There's no business like show business, and there's no better show business than the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show: It makes the Grammys look like the ESPYs. Once again, intrepid Siberian husky Chuchi's Yuki kept an exclusive journal for Couch Slouch on his four-legged week in New York:
• Wednesday: Due to heightened security measures, we now have to give paw prints when we register at Westminster. ... Everyone's happy to see us back. The Ziegfeld Theater is showing "Tinker Tailor Soldier Samoyed". ... I think the beagle's new handler is from Denver; his commands were: sit, stay, heel, Tebow. ... I wasn't there, but Occupy Wall Street did not seem dog friendly. ... Had to travel from LAX to JFK in the cargo hold. Probably a blessing -- the in-flight movie was "One for the Money". ... If I never have to pee or poop again in the rain, it would be fine by me.
• Thursday: Six new breeds at Westminster this year, although I don't think the Wirehaired Glove Chewer has been AKC-approved. ... If I have to hear the Boston terrier yapping about Tom Brady, there's going to be trouble. ... When I howl at the moon, it's because I can hear Nancy Grace on HLN. ... Public perception aside, some of the nicest dogs I've ever met have been Rottweilers and pit bulls. ... Last week I TiVoed "Bones" on Fox. It was, ahem, not what I thought it would be. ... If Lindsay Lohan shows up, I hope she steals the Pomeranian.
• Friday: Charles Barkley can tout Weight Watchers all he chooses, but if he wants to drop the excess pounds, he should just do like we do: Eat only twice a day. ... Why do I bark at postal carriers? Because their pensions are killing off the USPS. ... I would never want to be the First Dog -- D.C.'s too humid in the summer. ... You can tell the golden retriever is from Seattle. He's got a "venti" water bowl. ... Memo to Oprah: Looking for a way to jump-start your struggling OWN network? More dog shows! ... I'd kill for an Angus burger.
