Bull Riding, Dog Shows and Eating Sticks

What is the purpose of Bull Riding?

I just saw a commercial for it on ESPN...I've never been one for that sport. I always worry about the Bull.  Poor thing getting those spikes stuck into it's side.  

But...I did see the Kennel Show today for a bit while I was taking a break from work.  That I think is fun.  

To watch all the dogs parading around the ring makes me smile.  

They are so well cared for and it's wonderful to see all of the different breads.

Wouldn't it be fun to have a show of rescue dogs?   Give those pups that have been though rough patches a chance to shine.  

All I know is that my dogs are connoisseurs of bark and sticks.  That seems to be their main focus on our walks thought the parks.  

Many a time have I found that one or both of them have been hiding a small stick in their mouth on the journey home.  Only to drop it happily on the kitchen floor as a present to me.   I'm so proud.

By the way....Playbill.com ran a story about Constantine today.  Here it is:  C's Story
