March 24. And according to the crazy calendar, it is International Day for Achievers. Which coincides with something that arrived in the mail this week. A certificate. For an achievement. It seems Frodo received something called the Subaru Top Show Dog award because he placed 3rd in Canada in 2016 for Polish Lowland Sheepdogs in conformation. Go figure. I have to confess, I don't think there are many people in Canada SHOWING Polish Lowland Sheepdogs in the beauty pageants. Not that I'm trying to downgrade his achievement...well - maybe I AM. Mind you, he did compete and he did get the certificate - so I shouldn't poo poo it or take away his thunder. I thought the award INCLUDED a Subaru. But apparently you have to accomplish more than a ranking of 3rd place Polish Lowland Sheepdog to win the BIG prize. And even THEN, I don't think that even the TOP DOG all breeds wins a car. Heck, there's not even a cash prize for winning Westminster. The winner gets a polished pewter bowl. For Crufts, the largest dog show in the world, you win a "replica" of the solid silver trophy and £100. Big deal. From MY point of view 100lbs of dog food would be better.
Anyway, all this dog competition stuff isn't REALLY about the PRIZE. It's about the time we get to spend with you. So congrats to Mr. Show Dog for his achievement. Still - a Subaru would have been nice....
Happy Friday!!!!
