Friday Morning


Hello Everyone - yes, I'm still here in my little paddock. There has been a lot of hullaballoo in the human world lately, especially about the recent political election. I don't meddle in human affairs myself, and even if I did, they never let me vote. And all of you politically-opinionated animals out there: they won't let you vote, either, so give it up. It is true, I suppose, we can exert some influence over our humans at the polls, but I sort of gave that up after Goldwater. I guess I'm just so disappointed that Tosca did not win the election - even though we all knew where to write-in "Doggone Party!"

As a pleasant diversion, I am having a special event on my blog: The First Annual Gilbert and Sullivan Gala Photo Contest! Send a photo of yourself in your favourite Gilbert and Sullivan opera character costume (any way your human can dress you in it, even if it is photoshopped) to mighty_munk at yahoo dot com dot au by 10 December and winners will be posted before Christmas holidays begin - there will be lots of categories, too, and an extra-special photo gallery. The judges will consist of a panel of non-blogging animal lovers- their photos to be posted.



As I did not tolerate my human dressing me up, he he, she gave up and photoshopped this promotional photo of me as Nanki-poo from The Mikado. I the event of there not being any interest across blogland, my human and I will instead gorge ourselves on ice cream and pass out on the beach - mmmm, not bad, either. Pardon me, though, friends, I must go and hide, or play dead or something - I have heard the word B-A-T-H...

We'll have to think about a photoshopped pictured, because we sure aren't going to let the girl dress us up!!! We hate dressing up even more than baths...and we hate baths!

Hi Charlie, it is so good to see you. We are sorry Tosca didn't win, we are sure the world would be a much better place if us cats and dogs were in charge of running it.

Goldwater? We didn't think you were old enough to remember Goldwater. We tend to stay out of paw-la-tics to. Other than voting for Tosca. We figured Essex would have made an excellent Secretary of Da-Fence.
