Today, I was present at the 28th Drake Relays Beautiful Bulldog Contest at Nollen Plaza in Downtown Des Moines. Fifty-two bulldogs were competing for the title and another dozen or so were among the noontime onlookers. For nearly an hour, the panel of local celebrity judges mingled among the entrant, examining each dog, chatting with their handlers, and considering the varied costumes. Then, each was given their time on the runway. Eight finalists were chosen and awarded various distinctions including youngest, oldest, most congenial, and furthest from the doghouse. In the end, Riggs was chosen as the most beautiful bulldog.

haha, how bizarre! I hadn't checked up on your blog in a little while, but it looks like you've been busy! I also wanted to comment on the descriptive element of your writing style, as it is very well suited to the format you're working in: concise yes, but I noticed that you seem to make room for things that may not be immediately apparent. It's those little things that you've always been good at picking up on. Keep up the good work
