Campari Feld, just back from covering this year’s Westminster Dog Show, has provided a detailed dispatch of the 3rd Annual Black Tie & Tails gala (as told to his mom, Karen Feld) to The Alexandria Times. Some doggone good tidbits:
Alexandria Rep. Jim Moran — who co-sponsored a bill barring dog fur imports from China — and two-month-old Little Lulu stopped to chat. “She’s named after my wife and loves to snuggle,” said Moran. “She sleeps on a pillow between us.” Moran added cautiously, “We waited until we had been married a year to get her.” This evening was for and about dogs but Moran did comment on the Democrats’ control of the congress: “At least people in Northern Virginia will know we’re not crazy and that our priorities – envisioning diplomacy and investing in education – are different from those of the White House.”
The highlight of my evening was meeting pet psychic Diane Roadcap of Springfield. She actually knew what I was thinking. She talked to me and translated symbols that I gave her. I told her that “I have my mom wrapped around my paw, and I feel like a little celebrity.” Roadcap told my mom that I was showing her “ribbons.” She said that I come from a line of champions. She’s right, but I wondered how she knew that. She told me that my purpose in life is to be a “healer, and I should be doing some kind of therapy work.” She also told my mom that I showed her “airplanes,” which she interpreted as a fondness for travel. I am a well-traveled guy since I accompany my mom all the time.
No word on how much the pampered pooch gets paid for his insights, but hopefully it’s more than those kids at Yeas & Nays. He’s a better writer!

English Springer kicks some 
First, Russian President Vladimir Putin was caught on camera snuggling a young lad little too closely. Now, he’s getting a little too close for comfort with his own pet pooch.
