    Last week, I got to interview David Frei on my radio show! He's the Westminster announcer so I was very excited! I have his book, Angel on a Leash, and when I post the review on my blog, I'll let you all know.

    That would be very cool to see in real life! I love dog shows. If I run across one on television I have to stop and watch. I have to admit I am slightly jealous of the original poster even if her experience was several years ago.

    Karen, I just read an article about the changing of sponsers of the show. They aren't going with Pedigree anymore
    and are switching to Purina. Seems people don't want to be reminded of dogs needing rescue & the sad eyed ads
    for them during the show. David Frei was quoted in the article.

    Interesting, I know I watched that sad ad once, and then hit the 'skip" button every other time it came on, I am well aware of the adoption issue, and do not need reminding. And I have not bought dog food for many years, so it doesn't influence my purchasing one way or the other, nor would it!

    Just wonder if the new sponser would continue donating $$$ for animal rescue the way Pedigree did.

    Of course you don't need reminding.....but clearly lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of people do considering how many animals are turned into shelters, killed in shelters, allowed to breed, etc. every single day. I think the commercials were well done, they should be there, and people do need to be reminded whether they want to be or not.
