Orlando Shenanigans

by Sandy Weaver

The word “judge” paints a picture. Most of the time, the words that describe the picture would be words like “serious”, “staid”, and “studious”. The word “pompous” might even be bandied about.

Not today!

Today, at the AKC-DJAA Sporting and Non-Sporting Institute in Orlando, those words do not apply to the judges and aspiring judges in attendance. Why the change? Today was declared “Ugly Sweater” day, and lots of people brought their “A” game. There were people in sweaters from the store, depicting everything from a pug with legs ready and willing to go walking to an understated one with a twist on “Best in Show”. One well-endowed judge declared that her sequined deer head sweater should win Best in Rack.

Then there were those who concocted their ugly sweaters from bits and pieces and more than a little bit of zaniness. A Christmas tree sweater dress, complete with tinsel…a new designer breed festooned with flashing lights…a dog fabric tree on a sweater covered with gifts and snow on the sleeves… and yes, a sweater festooned with poop bags filled with something potentially disgusting decorating a tree topped with Poohmoji and finished off with a poo poo tutu! Onlookers were heard saying things like “that one should have top prize in the bag,” “is there an award for sh÷%#!@$t sweater” and “eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww!”

Check out some of the definitely non- pomposness going on this week in Orlando. Who gets your vote for Ugliest Sweater?
