If you are ever in New York City the weekend before the Westminster Kennel Club Show, do yourself a favor and spend some time in the lobby of the Hotel Pennsylvania which is directly across Seventh Avenue from Penn Station and the Garden. There, I promise you, you will literally run into every breed of dog represented at the show and every type of dog owner that accompanies these breeds. A mini Best in Show, the movie, if you will and so worth a side trip. The cell phone conversations alone are priceless!
I left the excellent Pet Writer's .
Conference yesterday to cross the street and catch a train home and shared the elevator with a Boston Terrier and a Portygese Water Dog sporting a poodle cut. The most magnificent Golden Retriever was going through the revolving doors to check in as I was checking out and walked into the lobby like he owned it.
Overheard on cell phones were all matters of feeding and eliminating details. The lobby was filled with pet carriers of every size and shape and dogs trailing behind the obliging bellman who moved them.
Our speaker at lunch yesterday was David Frei, the voice of Westminster and I came home with bags of goodies for my pooches!
And that's not even including all the great contacts and information I gathered from the Conference! A great day,
