Dying is easy. Blogs are hard! Hey, I'm only a five pound pooch, but how does everyone keep up with writing and reading all these blogs? And they say there are millions of them out there. Amazing.

Speaking of amazing . . . here's a story that happened while out on the BARK THE VOTE campaign trail. A couple of weeks ago, my sister Pudge and I tagged along with my 2 legged folks to my neighborhood Barnes & Noble store at Lincoln Center. My 2 legged folks wanted to fetch an autographed copy of Barbara Walter's new book for a Mom's Day gift. My plan was to go along for the ride and give a BARK THE VOTE postcard to Ms. Walter so she would encourage her dog, Cha-Cha to go to the Pooch Poll on www.barkthevote.org to vote.

Well, not only did my 2 legged folks get her autographed book, but when Barbara looked up and saw Pudge and me across the table - she giggled and next thing you know - she was holding Pudge. Figures - while I'm working the room for BARK THE VOTe, Pudge is getting her picture taken! Someone from the Washington Post even took a picture and asked for my name, Pudge's name and my 2 legged Mom's name.

Fast forward to the next day - I was lying on my pillow (having a strategy meeting, of course!) when I heard Ms. Walters on her show, "The View" say, " By the way, that was not my dog with me in the Washington Post today." HUH? Wouldn't ya know - while I'm working like a dog to Get Out The Vote, my pesky sister, Pudge is in a HUGE front page picture with Barbara in the Style section - with the caption " I thought, well, let people know I have a human side," says Barbara Walters, with her pooch Pudge at a book signing." Amazing!

Just goes to show there are those that serve and those that get all the glory. Arf-Arf! No matter - I just want to know if Cha-Cha ever went to barkthevote.org and voted? Barbara Walters. - if you are reading this - help us Get Out The Vote. Why not have your dog, Cha-Cha and me as your 4 legged guests on "The View" to "bark" about taking a bite out of voter apathy. And let poor Pudge pee in peace without someone saying, "Is that Barbara's dog?" BOL!

Whaddyathink, Ms. Walters?

Never a dull moment on the campaign trail!

Arf-Arf,
Schmitty
