Dogs

While I'm watching the videos online, I'll be daydreaming of Sadie--last year's winner and stunning black Scottish Terrier--and the cookies from Beautiful Sweets Organic Bakery, baked in her honor. (By the way, these are PEOPLE cookies!)
Who will win the 2011 Westminster? Your guess is as good as mine, but it will be fun to watch these spectacular dogs--the genesis of all of our mixed-breed pets--and play the guessing game. Half the fun of watching is simply to cheer on your favorites and see how they fare.
Meanwhile, I'd like to play Santa and give away some sweets. If you know me at all, you know that I'm all about natural. So you've probably guessed why I like Beautiful Sweets. It's not just because they are beautifully-decorated, or because they are featured on the food Network, it's also because they are made with toxin-free, organic ingredients. Beautiful Sweets is a USDA certified organic bakery, so go ahead--indulge! Here's a peek behind the curtain at Beautiful Sweets. I think you'll like what you see:
Now that you're drooling, would you like to try to win a box of these adorable "Sadies"? Of course you would! You know the drill. Enter with comments here on this post, or comments about this post at our Facebook page. Be sure to "Like" our Facebook page while you're there, so you'll be able to keep up with our updates more easily. The winner will be announced on Monday, February 21. Ironically, that's Presidents' Day. Didn't the Bush's have Scotties? How funny. Good luck to you in the drawing.
Oliver has some thoughts about Westminster over at 5 Minutes for Fido. He's even showing a video of the Papillon Breed's Best in Show segment. They are beautful, Oliver, but sorry, fella--the cookies are still Scotties.
