Old routine is back in my town Paterswolde.
Some changes in my street though. There`s a new girl on the block,
a peppy curly black and white that I meet a lot on my walks.
She`s a good sniffer. And she gets around, I trace her markings everywhere.
Thanks for all the birthday greetings, cards and gifts. I had a great day!
My human is really busy. All I can do is show support and score some extra cookies in return.

In the US things are warming up on the campaign trails. Mud is airborne.
And this is just the start! You know I`m John Kerry`s not-so-secret-anymore running mate.
So I could chew that Van Odell`s calves if they gave me half a chance.
Hey, we all know what this is about. GWB`s humans have made a big mess of things
all over the world. We don`t want that for another four years.
So let`s give that son of a Bush a vacation and give another human a try, shall we?
OK. Deal.
Have a good week everybody!
