Wow! Is it me or does this election feel like it's been going on and on forever? I think we are all ready for this election to be done with so we can get on with our lives - chasing squirrels, playing ball and oh yeah, lots of naps! I know I'm ready for a big long nap.
And now for the results of the BARK THE VOTE Pooch Poll. Drum Roll please!
But wait - before I give you the results - here's a few 4 legged voter comments:
(Sorry I couldn't mention everyones - there were so-o-o-o-o-o many!)
Hank The Tank, a Great Dane from North Carolina voted for Senator Obama. Hank said:
. . . he's going to adopt a pet for his family, so a vote for him gets a rescue dog in the White House.
Cooter Brown, a Miniature Schnauzer from Texas voted for Senator McCain. Cooter said:
Because he and Palen are the only ones with all four on the ground. if you get my drift! Woof!
Mr. Fu, a Westie from California voted for Obama. Mr. Fu said:
That lady w/the old man might shoot me!

He's a cool guy who can change things for the better . . . especially for dogs.

Honest, trustworthy, experience with other breeddogs, does well in gatherings . . .

You have to ask?

I'm a McCainine and want to see fellow Yorkie Lucy & Desi in the White House.
Now for the results of the pooch poll . . . but wait - just one more thing . . . .
Today was our last day to BARK THE VOTE. As we drove around LA this last voting day, we could tell by all the horn honking and hand/paw waving that the BARK THE VOTE message had gotten out there So, for our last hurrah it was off to Pasedena to visit The Pasadena Humane Society, a shelter that is a part of our DOGS WHO CARE network. I'm so excited to finally take a tour. Steve McNally, top dog at PHS is one funny human, but boy does he do a goodjob. I'm not great at math (not enough fingers!), but I think he said Pasadena Humane Society find homes for close to 97% of the pets who end up there. Wow!
What a pack! OK, who's the leader - BOL!
Then it was off to I Dig My Dog, a doggy day care and pet boutique right in
Pasadena. What a cool place. All the pooches get to play. They even have
nap times. I dig that!
A doggie playground - did I die and go to heaven?
Cameraman Zach, Schmitty & Pudge in the BARK THE VOTE green room
Not much time left to vote!
Put a fork in me - I'm done!
I couldn't have said it better!
Wow! All this time and energy to get humans to vote and now it's almost over. The candidates must be exhausted. I know I am.
OK, IT'S TIME! Yipppee! Here's the final results of the BARK THE VOTE Pooch Poll:
64% voted for Barack Obama
23% voted for John McCain
13% voted undecided.
Does the canine constituency know? We'll see tonight. And I trust that who ever wins will give this country a fair shake. More treats for everyone! Oh my - I'm starting to sound like a politician. I need a nap - but not before I find out who the next president is going to be.
Arf-Arf,
Schmitty, The Real New Yorkie
