Got a kick out of this one. So true.

Pet graffiti
The kind of graffiti that shows up unannounced on your garage door or on a park bench is usually also unwarranted (and in the case of Chicago, often gang-related). But when graffiti becomes street art and showcases an urban neighborhood, it becomes chic and inspiring. And when it’s pet-inspired, all the better.

In honor of Veteran’s Day
In honor of Veteran’s Day today, I thought I would share a few videos of some seriously sweet soldier-dog reunions.

A few very special photos
Chicklet’s sweet foster mom is a professional photographer and was kind enough to take a few (read: over 25) photos of the three of us not to long ago in Humboldt Park. We just got the photos back yesterday and they turned out wonderfully. We can’t thank Kelly enough and if you are in the Chicagoland area in need of some sweet photos, she is your person. Thank you Kelly!
Here are a few kind words from her:
Chicklet the Chihuahua was our first foster dog. The wonderful dog rescue, One Tail at a Time, saved 7-year old Chicklet from the Chicago city shelter and brought her to us to foster. She stayed with us for about a month while we waited for someone to adopt her and be her forever home. In the month she was with us, we totally fell in love with Chicklet and the little nugget became part of our family :)
Anyone who has fostered a dog before knows how hard it can be to let them go – especially your first foster dog. The day Chicklet got adopted there was a mixture of emotions – extreme happiness that she was getting a forever home with a very nice couple, but sadness because I thought I would never see her cute little face again. I’m not gonna lie – I cried!
I am so lucky that Chicklet’s family has kept in touch with me so I can see how happy they all are together! And if that wasn’t cool enough, they hired me to take their family photos and I got to have a reunion.
Chicklet really hit the jackpot with her new mom & dad – her mom even has a blog called The Girl and Her Dog And if you’re looking to adopt a dog or become a foster home to a dog in need, One Tail at a Time is an awesome rescue to work with.

Chick votes
Chick exercised her right to vote at Soggy Paws this morning, and although she chose red for “Mutt Romney” we know in our hearts that she’s a “Bark Obama” supporter through and through :)
Cheers to the fine folks at AllRoverTown.com for making voting fun for pups too, and for encouraging everyone, humans and otherwise, that it’s truly a privilege to be able to vote.
