I can't believe the "Grey Lady" was so seduced by David Koch's donation of $100 million to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for cancer research that it let David Koch tell his side of the story about his drive to impoverish millions of Americans.

The New York Times finally listened to MSNBC and just did a breaking news article about how large corporations have been funding the Chamber of Commerce to lobby Congress and to throw this year's election to the Republicans. More below the fold.

Edward Hicks, a painter who flourished in the first half of the 19th century is almost only known for his painting "Peaceable King." A beautiful painting, it expresses the ideal of all animals and all humanity to live in harmony with one another.

Hicks painted 61 versions of this work. Today, most people recognize this painting and understand what it means.

Here in the Pootie diaries we (mostly) live in harmony with our pet companions. Follow me below the fold for pics of our furry (and otherwise) friends living side by side in ~~somewhat~~ harmony.

We've all laughed at those lolpics of a pootie or a woozle dressed up like Santa Claus or a reindeer or with a wig or other articles of clothing.

The funniest thing, of course is the look on the faces of these poor creaturs. For Woozles, a plea for mercy, asking their human companion to spare them this humiliation.

As for pooties, humilitated by their loss of dignity, most are clearly plotting their companions imminent demise - as soon as they get out of the stupid outfit they're in.

Some exhibitionist pooties think it's good that their ~~peasants~~ human companions recognize how superior they are:

Read below the fold, while I explore the various motives behind this pet dressing fad. Plus, it's a great opportunity to laugh at these poor creatures again!

This is a "reboot" diary. However, I don't see a diary posted, so we can use this one to come together & ponders the joys of friendship, common interest, and of course, complete and total enslavement to our animal companions.

This diary is still relevant, since summer time leads to all sorts of eating hits and misses.

Now, it has been long established, since millenia before Morris the Cat, that the pootie can be a finicky eater. One guide advises pooties, "always refuse to eat from time to time; it keeps the quality of the food up."

Yet for all their notoriety, Pooties are not the only furbutts to experience eating disorders. Human companions can manage to fail their woozles, bunnies, and other animal companions.

Those of us who have not yet escaped the clutches of corporate America have seen various management theories percolate through the workplace. MBO, MBWA, 6 Sigma, the acronyms and catch phrases come and go, leaving workers with tee shirts, hats, and mugs celebrating the latest management fad.

Recently the phrase "Think outside the Box!" has become popular. The idea is to get employees to have "new ideas!" "Look at things a different way!" "Be creative!" Pooties, who find the antics of humans endlessly amusing, have responded to this catch phrase with disdain.

"Think outside the box? Are you kidding? Inside the box is a perfect place to sleep!"

Follow me below the fold as pooties demonstrate in all sorts of amusing ways how satisfying it is to ~~sleep~~ think inside the box.

The turn of the millennium has been a time of change. Now that a decade since Y2K and Bush vs Gore (shudder!!!) has passed, I've interviewed senior pooties and woozles who now look back at what their lives have been like when the millenium was young.

Let's start at the beginning -

Ms. Fluffy -

It all started out years ago when I was just a little gleam in my father's eye. Soon after, my siblings and I were born...

Just like humans, many pets with health issues have problems eating, and serious eating disorders is not a subject for comedy.

However, from the Pootie & Woozle point of view, an eating disorder is the failure of their human companion to deliver the right noms in the right amount in the right place and at the right time.

Yet for all their notoriety, Pooties are not the only furbutts to experience eating disorders. Human companions can manage to fail their woozles, bunnies, and other animal companions.

As you know, I share my life with 5 wonderful pooties (and I'm working on a having a 6th) but I thought it was time for them to tell their side of the story.

For the "real deal" read below the fold.

P.S. In this diary, my pooties use my real name since they don't know me by my 'handle.'

My cats found a small amphibian, brown, about a 1/2 inch long. I'm trying to figure out where I can put it where it belongs to have a chance of living.

Full details below.

Thanks for your quick response. Now I know what the creature is and where to put it so it has a chance of survival.

Ah, Wilderness! So many Woozles respond to the Call of the Wild. Sled dogs running in the Iditarod. Huskies and Malumutes playing the snow. Labs who've never met a body of water they didn't like.

Even small dogs - Jack Russells, terriers, bred to kill rats and trolls (we wish) dig holes with enthusiasm. Plenty of woozles enjoy excavating the backyard.

While there are pooties who love to be outdoors, many respond to the Call of the Wild with a 'Don't call me, I'll call you.'

See below the fold for woozles embracing the outdoors with joy and enthusiasm.

Technology 2 = HB 0

Thanks for posting anyhow. I appreciate the support I'm getting from our pootie/woozle/featherbutt/furbutt community.

One day the actual diary will rise again and at least I'll have one win under my belt.
