Our good friends, the Taylors, received free VIP tickets to the 2007 Purina National Dog Show from a family friend and asked us if we wanted to go. I had always wanted to see a dog show in person! We had such a great time! It was awesome to see all the different breeds.
Here is a beautiful Great Dane, he is so big!
This was my favorite dog, the Doberman Pinscher, incredibly well-behaved, and like a giant version of Max :) He won Best in Group, and went on to be a runner up for Best in Show. 
It was so fun to get VIP treatment! We got to sit in a special area with drinks, cookies, all kinds of snacks and comfy seats! The judges not judging the current event were sitting all around us and we learned a lot from them! It apparently takes quite a long time to become a judge. You have to takes all kinds of tests and have tons of experience. One lady we talked to had been doing it for 7 years and could only judge 16 breeds (there are over 150)!
Allison and I even had a little brush with fame! As you can see below, we met John O'Hurley (think J. Peterman, Dancing with the Stars) who was hosting the Show. Wow, we look white without the spray on tan!
We also met Trace Worthingon, an aeriel skiing Hall of Famer who has been in the Olympics! He happens to be from Park City!
Once the show was over, we got some great free stuff from NBC! Then, Allison asked them if they needed any help getting some of those beautiful flower arrangements out of there. They said, "sure, go ahead and take one!" Trace told us to tell our husbands some hot guys from Utah had given them to us :)
We also enjoyed a yummy dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. It was such a fun day! Thank you Taylors for sharing such a fun experience with us! And thank you Allison for taking such great pictures! We forgot our camera :(
Here is their cute family at Hard Rock:
Oh, Hello!

We had a blast, you are always good company! Even with Dan under the weather that day, he held up pretty well. BTW, I like my NBC hat, so I'll keep it!
