Today was the
Bark For Barack dog walk for dogs to raise money for Obama.
We met up with the other Democrat dogs at the start of the walk at the Bradford Beach Pavilion. There was a pretty good turn out.
Some dogs had signs that read "POOP FOR PALIN". And some were dressed like bees because they said "B for
Barack!"
Here's Keeley "paling around" with a fellow terrier.
The walk route was marked by these Barack Obama heads.
We decided for Keeley to not wear his Democrat donkey shirt because we couldn't figure out what to do with his harness without obstructing the shirt. Instead Keeley's grandma made him a "Dogs for Obama" bandana. And of course, he also go a "Bark for Barack" bandana for participating today too.
Keeley did really good on the walk! We walked up North Avenue and then up Oakland and then turned on Newberry and then down Downer Avenue to end at the Obama Headquarters.
We found that he likes to be the leader of a pack.
Sometimes, he was so far out in front that it looked like he was walking alone.
Cars driving by would honk at us and the people would stick their heads out the windows and cheer. A kid was chanting "BARK FOR BARACK! ARF!"
It was cold this morning but by noon, the weather had turned nice. What a great day for a dog walk!

Keely...you look like you had a fab time at the Bark for Obama Walkie!! We had NO idea how tall you are till we saw ya with that rather substantial wire foxy...Stan's pretty small for an Airedale and you two look to be about the same size...very handsome!
We looked at those pix of the walk you took on the Ice Age trail...how bootiful that is!!
Bet you're sad to see the end of summer...we sure are!!
Barkin' at ya...

How awesome, except those Obama heads were just at the right level for, well, a dog to use. Not that anyone there would have dared to pee on Barack. Now McCain or Palin, that is a whole different story, peeing on their heads would be fun!
