[Ag-eq] Westminster Dog Show

[dogwood farm]

Matt was real interested in the agility compotition and I think that
every other dog that went up, he'd say that was the dog he wanted.
Just listening to him had me doubled over laughing.  He was like a kid
in a candy shop!  He has widdled his dog list from 28 to 6.  I'll let
you know what his two final dogs to choose from will be.  He is
looking for something between a spaniel or a terrier, but the terriers
don't do well with smaller animals.  So, we'll see what comes out in
the wash.
