Subby, you've never been to dog shows, right?.

/My dog got disqualified in the local dog show because he was slightly fat.

In other news, Subby should probably try getting out of the basement once and a while.

Slightly fat or just big-boned?

Then again, dinosaurs were big-boned.

Oh, it looked like a dog was banned from a humping contest for winning three years in a row. That would be one person's grateful leg.

 
Solty Dog 2008-07-27 12:26:11 PM  
Can't they just give participation awards to all the dogs? That way no dog will feel left out.

As far as I'm concerned, kelpies make you drown into lakes and rivers.

And they look like horses.

For fatness. But meh, I take care of my dog and yes, I'm giving him a little less food because the vet suggested it.

Brockway: FTFA:
Shirley Foster, of the festival committee, said the decision to retire Riley was "all about keeping the event fresh".

How about letting Riley compete, and throughout the competition, periodically spray the crowd with machine gun fine? That'd be fresh.

The reason they didn't let him compete is the same reason kids can't have candy in class unless they brought enough for everyone, and why schools have "Student of the Month" rotate on an alphabetical basis rather than on any kind of merit...in short, there aren't enough winners in the world to run everything, and so, consequently some things are run by losers. And losers are always trying to hamstring winners so that they will feel better about themselves.


You're on to something here. What we've got is a society where the exceptional and the outstanding are reviled -- where success is hated and we try to cut them all down to the level of the lowest common denominator. It's all about making everyone equal -- equally crappy, that is.

With kids, it's because schools and parents are afraid to hurt the little ones' self-esteem (as if the kids don't understand what's going on). With dogs, it's their owners you're dealing with.

Never read about the Celebrated Jumping Dog of Calaveras County, eh?

HUURRR, but it's not fair that someone who worked harder gets treated better! DURR not fair! Not fair!

In other words, I agree.

 
Fuzzyshrimp 2008-07-27 03:16:23 PM  
I thought in the Government program "No Dog Left Behind" that none of the dogs could fail. Riley wuz robbed.

 
LivinDead_Girl 2008-07-27 03:29:17 PM  
I don't see what the problem is, really. If I am not mistaken the organizers told her her dog can still partake in the competition, she just won't get an award. If all she is in it for is for allowing her dog to do what the dog loves, who cares if it gets an award?

There's a hunting dog competition around where I live that I take my beast out to. She sucks at it and hardly ever completes the events I put her in. Even though she's never won, everyone still manages to have a great time.

Um, 'what he loves'? I'm pretty sure he can jump anywhere tard. He's doing what you love. And earning you prizes.

/your sense of entitlement is showing

I thought this was Dock Dog jumping... distance not height.
