Welcome to Our Friends from the Humane Society Legislative Fund!

Leroy Chihuahua says:

I notice we have quite a few new visitors from the Humane Society Legislative Fund, through their blog. Welcome!

The Humane Society Legislative Fund is a political lobbying organization that works to ensure politicians are aware of animal rights and animal welfare issues, and they also publish a lot of good information about the issues that dogs like me (and my humans) care about.

The Humane Society Legislative Fund endorses Barack Obama for President, and is encouraging interested animals and their humans to have “Humane Voting Bloc Parties” on October 19th.

If any of the political animals at the Humane Society Legislative Fund would like to make their political opinions heard, we’d love to see your pictures! Send ‘em in!

The McCain Family Dogs

Obviously, John and Cindy McCain’s dogs would love to be in the White House, romping around the Rose Garden and digging holes in the South Lawn. After all, current First Terriers Barney and Miss Beazely have a great time running around the White House grounds!

PetTheVote reader Lauren Tran was kind enough to find us some pictures of the McCains and their dogs.

Thanks, Lauren!

Congrats, Leroy Chihuahua! You’re Famous!

Leroy Chihuahua, our faithful guest-blogger, was quoted in an editorial in a real live newspaper!

Cathy Woolridge of the News-Press in St. Joseph, MO, talked about Leroy’s blogging in her August 24th article “Does Having Pets Really Matter in an Election?

She came to the same conclusion Leroy did — it’s fun to talk about, but we all hope nobody actually votes for a Presidential candidate based on the number of pets they have!

John McCain’s Dogs Make an Appearance

Leroy Chihuahua says:

John McCain’s dogs, tired of never getting to be in the spotlight, invaded an interview between John McCain and George Stephanopoulos at the McCain residence one of the seven (or is it eight?) McCain residences:

Aww! They look like pretty cool dogs, if you ask me. That’s the sort of thing my brother Leo and I would do if our humans were on TV.

Thanks to the folks at Talking Points Memo for bringing this video to light (and for giving it the silly title implying the McCain pooches were about to take a bite out of Stephanopoulos)!

Kittens Love Michelle Obama

Leroy Chihuahua says:

Being a chihuahua, I can’t say I’m overly fond of cats, but come on, even I think this picture is pretty adorable!

Daily Kos user jmknapp’s new kitten seems quite fond of Michelle Obama during her speech at the Democratic Convention last night:
