another night out for a downtown strike dog

I haven't been blogging much because I've been so tired lately. In addition to my twice-daily walks around downtown Los Angeles, in solidarity with the WGA strike, I've been walking the picket line at Universal Studios with the woman who takes care of me. I don't go as often as she does, mostly because she gets up at 4:30AM(!!!!) to walk the 6AM shift. But they gave me a t-shirt to wear. It's a little large, but I'm hoping the woman who takes care of me will make it work.

Although I was slacking on my blogging, I must be doing something right. Maria from Franklin Avenue mentioned my blog on her Thursday Three Downtown Edition, writing that I was probably the most handsome dog she's ever seen and obviously very smart. Or something very much like that. Details.

I did manage to make it out to the December Downtown Dog Walk last night. Had such a great time. We walked from Pershing Square to the Nokia Theater in South Park. I wasn't tired at all! Ruby and Joe came out, so did Isis and Eric, and of course Dodger, Aggie, and Ken. I made some new friends, got to know others better (hi Zilla!), and explored a new neighborhood. I think these dog walks are getting better and better all the time. I can hardly wait for next month's dogwalk!

I'll be out on the town again tonight. We don't picket tomorrow, so I will be enjoying myself at the monthly Yappy Hour at The LoftyDog tonight. It coincides with the monthly Downtown Artwalk, which is very cool. Tonight is extra special since The LoftyDog is also having a Holiday Paw-ty and we're picking up copies of my pictures with Santa Claus. Santa will be there again tonight for those who didn't get to see Santa last week. Since I've already posed for pictures, I'm going to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what I want for Christmas. Ever since I found out they don't like it when I chew up their slippers, I've been really good. Now I only chew on shoelaces.

(BTW, they don't think I know this, but the guy in the Santa suit isn't really Santa. I got up close and smelled him really good and licked him a few times to make sure, but and I knew right away who it really was.)
