The Doggie Wars
I know…it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie. But I swear, this bit about Romney not liking animals because he strapped a dog carrier to the top of his car and transported his dog in it has me wondering just what kind of wimps are running the Democrat campaign. Well no, that’s not entirely true. I confess that I’ve considered David Axelrod a wimp since the first time I heard his whiny voice. Can you imagine that wussified elitist standing in front of a formation and calling out commands? Or running beside one and calling cadence? Didn’t think so.
So what, exactly, are the Democrats flapping their gums about in the Doggie Wars? Flapping ears? What, in their minds, was wrong with what Mitt Romney did in strapping Seamus, his setter, in a canine carrier on top of his car, granting Fido his fondest wish? It seems Axelrod and the Democrats are as out of touch with dogs as they are with ordinary people.
Anyone who’s spent any time at all around dogs knows that the very thing canines love most about cars, well other than lifting a leg on alloy wheels, is an open window to poke their heads from as the oncoming airflow pushes back their gums into a joyful grin and their ears flap wildly about their heads. Out here in cowboy country, the border collies run freely in the backs of pickups and one thing you can bet the rent money on is that when the vehicle is in motion, the dogs’ muzzles are facing into the wind. Follow one of the trucks down the highway and you will often see the mutts running back and forth, from one side to the other, poking their noses around the cab. It almost appears that they are seeking the side with the greatest wind velocity.
This is such a universal behavior that I recently asked our country veterinarian about it. She grinned and responded, “You know, you’re right…they do seem to love the wind, don’t they? I have no idea why.” So, while the why remains a mystery, the fact that dogs love the wind in their faces every bit as much as bikers, remains an observable truth. But the real mystery “why” is, “Why did the Democrats make Seamus an issue in the first place?” Why all the flapping gums over flapping ears? Good grief, please don’t anyone show those Democrat pussies these pictures or they’ll be soiling their silkies. Furthermore, the thought just occurred to me that those SEAL’s are making those poor puppies jump out of perfectly good aircraft because their chain of command has ordered them to do precisely that.
And guess who sits atop that chain.
Ahem…
This is turning into a real dog-eat-dog situation for you-know-who.
POSTSCRIPT: a talking head on FOX just reminded me that you-know-who likes to take all the credit for the success of the raid on Osama bin Laden. Well, excuse me, Mr. Axelrod, but doesn’t that mean that your dog-eating Dear Leader directly and deliberately caused a canine to come under hostile fire? Omigod, the horror of it all! And Axelrod wanted a Doggie War? What’s next in his brilliant strategy, attacking Romney because he didn’t have to pay his own college tuition?

Democrats are clearly cat people.
That being said, I think strapping a dog carrier to the top of you car, with your dog inside is… weird.
While most people tend to wash their dog down with a hose, it appears our esteemed President prefers to wash down dog with a cold beer…
The new Obama cookbook is coming out next week. It’s called, 101 Ways To Wok Your Dog. I hear some of the recipies are a bit spicy…have a little bite to them, so to speak.
I’m thinking about starting a campaign to ask folks to send bags of “Kibbles & Bits” to the White House for the president’s snack bowls.
As I have read, this crate that was used on the top of his car was re-engineered to make it suitable for the dog with a wind shield at the front of it. His dog might have felt deprived of getting “his face in the wind” if this is so. Sorta like a biker putting a windshield on his bike, after buying it to “get in the wind”.
Real dog lovers should go after Romney for not allowing his dog to get max wind if, in fact, the crate was so altered.
our prez ATE a dog, and putting the specialized dog crate on the roof of a car is bad? As I was reminded yesterday, the dems shouldn’t bring up the past (or should they?)
Good Lord, these people are morons.
Must be something really, really big and bad going on under the table for them to be directing focus in this direction.
Craaaaazy, man.
Had me a Lab that would wake me up on Sundays if I slept in so he could ride with me up to get the paper at the closest store-10 miles away. Once we tagged along with my brother- a long haul trucker-dog spent most of the time sittin’ in my lap with his head stuck out the window!
I’ve heard they love it because of their sense of smell-apparently it releases so many Doggie-Endorphins,its like taking an acid trip.
Poetrooper, at the risk of taking you literally, the reason this is a “controversy” is that, on one trip, Seamus got diarrhea, and coated the top of the station wagon & windows. Romney stopped at a gas station, hosed down the car & the dog, and finished the trip.
When this came out, it was flogged as cruelty because the dog was in there for 12 hours on that trip, not to mention the poop. 😉 What they don’t mention was Ann Romney pointing out that Seamus “loved” those trips (plural), and he became quite excited. Given the word “trips,” it would seem that for all but one trip, Seamus was fine traveling.
They also tend to “forget” to mention Romney had rigged a windshield for the carrier.
So that’s why Mitt Romney is a cruel and evil man.
Q:How do you carry your dog?
A:(Romney) In a car carrier.
A:(Obama) In a doggie bag.
