We're still here near the University of Minnesota. The wind was so strong we decided that we didn't want to tip over in the Campaign Camper, so we're holed up in the Radisson for another day. It's so cold (how cold is it?) . .. not a soul is out walking around. The reason I know this is because every once in a while a pup's gotta pee!

Meteorologist Ron and I did a weather report outside in the wind and snow. Br-r-r-r-r. .

Weatherman Ron & I freeze our you-know- whats off reporting on the "Climate of the Election!"

BTW - the Radisson doesn't allow dogs - good thing I don't think I'm a dog. So what corporate human made that silly "games locked for canines" decision anyway? Bet they lose lots of biz because of that.

The rest of the day while the BTV team worked on blogs and other computer silliness, Pudge and I elected to sleep. Who says dogs don't make good choices! Arf-Arf!

Shh-h-h - don't tell the Radisson Hotel. . . . .

Off to Sioux Falls tomorrow.

OK, Minnie Ha-Ha Park - with the computer lingo, shouldn't that now be Minnie LOL? (Sometimes I just crack myself up). OK, Saturday in the park with Minnie . . . oops, there I go again with a little Broadway humor . . . very little. It was a busy day in Minneapolis for me and The BARK THE VOTE team. First it was off to Chuck & Don's fab store for a "pup rally".

No one could find a table - so we got creative!

Weatherman Ron talks pet nutrition to a nice human at Chuck & Don's while I catch a few Z's.

So, what's wrong with a little endorsement for Nature's Variety. I mean really little! Arf-Arf!

Snow tomorrow? No way. Could Meteorologist Ron finally be wrong? BOL!

You're kidding - they even have a Barnes & Noble store way out here too! (Note to self: this store in Minn, didn't have my "Schmitty''s Faux Paw" 2009 calendar in stock. That's so wrong!)

Then it was off to Minnie Ha-Ha (Ha!) Park for Pitt Bull Awareness Day. Pudge and I got to hang out with some very nice pitt bulls and their 2 legged guardians. "A Rotta Love" is the name of the dedicated Rotti/pitbull rescue group. Don't ya just love the name?

My new best friends in Minnie Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha Park.

This is my new friend, Maddie. She was so sweet. She's even a therapy dog. Just glad she didn't think we were rabbits!

Even went for a pack walk. Cesar Milano, eat your heart out!

The end of the day at Minnie "You-Know-What" Falls. Maybe everyone is laughing because there's NO WATER!

When you have a furry face - how do you do put on make up? Very carefully. Arf-Arf! Meteorologist Ron Trotta and moi were invited to be on KSTP's Twin Cities LIVE in Minneapolis this afternoon.

How many stars bring their own green room?

Speaking of green rooms - I met the guys from Mystery Theatre in the green room . . . and the green room wasn't even . . . you guessed it. And the next time some nay sayer (OK what's a nay sayer?) makes fun of me, a five pound pooch trying to make a difference and having a high profile life - I just look to these Sci Fi guys for inspiration. They did a show about some guy with silly robots making fun of movies - all from the backs of their heads! They did all the shows themselves at first cuz they said no one in high places would have given a "green light" to have ever done the show. Now that's believing - something we all have to do more of!

Just chilling in the KSTP green room with my new heroes - the Sci Fi Mystery Guys.

The set of TCL is a really nice living room like set. I sat on these really tall stools with the two legged host and Weatherman Ron. (The segment will be on my BTV LIVE page! Check it out soon!).

I don't mind making an appearance, but the purple dress is clashing with my red, white and blue!

OK, off to dinner and more sleeping.

Arf-Arf,
Schmitty

Rolled into Madison, WI after midnight. Slept there. Woke up, did a weather report, then got gas . . . not from the food - at a truck stop. Now just a 6 hour ride to Minneapolis. I could find license plates from all 50 states or I could sleep.
Nighty night. Arf-Arf!

Madison is a real gas - station that is! Arf-Arf!
