If you were spotted, hairy, wrinkled, bald, tall, short, or even long and stumpy, you were welcomed Friday and Saturday, Jan. 9-10, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. And that was just the dogs. The event, a two-day congregation of all breeds, was sponsored by the Kennel Club of Palm Springs. All breeds definitely showed up, from the tallest Irish wolfhound to the teensiest Chihuahua.

What we’re talking about are the canine members of the Standard Poodle Club of the Desert near Palm Springs, Calif.

I distracted it (we later found it was a her) and managed to get hold of the collar.

When I failed to find anyone who looked like a panicked pet owner, I took the dog home.
