Congratulations to Moose on a great ta...Hey, Roxie! Congratulations to Moose on a great talk at the Univ-of, today! My human couldn't make it but we listened to it on podcast. I was shocked to learn that "Moose" was short for "Moose-alini." I wouldn't dream of suggesting how you should run your household, Roxie, but just a quick comment on that: personally, I permit no such dictatorial behavior from my humans, and I encourage you, as a terrier (of all breeds!) to deflate what seem to be delusions of grandeur on the part of your amanuensis. Just a suggestion. You really have to watch them, or they start thinking they run the place.<BR/><BR/>My own human (who can have a nickname other than "Dudley's human" when I say she can) spent a while on the phone tonight talking to an elderly aunt who recently moved to Iowa and attended her first caucus (and, she assures us, her last--well, next caucus, she'll be pushing 90). Said aunt spent most of my human's youth trying to enforce conservative Christian rules about women not having positions of authority. (My human got into trouble with that aunt for not wearing a head covering in church a few times. Seems head coverings show submission to the male of the species. [Humans! Catch dogs doing anything so stupid, I don't think!]) <BR/><BR/>Well, my human, remembering her experiences with the auntly temper in days of yore, asked timidly, "And who did you caucus for?" <BR/>"Hillary, of course!" the aunt said proudly. <BR/>"Um, Aunt, didn't you used to say that God said women shouldn't be in positions of authority over men?"<BR/>"Well, the presidency isn't the church. And when you're as smart as Hillary, what's the problem? She can handle it!"<BR/>So my human is sitting here trying to fit THAT image of her aunt--the one caucusing fiercely for a woman in the White House--into her head.<BR/><BR/>And we here at the House of Beagle thought you would enjoy knowing that there are shock troops of Feisty Elderly Ladies going out there for Hillary. (We have no doubt that Uncle caucused for Hillary, too. We know Aunt, and he wouldn't dare do otherwise!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
