Pugs for Obama


Several of the people who read my blog have commented on the strange and unusual noises coming out of Maggie. Even though her little vocalizations are usually a precursor to either breakfast or dinner, Tom, Tyler and I have always managed to convince ourselves that she was actually trying to say “I love you”.

Over the past few days we’ve noticed that her “I love you” has morphed into “Obama”. Granted it’s a little strange, but no surprise considering Tom has been glued to CNN, watching all of the recent Democratic election coverage.

Even though our family doesn’t always agree on politics, we're all very excited about the idea of Obama for President. I hate to resort to using a cliché, but it really does feel like we are entering a new era.

The truth is, whoever wins the general election is facing difficult times. It will take our world years and years to recover from the damage inflicted by the Bush Administration.

But for the Ryan family, President Obama will signify a return to intelligence, respect, diplomacy - and hope for the future.

They both look like they're channeling positive vibes for a promising future. And that would certainly explain their fervent, enthusiastic vocalizations - it must be very frustrating to know the truth and not be well understood! Better times are indeed now ahead thanks to the determination of Tex, Maggie and millions of others with clear and wise vision. Go Obama go!

Props to the pugs!

Cats like Obama, too! If only I could get the big cats to make me a nice sign.

Ha Ha! I love it! I'm sure there's a little cocker spaniel barking
" Clinton!" and a gun toting pit bull shouting "McCain!" ( no offence to pit bulls)
