Anyone going to the Westminster dog show? I went last night a few pics added

On a spur of the moment thought, I bought a ticket to go see the show tomorrow night, I was just wondering if anyone else was going and if they were doing any of the events during the day or just the show at night. Anyone here involved/showing thier dog?

Every year I watch it on TV and wish I was able to go, and this year I'm finally going I'm so excited!

So I went last night and I have to say, its amazing how beautiful these dogs are. My view from the seat was closer than it looks in the pics. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to bring in a camera so I just took a few shots with my iphone, they didn't come out so great though. I would definitly go again next year, and I hope next year to be able to spend the day in the city so I can attend the breed judging and then the show.

I went too!!!! It was so much fun. I loved seeing the dogs in the back area. I got to pet a Great Dane... its as big as a horse in person!!! If you are a dog lover, this is really a great time. I plan to go back next year!

We were there since noon,and saw the breed judging, and got to cheer on my favorite breed, the English Springer Spaniels. That was really cool to see that aspect of the judging.

And what was with those protester people who came out during Best in Show? Did that get shown on tv?
