Doggie Dos and Doggie Don't Knows at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
Daniel Barnum-Swett · 02/17/10 04:17PMHot on the paws of the cute meltdown that was last week's Puppy Bowl and coinciding with the Vancouver Olympics, the 134th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show was a canine alternative in the same spirit of elite competition.
After two days of doggie deliberations, Cede (that's short for Mercedes) the Scottish Terrier took home the Best in Show prize—a trophy cup big enough for her to sit in—but it was CNBC commentators' barely informed, innocuous breed banter that won the viewers. Gabbing at the world's greatest dog show, the anchors showed their deep understanding of the beasts.

Mike Byhoff · 02/12/10 09:36AMOnce in a while the battle between an unstoppable force and an immovable object shake the very foundation of our beliefs: gorilla vs. bear, shark vs. alligator, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. None of these compare to Kitty vs. Robo-Arm.

Daniel Barnum-Swett · 02/11/10 11:45AMThe warped adoration required to become a crazy old cat lady can be a beautiful thing if focused on a single beast. Feline sophisticate Tessa, who learned her manners from her mistress, is a product of that powerful, freakish love.
