Don't touch that Tofurky... er, dial

Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at the Dog Denizens of Genesee Park (DDGP)!

If you are fortunate -- or damned -- into hosting the holiday meal, you are undoubtedly knee-deep in chopping, mincing, basting and baking. As you putter about the kitchen, you could watch the Macy's Thanksgiving parade or a trio of National Football League (NFL) games with almost-guaranteed results. New England Patriots v. Detroit Lions? New Orleans Saints v. Dallas Cowboys? Cincinnati Bengals v. New York Jets? Hell, why not the Seattle Seahawks v. the Spokane Shock of the Arena Football League (AFL)? Oh, wait... the last match up might not prove so one-sided.

No, you'd rather tune into a dog show. NBC is airing the Purina National Dog Show today from 12 pm to 2 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) following the Macy's parade. (The real parade on Thanksgiving through Manhattan -- as opposed to the wanna-be procession in downtown Seattle on Black Friday.) Last year's competition saw Sadie the Scottish terrier -- the bitch that would capture the "Best in Show" title at the Westminster Kennel Club two months later -- take the blue ribbon. Could 2010 be the Long Coat Chihuahua's year?

The early money is on the Brussels Griffon.

The Purina National Dog Show airs from 12 pm to 2 pm PST on Thanksgiving Day on NBC.
