Dogs for Obama

Keeley and I were on our normal weekend morning walk at Lake Park today and we caught wind of some kind of dog walk to support Obama. When we got over to the area where a bunch of dogs play off leash, the dog people asked us if we were going to attend it. I said we would but so far don't know any details about it. Well, that's all it took. Seconds later they had given me a flier all about it. (See Below)(click the image to enlarge) It's called BARK FOR BARACK! And it's next Saturday at noon here in Milwaukee. We think it sounds like it's going to be a really fun event and so we're spreading the word to all the dog people we know.
The flier also said to have fun dressing up your dogs for the walk. So today we went to Metropawlis to find Keeley some Obama garb. Kirby told us in Chicago there's dog gear for sale that says "I love Obama" and so we were hoping to find something like that. We had no luck with that but we did find a democrat donkey shirt for Keeley. It looks good on him so it will do just fine.
Boy, until I saw this picture, I didn't realize how badly Keeley needs to get groomed! He's looking mighty scruffy!

On a related topic, back in August we reported about how the AKC set up a poll to vote for what breed dog would be best for the Obamas after the election. Well, we heard that the standard poodle won but that Michelle Obama announced on TV this past week that they've decided to adopt a dog instead of buying a purebred.
