The benching area at The National Dog Show Presented by Purina is my favorite part of the event. Visitors have an opportunity to meet the dogs up close and personal, learn about the breeds, talk with the owners/handlers, and just plain old have a great time in the company of the most beautiful dogs in the world! These are 3 of my favorite shots from ‘behind the scenes’ at the show last Saturday. Be sure to turn in to NBC at noon on Thanksgiving (all time zones) and watch The National Dog Show with hosts David Frei and John O’Hurley. I would tell you who wins Best in Show, but I’m sworn to secrecy! You’ll have to tune in to find out! 🙂

Gabriel was just a little kitten living in Virginia last year at this time. I don’t know his exact circumstances, but I’m sure life was difficult for him and his brothers and sisters. They were given up for adoption in November and Gabriel found his way to Siamese Cat Rescue Center and eventually to his forever home with us. Now he loves to sit by the window and watch the falling leaves. As soon as dawn breaks, he runs to the window and his little head moves from side to side as he watches leaves float from the big oak trees in the yard. He paws at the glass in an attempt to catch them. I wonder if he chased leaves when he was living outside on those cold late Fall days last year in Virginia? Now he is content to watch from his safe spot indoors on the window sill or on one of our cat perches. His brother and sister often join him. Above is one of his favorite spots in the big dining room window. Below is a photo of him sitting by the French doors and showing off his beautiful blue eyes. No, there was no Photoshop involved in enhancing the color. His eyes are really that blue!

This election has gone to the dogs … literally!!! At the National Dog Show Charity Walk last month, the dogs were invited to vote for their favorite candidate – Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. A dog bakery provided red and blue cakes and the dogs were let loose to see which was their favorite. Their votes were cast by which cake they chose to eat! Who do you think won the election as chosen by these lovable dogs, Hillary or Donald?

So the plan this year was to dress the Meezers (Sia-meezers) in a caterpillar costume to match one of their favorite toys. How cute would that be, I thought?! They will love it, I thought! The photos will be adorable, I thought! Somehow they weren’t feeling the love for the caterpillar costume as much as I was! Just look at the stink eye and attitude I’m getting from Gabriel on the left! This is his very first Halloween and so the whole costume thing was a new adventure for him. He obviously isn’t a fan! Brewster and Savannah wouldn’t even look at me! Oh well….they still look pretty darn cute and we gave it the old college try anyhow! Wishing everyone a happy Halloween!
