"The girls want a dog real bad"

Tiny's in clover after the recent unpleasantness with skunkie. We mixed up the magic potion of H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), baking soda and dishwashing liquid, and it really works. One more application tomorrow, and she's scent free.

"As Sissy says:  Look to the animals!" blogs the totally awesome Amba of Ambivablog, noting that the Obamas are pet free:

Could be they don't have time to take care of them, and their kids are a little young for the responsibility. Michelle lets slip in this campaign video that the girls want a dog real bad.

"The pets are ready to give him a pass, it seems, like so many others," notes Amba. 'Reminds us of the Clintons, whose animals were always props in all-about-me fantasies about how much they care about you and me. No real animal person would fall for it. Maybe that is our salvation.

Making the blogosphere safe for catblogging. When you've got not only Lucianne and Drudge and Instapundit and Pajamas Media but Jules Crittendon and Solomonia and Maggie's Farm out there scanning the horizon, you've got time to smell the skunks and roses on your own blog. First robin of spring sighted this day bob bob bobbing along across the yard, pulling up worms coming up for air in the downpour that had Tuck in the basement pumping for hours. Plumbing expert is on the case of what to do about those old pipes that just aren't there anymore.

It is good to see Tiny recovering from her unpleasant encounter. I have high hopes that the Blogosphere is slowly teaching the MSM to calm their rhetoric.

Wow, even Nixon had a pet. There ought to be like a law or something. "You need to have members of more than 1 species like you."

I'm so glad to hear Tiny is nearly "scent free". It must be so hard for her and Baby with even more sensitive noses than we have!

As for Drudge... After his blasting of the news that Prince Harry was in Afghanistan. I don't care how many cats or dogs he has - his endangerment of the troops was completely uncalled for. Anyone who gives out troop movements (which is what his story was) can rot in hell for all I care - no matter how nice he is to animals.

Sorry, but having a vested interest in those with a bulls-eye on them... I have zero tolerance for those who want "a scoop".
