Presidential Snuzz

anders — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 17:58:09 +0000

I have to admit that I don’t really know what one is supposed to do on President’s Day. I think we are supposed to be looking at pictures of presidential dogs, cats and pygmie hippos. So here ya go:

Socks, the Clinton cat

Barney, the Bush dog

Buddy, the Clinton Lab

Millie, the Bush Springer Spaniel

Misty Malarky Ying Yang, the Carter Siamese

Rex, the Reagan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Checkers, the Nixon dog, final resting place

Liberty, the Ford Golden Retriever

Fala, FDR’s Scottish Terrier

A likely descendant of Billy, Coolidge’s Pygmy Hippo

Send Snuzzy Your Santa Pet Pix!

I think that this one is totally PAWESOME because all ten of the animals in this shot are looking (more or less) forward and at the camera. My guess, though, is that this was not the only shot that these Corgis posed for that day. ;-)

If you have had one or more of your pets pose with Santa, send your best shot in to snuzzy(AT)dogster.com! Dogs, cats, birds, iguanas, whatever.

I will do my best on Christmas Day to post EVERY picture that comes in to me. (Gulp.)

The Scroogey submission guidelines are:

1. Re-size your image for me (no wider than 600 pixels, please)
2. Your pet(s) must be posing with a real, live Santa. No Santa cut-outs, no pets in Santa outfits… unless a REAL, LIVE Santa is in the shot as well.
3. Picture does not need to be current. Have one from 20 years ago? Send it in.
4. Only one image per household
5. Deadline is 12:00 midnight, December 23 (Yep! That’s tomorrow night!)

Aight pawty people, let’s see what kind of a collection we can get together!

Hanukkah Kat

Hanukkah began at sunset last night! Yay Hanukkah!

I think this guy has jumped the gun with his candle-lighting, but he is, after all, a cat. And we all know that cats are known for being cute, but not for their religious accuracy. So I’m going to cut the little guy some slack.

Daisy the Curly Cat Gets Snuzzy for Veterans Day

anders — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:00:54 +0000

Today is Veterans Day, and I’m honored to hand it over to my cute little furry friend Daisy the Curly Cat, who has a great Veterans Day outfit on, along with a nice piece about this special day over on her blog.

I am wearing my most patriotic outfit, because today is a special holiday where we honor all of our military veterans. Here are some things I learned about this day:

It was in 1938 that Armistice Day was enacted as an official American holiday. But eventually after WWII, citizens felt that the veterans of all wars should be recognized, not just those of WWI. So in 1954 Congress changed the name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. In America, the holiday now celebrates the approximate 2.9 million U.S. veterans with parades and ceremonies among other events.

Thanks for the great info, Daisy, and for the beeyootiful pictures!
