Congratulations to Carlee, a beautiful German Shorthaired Pointer that won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club yesterday. My mom called to tell me today, and she was so excited because my parents have a German Shorthaired Pointer as well.

My parents’ dog has more brown splotches than Carlee and is much less well-behaved.

Actually, my parents’ dog is nuts. If anyone’s thinking of getting a GSP after watching the dog show, think twice. They look pretty, but they’re bundles of hyperkinetic energy.
