Westminster Dog Show

The Ottawa Citizen has a great photo gallery from the Westminster dog show, which of course is a humongous deal for a teeny tiny fraction of dog owners, and for the rest of us just provides sheer amusement.

I subscribe to the “dogs are incredible, loyal, often hilarious companions, but they are not my life” group, like most folks I think, so the shots of these pampered pooches casting long-suffering looks balefully into the camera are pretty funny.

The caped Corgi shown here in particular seems to be saying “Oh, keep laughing.  I will keell you slowly and taste your hot blood on my tongue… aaas soon as I am done perching here like an eediot.  What is this?  A bird house?  What the hell are these things I’m standing on?  Corgi stilts?  Why am I wearing a purple cape?  Bah, I shall keel you all for this.  Tremble before me….Tremble!”

Almost every picture there is caption-worthy, I had a hard time deciding which one to make fun of….  This guy’s super-intense gaze spoke to me.
