Nope.  This message was delivered to "Rose, Ernie & Pat"
<bluegoose.kennels@bfsmedia.com>, which is why
"bfsmedia-bluegood.kennels@bfsmedia.com" shows up in the Delivered-To: line at
the top of the message (it's a qmail-ism resulting from the bfsmedia.com being
a virtual domain -- i.e. the addresses in it /don't/ correspond to Unix
accounts on that server).

This looks like it doesn't belong in the spam corpus -- it's a legitimate
(albeit mass-addressed) piece of mail.  If you and your prize dog were going
to be on national TV for the first time, wouldn't you email everyone in your
addressbook, telling them to watch?  <wink>
