We have two miniature schnauzers. One is named “Becky Jo”, after my wife’s sister. Becky Jo is now eight years old. She is at that delightful age where she can be trusted to remain home alone without risk of finding unwanted surprises when we come home. She only chews on her toys and like most dogs, spends most of her time sleeping.

When we first moved to Florida in 2022, I learned that Becky Jo is a Republican. Every night I take Becky Jo for her “poop walk.” She delivers the goods and I pick up the hazardous waste output. She is very predictable and always pooped in the same yard. But one night, that changed. She held her output for an additional two yards, then went and pooped under a Charlie Crist for Governor sign. I laughed and considered the options.  Should I leave it there, or should I do the Christian thing and clean it up. Then I waivered between taking a picture, but decided to just remove the evidence.

The next night, Becky Jo walked a little farther before depositing her output under a Val Demings for Senate sign. This time I had trouble controlling the laughter, but cleaned it up as any responsible Republican often assigned the task of cleaning up after Democrats.

When Becky Jo got home, my wife and I praised her for her astute political awareness and gave her an extra treat. I am not sure she understood exactly what was happening, but she was definitely pleased with the reward.

Now we have another miniature Schnauzer who is named “Allie”, short for “Alligator Bait”. We bought her after spotting a “Miniature Schnauzer for Sale” sign. She is definitely a real Miniature Schnauzer, but unlike most other Schnauzers she has a tail. I suspect the previous owner was unwilling to pay to have her tail bobbed. We actually like her tail and her other nickname is “Swat” for “Schnauzer with a tail.”  She is very spirited and stubborn. It took considerable effort to train her to deposit her hazardous waste outdoors. She absolutely cannot be trusted alone, as she will chew on anything and everything. She is extremely cute and a lot of fun. But I recently learned, sadly, that she may be a Democrat. It took me some time to figure this out. When I take Allie out to deposit either the wet stuff or the fertilizer, she usually does this in our front yard. Then she obediently deposits the more serious disposal in the side yard. But recently, she does something else. Shortly after she makes her deposit, she moves several feet away and then claws with her hind feet in a feeble attempt to cover up her output. This of course never accomplishes anything. Like a good daddy, I am responsible to perform the required hazardous waste removal required.

Now, I can no longer ignore the sad reality. My dog is a Democrat. Her primary mission in life, when outdoors, is to deposit stinky fluid and hazardous waste all over the place depending on me, the Republican Dad, to perform the cleanup.

I recently watched Kamala Harris give what she probably thought was an uplifting message following her humiliating defeat last month. She looked awful and sounded drunk. The next day she gave her Thanksgiving message, wearing the same outfit. Meanwhile Democrat fat cat donors are furious at how she managed to spend over $1.5 billion of their dollars to accomplish less than nothing. The MSM networks who lied to the American people about Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for years have been exposed. The only people who still watch are getting increasingly angry if these people even attempt to report truthfully.

Yup. It’s official. Allie is a Democrat. But she is just a puppy, barely a year old. She will mature with age. Hopefully at some point, she may even be trusted to be alone. In the meantime, she is fun to watch and like other Democrats, we have learned to cleanup after her deposits.
