Influence

Mom and Dad took us on a walk this afternoon - an unusual occurrence in the middle of the day, but we humored them.  It turns out today is Election Day and they wanted to vote.  They did not let Genny and I go into the polling place or vote - a direct violation of our civil rights.

Some very nice ladies did come over to meet us and told us how beautiful we are.  One lady gushed over my blue eyes.  Then it occurred to me that I have the ability to influence others! Just by looking at them! (Mom always calls this the Paul Newman Effect) I thought about this and have decided to use my powers for good instead of evil.

The first thing I would like to do is lobby in Washington so that this Daylight Savings fiasco is finally put to an end.  I mean, really, it has made it so it gets too dark so very early and cuts into my dog park time.  We were barely there today when Mom & Dad said it was time to go.

I may also do something about this no dogs being allowed to vote thing.  However, that may be a slippery slope to cat suffrage and well, I am not sure about that.  I mean, cats are okay, but it may not be a good idea if they let us both into the same voting place at the same time.

I would be happy to consider suggestions from my fellow canine brothers and sisters, so please do let me know how I can help.

Paws up!
