I’ve been cleaning for days, and the house doesn’t look any better than when I started.

Well at least you're not going backwards. It seems like the more we clean, the messier our house seems to be getting this week.

We usually don't host TG, but we are this year, and it is a chore.

Do you know what channel the dog show is on?

The same channel as the parade. That’s how I heard about it. It was mentioned in conjunction with the Macy’s Parade. I’ll be looking for it too. I love dog shows. I try to out guess the judges and then it gives me a half hour’s complaining time because the Golden Retrievers never get the blue ribbon.

With all the millions of beautiful Golden Retrievers in this country, you’d think that an occasional one, or two, would be worthy of Best in Show! It’s just not fair!

I asked my son-in-law (who majored in marketing) why there are so many Goldens in ads, and he says that they teach that in marketing school — a Golden Retriever is an appealing gimick in an ad. Sort of like the pretty girl in short shorts sitting on the car hood in the 1950s, I guess.

Just watch some time, and you will see more Goldens in ads than any other breed.
