There is nothing to report about the WWT walk today other than it was in Olmos Park and that five ladies came, including our newest member, Lyn Belisle.
But there’s big news nonetheless: my “cousin” Sadie just won best-in-show at the Westminster Dog Show in Madison Square Garden. You will remember that she’s the Scottish Terrier owned by Mary’s first cousin that’s been winning best-in-show throughout the country.
My mistress went to a different cousin’s house to see the victory on TV last night Unfortunately, I couldn’t go since the hostess has five dogs of her own. But I heard all about it when Mary and Lewis got back.
Unlike last year when Sadie had what a news article referred to as a “carpet accident” at the Garden, this year she was the picture of grace and decorum. The judge who awarded her the honor told the New York Times that “She’s pleasing to the eye at every angle.” And he went on to say that a dog of that caliber comes up only once in a decade.
This morning—celebrity that she now is—Sadie opened the New York Stock Exchange. And with her handler, Gabriel Rangel, she made the rounds of media outlets and basked in her glory.
But hey-- enough about her. What about me?
I had my own moment of glory this week when yet another cousin sent Mary a gorgeous watercolor portrait. It seems that Joan Dilworth so admired me when they came to visit recently that when she got home she painted my likeness.
And guess what? Mary is going to hang it next to the line drawing and pastel portraits of me that Mary’s friend Karen Condit has done. The grouping will hang on a wall above the computer where I scribble this blog. So I guess you could say that I will be my own muse as they inspire me from above.
