Watson here and I want you to know that my family is over political commercials! That said, I’ve decided to take a stand on politics and run for elective office. I pledge not to interrupt your TV programs with my political ads.
Sept. 30 is dogs in politics day and here’s what I have to offer. I have many assets! I’m dependable, faithful, curious, and energetic. I like people and I promise a chocolate kiss for everyone. That kiss comes from me, your favorite chocolate.
One very popular dog already involved in politics is Maximus (Max) Mighty-Dog Mueller II who is the mayor of Idyllwild, California. Idyllwild, an unincorporated city, is officially run by its county. Max II actually has no real political power, but he is the symbol of his town.
How did a dog become the mayor? Max I the first dog mayor was elected in a fundraiser for an animal rescue. When Max I crossed the rainbow bridge, the town nominated Max II to a lifetime appointment. He was unanimously endorsed by the town.
What does the mayor wear to work? Max works mostly in the nude, although he occasionally wears a tie or hat. No one seems to mind that Max is “ala natural,” in fact; stroking his beautiful hair is a civic duty. Max spends every day engaging with his constituents spreading his own brand of love, which is hugs and kisses.
The Constitution doesn’t ban dogs from running, but candidates must be at least 35 years old. Hopefully that includes dog years. There are several animals who have assumed public office in the U.S., including Duke the dog, Stubbs the cat, Lucy Lou the dog, and Pa Kettle a bloodhound. I’m counting on all my faithful readers to vote for me in the “dog gone” election. Who will be the best? Well that’s elementary, my dear, Watson of course.
XOXO Watson
