i loved Best In Show.... BUT.

im gonna go ahead and say this is not natural
then again, what involving domesticated animals is? but still.
here are a few gems from backstage at the Westminster dog show
photos taken from the NYT
dripping in ridiculous...

'KJ' a yorkie from dallas.
in curlers.

'Susan', a mini schnauzer.
getting her eyebrows...topiaried?

'Vikki' the toy poodle.
no. this thing cannot be for real.
that tail actually reminds me of a certain friends highly honkable puffball hat...
though im pretty sure that man would kill me if i honked his poodle's puff.

The Pennsylvania hotel's specially set up doggie area in the lobby.
because apparently these dogs dont do the doo outside.
the making of a new yorker cartoon if I ever saw one.

'Mandu' a saluki... speaking for all her four legged friends?
that's it! i cant take the plumping and the pruning no more!
back it up lady!
this bitch is coming off the leash!
