Whoop De Doo Doo

Where do all the dog show dogs go to the potty when nature calls? It's an unseemly subject but certainly one that millions of dog owners secretly wonder when watching Westminster.

Dog Lady can report she saw a giant Bouvier des Flandres squatting over a subway grate on 33rd Street and letting loose a rain of pee. Puddles on sidewalks were also common all around Madison Square Garden. The Hotel Pennsylvania provided a wonderful amenity -- a doggie bathroom in the basement with piles of wood shavings and faux fire hydrants discreetly placed.

Off the main arena at Madison Square Garden, there were stalls lined with splatter tarps and paved with wood chips, accommodations for large and small dogs. Here, the owners and handlers patiently waited for their champions to perform. It is said of celebrities they put on their pants one leg at a time. Nearly the same can be said of celebrity dogs.
