Overheard yesterday at the Westminster Dog Show

"It's just nuts. I played Division 1 college sports, and I've never seen a spectacle like this."

Spectator to breeder: "If we were neighbors, would you let your dog play with my dog?" Breeder: "If my dog was showing, no."

"I wish my hairdresser spent half the time on me that these dogs get."

"He's been drinking so much water. I just pray he pees soon."

Vendor: "Get your Puppy Bible! Get your Beagle Bugle!"

"Hold still, girl. We've just got the grease pencil and hairspray left to do."

"Will that hold his cowlicks down?"
