This is what those hardback composition books with the black and white covers are for.

Because books.
But he's three years old and doesn't know how to sit on command!
What? Wow. What's a conformation champion, though?

They can just use binders.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha!
The composition books don't open flat, do they? I do know what she's saying about that part, I admit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm one of those people, when given a choice between the men's/unisex and the "designed for women!" I'll generally go for the former.
Why do my polo work shirt color choices have to be pink, baby blue, turquise, purple, or white? Why can't I have sage green, tan, rustic orange, and brown?
The "four-year journey" seems just sad.

What? Wow. What's a conformation champion, though?
Conformation is the type of dog show they parodied in Best in Show; it's basically a beauty contest. As compared with obedience, rally, agility, drafting, herding, and the other kinds of dog competitions where the dog and owner actually have to do something other than look pretty. (I have some issues with conformation: it's restricted to breedable dogs for the most part, and can result in breeding for looks rather than temperment or health.)
So this new dog is a fairly attractive and slightly overweight good-natured male, with no obedience training at all. Even the kind that 99% of pet owners would require, like sitting on command. Oh, wait, no, he can walk on a leash quite well. Yay.

My parents' dog was like that! He's an English cocker who was shown briefly, and then his elderly owner had some health issues when he was four and needed to rehome him.
I expected a "show dog" to be perfectly trained, and he was ... not. He would sort of sit, but he never learned to walk on a leash properly, and he's a barker and a jumper, and all that. And my dad just spoiled him rotten, so now he's 13, completely neurotic, blind, deaf, and will knock over garbage cans and steal food off the table whenever he can.
But he is sweet!
