After so many snow storms have missed my area, we finally got about an inch of snow. It isn't much, but a dog takes what he can get. Meanwhile, the govt. has been shut down for a couple of days due to the bad weather. I haven't been able to discuss this turn of events with Bo Obama, but I do think that this is a conspiracy among the birds to steal snow from areas like mine so that they can drop all of it on the capital and paralyze the govt. and who knows what they are planning once the govt. has shut down? I would not be one bit suprised if that weapon welding eagle who hangs out at the White House is the ring leader of this new snow attack on DC. Bo Obama has been trying to get the humans to pay attention to the eagle, but you know how the humans are--they just walk around like nothing is wrong. I hate to have to report this, but eagles are protected--or at least they used to be. If a dog catches and kills an eagle, the dog is in trouble. It sounds kind of silly to me. What if a bear wants to have an eagle for dinner, does the FBI come and arrest the bear and put him in prison for killing the national bird. Why do we have a national bird anyway? I know no dog liked that idea. Why not a national dog instead? What were those founding fathers thinking when they decided to have a national bird. Shouldn't a national bird be a bird on the national menu like the turkey at Thanksgiving (officially called Turkey Killing Day)? You can see that this whole national bird situation creates a lot of problems not only for us dogs for for other animals like bears (if they even eat birds--I have never actually asked a bear what he likes to eat).
While I"m on the subject of bears, I should bring up some famous bears. I do know that Yogi Bear liked to eat pic-a-nic baskets. Of course, I never met him in person, but he used to have a nature show on tv. He also like to annoy the Ranger, but we aren't discussing bear hobbies now, but what bears like to eat. Yogi is a very famous bear because he used to play sports too--I know it was the same bear because his name was Yogi BEARa. I'm not sure what sport it was because no one around here bothers with sports, but I have heard of him. Maybe he took part in marathon hibernation--that is a sport, isn't it? Bears have been part of our culture for many years. There was a bear who was President at one time in history--his name was Teddy, and all of us know that bears are named Teddy and this one even had a last name which was Roosevelt. His relative who later became President too was related on the human side of the family because his name was just too silly to be a bear's name. Another famous bear was that honey loving bear named Winnie T. Pooh. The T. stands for The--or at least that is what is should stand for since his name is Winnie The Pooh. Winnie was a nice bear who liked to hang out with his pals and eat honey. He was a bear who thought more like a dog if you ask my opinion. There used to be a tv show on years ago called BJ and the Bear, but it has a misleading title because Bear was actually a chimpanzee--yeah talk about an identity crisis--that monkey was in therapy for years after that show--years! Some bears are very nice and they love everyone--they are called Care Bears. Smokey the Bear used to teach kids to avoid forest fires. After you cook the bird you plan to eat for dinner, be sure the fire is out--that was his motto--"only you can prevent forest fires after you cook your bird for dinner".
However, I digest or digress or I would like to digest a bird. Yeah, that sounds right to me. The important thing to remember about this entry is that birds are evil, they are trying to take over the govt. while it is shut down, and they shouldn't be allowed to eat eggs for breakfast because, if they do, they are being cannibals-not that I really care what the birds eat for breakfast as long as it isn't Burger King. If you live in the area around the capital, keep a watch out for birds and if you see one, shoot it or whatever needs to be done--just get rid of it and you will be a hero.

Since my announcement of the Dogsie Award Nominees yesterday, I have decided that my diary entry could occasionally include a brief recap of some of the movies that have nominees up for Dogsies for those dogs who haven't yet seen them. My reviews might even help you decide if they are worth seeing. I will start with one Mommy really enjoyed which is Public Enemies.
Public Enemies. This movie starred Johnny Depp as John Dillenger. Johnny Depp is a very talented and versatile actor, and he, as usual, did an excellent job in this movie, but I suspect many of the ladies would go and see that movie just to see him in it. I have to admit, he is handsome for a human, but I will tell you that he is no Demon Flash Bandit, but what human can hope to be as handsome as me? After all, they aren't dogs!
Anyway, this is the "true" story of John Dillenger who was a real life bank robber. Dillenger lived during the 1930's, a time known as the Depression. Although he was a criminal, many of the people in that era liked him because he had the Robin Hood persona. Banks weren't exactly the most popular institutions at that time anyway. Because of him and others like him, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was formed. My first idea was that this movie would have been more entertaining had they shown J. Edgar Hoover in a dress, but after seeing a photo of the guy, I think it was better they didn't go that route---let's just say that he was no Johnny Depp. If that guy did wear a dress, I feel sorry for the humans who had to see him in it. Anyway, it was a very good movie, and this dog would have considered playing the lead role if Johnny Depp had been unavailable.
I hope that this has helped, and I will be reviewing other movies that are up for any type of Dogsie nomination----unless I didn't like the movie enough to watch it. We dogs have our standards. The humans might sit there and watch anything, but not us dogs!
For the big announcement that all my pals have been waiting for---the nominees for the Dogsie Awards for 2009 have been announced. For those of you who want to vote for your favorite movies and tv shows, join The Official Dogsie Awards Group and cast your votes. Dogs and cats are welcome to join and you can bark or meow your opinions. There are even a couple of new categories this year--like best vehicle to stick your head out of. James Woods, if you are reading this, you weren't nominated this year, but keep trying. I'm sure eventually you might have a coveted Dogsie award in your future. (This is in reference to a dream Mommy had last year about him being upset that he wasn't nominated for a 2008 Dogsie for those of you who missed some past diary entries.)
On the subject of entertainment, how many dogs have played the new DOG-O-TRON game Dogster has so kindly added to their game page. I think even dogs like me who like cats can still get a kick out of shooting at them in their little cat spaceships. If you haven't played it yet, be sure and give it a try. It is important to be prepared in case some cats from outer space come here and try to annoy us dogs.
For those of you who live in areas that got all the snow, quit bragging about it already. I'm getting tired of the snow missing my area--and my humans are so happy about it which just adds insult to injury.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
