<p>As many of you know, my life’s aspiration is to one day have a beagle of my very own. His name will be Duo in honor of the great Uno. For those of you who admire Uno as much as I do, here is the latest on his doings. Enjoy!!!</p>

<p>[A</a> year in the life of Westminster Best in Show winner Uno the beagle](<a href=“http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2009/02/09/2009-02-09_a_year_in_the_life_of_westminster_best_i-2.html]A”>http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2009/02/09/2009-02-09_a_year_in_the_life_of_westminster_best_i-2.html)</p>

<p>It is a good life aspiration.</p>

<p>The terriers were amazing last night! I picked the top three, but I would have gone with the Norwich for #1.</p>

<p>My goal is breeding the elusive 14 inch beagle.</p>

<p>We used to have 2 Beagles. They really kept us on our toes with their inquisitiveness for sure, but they were the BEST dogs! Loved this part in the article about the satin sheets:</p>

<p>After this year’s Westminster ends on Tuesday, Uno will return to the ranch outside Austin, where his playmates include another champion beagle, Grace.</p>

<p>He may not meet as many people, but on the positive side, his love life should pick up.</p>

<p>While there’s considerable breeding demand for a Westminster winner, Dowell says she put that on hold for his championship year.</p>

<p>Now that it’s over, Uno may want to break out the candles and satin sheets. He’s even had his introduction line written for him.</p>

<p>just can’t stand their baying!!!</p>

<p>fourteen inch Beagle, lol. Some dog fancy humor.</p>

<p>My cat was glued to the TV screen watching the terriers! I’ve never seen her paying so much attention to animals on TV.</p>

8

<p>Another poodle! Ugh! How can they ALL be closest to the breed standard? The bulldog wuz robbed!</p>

<p>The bulldog was adorable.</p>

<p>I saw Uno on the tv yesterday and thought of you, zoosermom.</p>

<p>Alas, since I don’t have cable, I have to go to the Westminster site to see the show.</p>

<p>

Really? Awww. Thanks!</p>

<p>You’re all so kind to humor me this way.</p>

12

<p>Rats, Zoosermom - I’ve actually been to the University of New Orleans and had some observations for you.</p>

13

<p>zoosermom, curious why you can’t get one. They sure are cute. Hope you get your wish. No beagle winner this year though.</p>

<p>I love both the announcer and the TV commentator…same guys as long as I can remember. Especially when announcer introduces—drumroll— the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen Number Nine. </p>

<p>As the current owner of an adorable mutt (inherited from D…her college dog) I salute Pedigree for their adopt a dog efforts. This is my first non-purebred. All future dogs for me will be rescue dogs.</p>

14

<p>2331clk, we can’t get Duo yet because we have the most ferocious Jack Russell in the history of the world and he would eat Duo alive. Our current dog and D2 are madly in love and share the same personality.</p>

<p>I’ve only watched the Shelties!</p>

<p>I got an email from my dog’s breeder yesterday morning to tell me that one of her dogs – out of my agility girl’s littermate, and half brother to my other Sheltie – was being shown at Westminister. I am thrilled to report that our doggy relative won an Award of Merit – being shown by an 11 year old boy!</p>
