Zoey and Zedo at 7

My furbabies, Zoey (on the left) and Zedo turned 7 this year but you wouldn't know it to look at them. Zoey (Mini-Me) is a Wheaten Terrier/Schnauzer mix that came from a shelter in Southeastern Illinois. Zedo is a Wheaten Terrier/Schnauzer/? mix that came from a foster home in Fort Worth, Texas. They couldn't love each other more and really know how to have a good time.

Two Favorite Guys

While at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, I ran into two of my favorite guys. Craig Crawford of CQ Politics was outside the Pepsi Center on Wednesday night so I had to stop for a chat and a picture. Craig's blog is one of my favorites because he is so fair and balanced in his writing. Did we color coordinate our outfits or what?

Wes Clark was appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday morning next door to my hotel so I stayed up all night to get there for the 4 a.m. broadcast. I was glad the restaurant was next door but I would have found a way to get to the broadcast no matter where it was. It was worth staying up all night just to see the look on his face when he walked into the restaurant and saw me. Also pictured is a long-time Clarkie from the Denver area, Stan. Stan and I were emailing while I was at Invesco on Thursday night so he decided to show up for the broadcast.

I love a Good Parade

I spend most of the Summer doing parades for Congressman Boswell. My main job is to walk (or jog) along with the truck carrying the Congressman and throw candy to the kids. Sometimes I ride my trike in the parades. It is very popular with preteen boys. The Labor Day parade is one of my favorites because it starts at the Capitol Building and ends at the Fairgrounds. When we get to the fairgrounds there are booths from various unions and Democratic groups, as well as hot dogs, hamburgers, and drinks. Here are a few more pictures from the parade:
