Carnival Of The Dogs

There's a whole lot of dog-blogging going on every week over at Mickey's.
Odds are I'd rather look at a pic of your dog than read your take on the Plame affair. I'm pretty sure about that.

Speaking of which, here's a repost of humans, dogs, and disasters from this time last year:

A timely move:

Ali Rowand,45, and her pet toy poodle Bunny Sue, look over the devastated remains Saturday afternoon of the Harbor Inn in Port Charlotte where they had a room. Rowand, her husband Gary,and Bunny Sue, left the hotel as the storm intensified and moved inland to survive its impact. They returned Saturday morning to find the room demolished. "We're just happy to be alive," said Rowand.


A good Samaritan:

Sherry Kicklighter holds her dog Skittles after being blocked from staying at a hurricane shelter in Port Charlotte. Her home and car were destroyed in the Maple Leaf Golf and Country Club in Port Charlotte following hurricane Charley. Kicklighter and her dog were offered alternate housing by a person who noticed her situation.


A hard job:
