"Why Republicans Are Bad For Poodles" by Domino, the mini poodle

Domino Waiting for Storm

My poodle brother, Dash, and I have spent the better part of the last 2 days waiting at home for the tornado to hit the Gulf Coast in Florida.  Fortunately, it’s been relatively mild, so we got lucky- our human family stayed put (just to be sure) but without the usual storm hysteria involving flashlights, cans of tuna and crackers.

This gift of free time for dogs is just like a snow day for children: anything goes.

For us that means: treats for breakfast; long stretches of scratch-our-tummies; lolling about mindlessly with our usually preoccupied human mother; impromptu visits from her peculiar friends- all this makes for a festive and devil may care experience.

The one drawback is that the Republican National Convention was on TV.  It broke the mood to hear our mother call people names while she watched it with us, and once she even threw a shoe at the screen.

It was a soft house slipper, but still.
