Dog Show

Thanks to Olga Quinn

One night I was watching the late night news, and it was just about to go off. The phone rang and startled me as any late night call would. It was my daughter, the nurse, who keeps crazy hours. She said, “Don’t you have direct tv?” And I in turn said yes, but wasn’t it a little late to be calling me and asking me that. She then proceeded to tell me to turn to a certain channel. I did so and found out why she was calling me. The show that was on was Best in Show or as we call it The Dog Show. When my daughter was growing up, she and I would always somehow end up watching that show together. We don’t even like dogs that much, but would always have fun laughing at all the weird looking dogs in this dog competition. When my daughter was in college, that dog competition would come on and whoever saw it first would call the other and tell her to turn it on. Then we would just stay on the phone a watch the show together over the phone. I know it sounds a little weird, but it is just something that we have always done.
