representing the bulldogs, and he was awesome! Rock was shown by Cody Sickle, and he also bred and owned Boris' dad Robert, who was quite the show dog in his day. We don't know Mr. Sickle, but I always watch for his dogs in the shows. He's been breeding and showing bulldogs for 40 years. Boris' dad Robert won the Best Bulldog at Westminster 4 years in a row back in the 1990s. But, Boris never new his Daddy, who, like a Rock Star, had countless scattered childen with many different females in many different towns. Such is the life of a stud. Boris' mom had a show career too, and she won an award for obedience (but Boris didn't inherit that trait)

Of course, I want to cry and run out and adopt several shelter dogs everytime I see that Pedigree commercial, narrated by David Duchovny. I had a crush on him when he was Agent Mulder, so his voice always grabs my attention. You know the commercial? Sad eyed doggies in kennel cages, wishing that they had a loving home to go to. They show it endlessly during the dog show, so I had to go to the website and make a donation to help Pedigrees Adoption Drive - http://www.pedigree.com/dogadoption/?CSID=607

Cody wasn't the breeder on Robert, Breeder Judge: Robert Keller from Drexel Hill Pa, was the breeder of Cherokee Dakota Robert.
