GG Goes Fishing

GG's editor thought about getting a goldfish (or two)...& then she saw this series of silhouettes on Karen's Whimsy (lower right hand column links). Nope. [No fish were harmed in the production of this post.]

Bark for Barack

Or woof, if you like. GG has many, many canine friends & their humans. Visit the campaign site, democraticstuff.com, the Big Bad Woof (in Takoma Park, MD & DC--they also have gear for la gattina) & the Washington Humane Society. Read about the amazing new way they handle adoptions. Animal protection/adoption folks visit from all over the world & take ideas to their countries. It's genius.

Please go to BarackObama.com to get a list of undecided voters to call. It's nearly painless.

GG & her editor

Woof. Meow. Squeak.

Update: We've taken out the video--it is wreaking havoc on our site & is massively irritating. Go to the Post site directly to watch them. Here's a photo of GG's editor's adorable childhood pup, Archie.

Here are the six finalists (two winners) in the Washington Post's Pet Songs Contest. Seriously. Naturally (sigh) both winning songs are to dogs. Not that there's anything wrong with being a dog. But we just knew that no cat song would win. You can vote for the reader's choice award here. The Post critics chose Bones; the staff pick is Mr. Scrappers, You're a Good Boy. (Baron von Scrappers is a Katrina rescue dog, & we have a soft spot for those guys.) There are four additional video/songs in competition for the popular vote: Sami Cat, Rescue Dog Rock, Georgia (cat), & in the Squeak category, Rat Song (or "We've Got Three Rats"). Actually, ever since seeing Ratatouille, we can't shriek at the sight of a rat (if it's not in our apartment). Miss Virginia, one of the rats, is quite a looker.

PS: Thank you to snuzzy.com [a really fun animal/pet site] for video link assistance. The Post is definitely not making it easy to share these videos. One has to question their business plan. More on Snuzzy.com soon.
