A BLACK LAB and A TENNIS BALL

JUST A LITTLE "OH MY DOG" STORY

With A Touch Of Political Incorrectness

Sunday afternoon, a sunny and beautiful autumn afternoon.  Until Dougie Dog breaks from his leash.  Running like the wind, down the streets of the neighborhood.  Nearly impossible to catch him.  He is fast and faster.  And the millions of olfactory receptors in that big soft nose lead him onward!  Then, like magic ~ he stops in a neighboring yard.  The yard where Bailey, the two-year old German Shepherd lives.  So we catch up.  So we catch him.

How?  Why?  Like Dougie Dog ... Bailey leaves her tennis balls hither and yon, scattered here and there, all about the yard.  It's a tennis ball that has stopped him.  Caught his attention.  He cannot resist.  The tennis balls overcome all else.  Tennis balls have power like nothing in the world!

And speaking of Sundays ... in our home, Sundays usually find us reading The New York Times.   And the Sunday Review section, with op ed pieces is my personal favorite (especially as I am a political junkie ...).

I really don't know what is right/wrong, correct/incorrect about quoting from the "news" so I hope it's alright to quote from an article here ... I am giving credit for it ... but this paragraph was so spot-on, and amusing, I couldn't resist!  And if you have a Lab or most any dog , you'll most likely enjoy it, too!

On October 8, 2016, Maureen Dowd, an excellent columnist, wrote an op ed piece called Donald Goes To The Dogs.

Speaking with Steve Schmidt, a Republican strategist, Dowd asked him what bait Hillary might dangle this time to get Trump to lose it  ... "   “Same bait,” Schmidt replied. “I have a black Lab and when you show the black Lab a tennis ball, there is fire in his eyes. He is going to get that ball. He’ll do it a thousand times. No more than the Lab can’t not chase the ball, Trump can’t not respond. He’s unable to not have the last word.”

Given that Trump has dubbed so many women dogs, there’s poetic justice in comparing him to one.

Throw a tennis ball, the black Lab goes after it. But it’s not fair to compare Trump to a dog. 

Dogs are awesome.

BREAKING NEWS: Just Hours Until The Great Debate and The Countdown Clock Is Running

The final part, Part 3 of Our Holiday Album will return on Friday as we now interrupt our schedule for:

~ ~ BREAKING NEWS ~ ~

Were you among the 9 or 10 viewers to watch Monday night pre-season football or the 2 or 3 who watched the debate? What, you say?  Our stats are way off!  Can't be.  Polls don't lie.  The HILL in a pink (red) pantsuit don't lie.  The Hat on Yellow Hair don't lie.  NEVER!  And we'll PROVE it to you!!!

TUNE IN, all day, LIVE video and audio on YouTube and watch the REAL debate.  Yeah, you heard right.  The REAL one.  The HILL vs the HAT vs the DONK!  And it's a foregone conclusion just who will win this one.  And we expect 100+million bazillion gazillion viewers!  All of you with paws and claws and tails and whiskers.  You who meow and bark and chirp and squeak.  

Save the DATE: Thursday, September 29 ~ available for viewing ALL DAY LONG

Save the PLACE:  Just go to this LINK RIGHT HERE tomorrow to get to YouTube (PG rated) 

  

Moderated by the one and only KONG

No guarantees that The Hat on Yellow Hair will show up.  At this hour, he has sent only The Hat and an 800# for product ordering.  FTC rules prohibit publishing of this number as candidates are not allowed to advertise, market or attempt to sell products for personal gain during the debate.  But then RUMP is traditionally a self serving rule breaker, yeah!

And note that The Hill (in the pink pantsuit) is already pointing fingers of blame towards Gentleman Joe ~ she'd been caught recently snooping around in his email accounts (of which he

has only ONE we hasten to note, on a public and government approved server!!!), but

somehow (???) her campaign team got access to it ... maybe the Rump helped a bit ... but we

digress here ... let's turn the mic over to KONG before he throws banana peels at the

audience.  Don't forget to TUNE IN tomorrow, Thursday, September 29 ...

 

PETS IN POLITICS: The Great Debate

THAT debate on Monday is sure to draw some record-breaking ratings!

But if you want the real thing, tune in next Thursday, September 29

when the one, the only, ass-kicker JOE goes hoof-to-tail

against Rump: The Hair and The Hat and HRC: Hell in a Pink Pantsuit.

Yeah, if you thought there were only two choices (well, there are others ...)

at the top of the ticket, think again!

 Bring bananas please, it'll keep KONG calm!

Exclusively on these channels:

NELLIE ON THE EDGE

MARG'S ANIMALS

and here at Zoolatry

P.S.  got a question for any of the candidates?  email Nellie or Zoolatry before Monday

P.P.S.  The fact that Joe and Smoke, whose home base as you know is

Marg's Animals, were unable to post and access internet for a few days earlier this

week has come to our attention.  An investigation has been initiated as we strongly suspect

hacking and foul play by the opposition party (or suspicious foreign interests)

 and such shenanigans will not 

be tolerated.  After all, we are the ass kickers!

PETS IN POLITICS ~ Clean Your Sunglasses!

With less than 50 days left until Election Day [raise those hooves, donks!],

I'M LATE, I'M LATE ... for a most impawtent ... PETS IN POLITICS

SIGH.  OH, DEAR.  OH WOE IS ME.

The alarm did not go off.  Or did I not hear the alarm?

Whatever!

AF DONKS No. 1 took off for NYC well over an hour ago.  The whole campaign team was on board.  They'd already picked up Joe and Smoke from their barns down Asaville way ... Nellie had the team well-organized for some of the biggest fund-raising dinners and rallies yet!  And me?  Still snoozing, under the covers ... oh, woe is me!

But here I am now.   I was rushing out on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews ... when I heard that

AF DONKS No. 2 was grounded.  GROUNDED!  Yeah!  Can you believe it?  I even gave up on my breakfast to get out here!  But that is one mighty storm headed in ... so I'm calling it a day, and heading back home.
