wag your tail, it's wednesday


she's a city dog
and her name is Pearl
and when i visit
she's grandma's girl

she likes to play
and i scratch her tummy
and her crazy smile
is oh so funny

when we go out
people stop to see her
'cuz she's oh so stylish
they just have to meet her

and i just smile
as they ooh and ah
'cuz i'm her loving
grand-mama

I had such a great time visiting my daughter (and grand-dog) in NYC. I was surprised that so many people choose to have canine companions in the "Big Apple". They add a softness and whimsy that is endearing. Laura and I attended the big dog show - Westminster! It was such fun to see all the different breeds of dogs and their people. I met a few breeds I hadn't seen before. The evenings Group and Best In Show events were quite exciting. We were happy to return to Laura's apartment to see Pearl each night. As the woman behind us (who had show dogs as well as rescue dogs) said, "They're all champions!"
