It’s the time for Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and Sadie, a Scottie won the best in show.

We love going to dog shows whenever we can. It is amazing to see dogs groomed and paraded for everyone to see. Most are oblivious to the cameras aimed at them and people ogling at how well they look. But there is always one that stands out, which turns out to be the best among the best.

Breeding dogs is not cheap.

When there are a lot of people who can’t even afford to purchase their basic needs like food, nor be able to get personal needs (things for hygiene like bath necessities, get adult acne treatment or weather-appropriate clothes), sometimes it looks “vulgar” offensive to some when these pets are given excessive pampering. Yes,this is big business after all.

We love dogs, in fact we have had several dogs but we chose a breed that will not drill a hole in the budget.

• Dogs bring out the good in people.
• Dogs help people relax.
• Dogs love unconditionally.
• Dogs are wonderful companions.
• Dogs give you a sense of protection.

These are just some of the benefits of having a dog. So there, maybe it is never always about the tag price that goes with taking care of these faithful companions but also the joy one feels in return.

We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults.  Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment.  ~George Eliot
