And the Winner is....!!!

Stump!
A ten year old Sussex Spaniel! Stump became the oldest Best in Show winner ever at the 133rd Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show! Never before had a Sussex spaniel won the nation's top pooch show.
My personal fave, who gets an award of merit in my opinion, is Lincoln! The Brussels Griffon! Isn't he CUTE? Looks like a freakin Ewok (from Star Wars!)
This is an Ewok...:)

Welcome to the Garden!

While filming at the Westminster Dog Show today (the event was being held at Madison Square Garden) I was relieved of my "guarding the gear" post to go get a bottle of water, and when I got over there, the guy in front of me in line said "do you sell any other kind of water than this?" and the cashier said "no." The guy walked away, and I said to the cashier, "one bottle of water, please," and he said, "that will be $4.75," and I said, "$4.75 for a bottle of water??! You've got to be kidding me!" to which he replied, "Welcome to the Garden!" Needless to say, I asked for a receipt... (work expense). I found the name of the water brand funny, never heard of "Jana" water before... (and the fact that it's named after my sister is pretty fun too).

Research confirms: Jana is European water bottled at the source, at an underground depth of 2500 feet in the picturesque Croatian village of, you guessed it, Saint Jana. Yes, Jana water comes from an Artesian well close to the Adriatic Sea. Very pure. Very tasty. Nothing but the best for patrons of Madison Square Garden. Nothing but the best.

Westminster for the Day!

Took this pic on my camera phone... my crew was filming Rescue Ink (the animal welfare guys from the series I work on) at the Westminster Dog Show today. They needed some extra help, so I went along too, and snapped this photo of the Mastiff breed being judged. Those dogs are huge! And smelly! I hung out with them in the hallway for about an hour... oh, and did I mention slobbery? All their handlers had towels and kept wiping their jowls!

He's Not as Smart as He Thinks

A British researcher reports that the male ego is often larger than his actual IQ. But you might be surprised by what women think of men's intellect.


This is a very interesting article. Check it out by clicking here.

Kendall Tenney's 8th Annual 5K "Run For a Wish"!

We survived the 5K! It was a blast, here are the highlights...
Here we are getting ready for the race!
Stella was one of the hundreds of dogs at the event! Kendall was in charge! Here he is on the stage making an anouncement. There were a TON of people there, it was so fun!Here's a bunch from our group, Mom, Dad, Savannah, Shelby, Angie, Ashley, Dave, Colton, Lindsay, Talia and Buster.Here is Talia with Buster, he was wearing his numbered shirt, too!Along with the human attendees, we ran into a Wookie. Here is Savvy, Grandpa and Chewbacca.I said to Colton, "oh my gosh, do you want to go get your picture taken with a Wookie?" And Colton said, "no, that's okay." And I was like... "um, well I want my picture taken with a Wookie!" and I dragged him along... :)
Here are two of my sisters and Mom! And Buster!Here's cute little Maverick... he slept the whole morning away! Even on the one mile walk!Savvy spent the whole morning on Grandpa's shoulders.
Me and Shelby right before the run! I shocked myself by crossing the finish line around the 34 minute mark! When I actually checked my time from the chip on my shoe (that measured when I crossed the start line to when I crossed the finish line) it said I completed the run in 32:40!
Here is Jackson crossing the finish line! He was so speedy!Shelby and Talia crossing the finish line!
Yeah, way to go, girls!Kendall and Colton also ran!And don't worry about it, Dad walked almost 2 miles with Savvy on his shoulders... talk about tough! Jackson, Angie, Lindsay, Talia and Buster sitting at the finish line! They all did a great job running! (except Buster, he just watched!)There were several celebrities in attendance, including Sponge Bob Square Pants. The entire event was super fun! Thanks to Kendall for putting it on! We all had a blast! :)
