California’s ‘first dog’ Sutter, a Media Sensation

California’s ‘first dog’ gets official Web page (Video)!

Just for fun Tuesday: A few days ago I was writing about my memories of the LA Riots of 1992. Part of that memory is of my Welsh corgi Betty’s death, which coincided with the first day of the riots, April 29, 1992.

I’d heard about Sutter, California Governor Jerry Brown’s Welsh Pembroke Corgi, and I found this story about not only Sutter, but the video the Governor’s office made of the official California “First Dog.”

While some may grumble that the staff made this video while on the taxpayer dime, you won’t find me one of those malcontents! I hope I’d feel the same way if Governor Brown was of that other party, you know, the red, crabby, Neanderthal one. But he isn’t.

It has no caffeine, artificial coloring or flavor.Pure Passion, just released this March, is a sexual enhancer some are calling “buying cialis from canada in a can, no prescription required”. Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage order cheap viagra or a loss of control of the urine. On the other hand, smoking damages pfizer viagra pharmacy your blood vessels that supply blood throughout the body. More than wreaking havoc order generic viagra https://unica-web.com/HONORARY-MEDALS/2014/2014.html on just nerves, your tummy twisting, jaw grinding daily anxiety and stress experience can wreck so much more. I hope I’d get the lift of seeing a cute doggie running around the grounds of the state capitol anyway. Somehow, it makes it all seem less serious, it makes it seem like everything might work out somehow. With Sutter there, things have to be going right — er, correctly, don’t you think?

I get a lot of confidence that this dog would not stick around if he thought anything was going down the tubes. It’s that wisdom in the innocence thing, is it not?

I go back and forth with the idea of getting another dog, corgi or something else, as I haven’t had one for 20 years and you know, that’s a really long time not to have a little pal by my feet as I write. Way past due, I will admit. The reasons for my hesitation have to do with being single and wanting to be able to travel at will, which you really can’t do with a dog. And, last time I boarded a dog, it didn’t go too well (though I don’t blame the vet for what happened).

A friend reminded me the other day what a good thing it is to rescue a dog from the inevitable euthanasia – and there are so many. He’s right. It is a good thing. It may even be closer than I think.

Why I’m Glad to Be in California, Reasons #639 and #640

Villaraigosa and Bike Path construction

GLBT Contributions to be included in Textbooks

Two reasons that I am thrilled to be a resident (and native!) of California.

Recently I saw a cnn.com story about how the Golden State Dream was not so golden anymore. Poppycock!

Case in point, two great things have just happened, both of them evidence that California is progressive, is looking toward a future that is not all about enriching the rich at the expense of everybody else, etc. So I found this heartening.

Story #1: L.A. will increase construction of bike paths and lanes. A great way to add to the existing transport options mix. Sorry, those of you who can only see cars. You will be forced to share the road, to the benefit of all, believe me. You WILL get used to it, too!

Story #2: Notable GLBT figures will have their accomplishments covered in California history books. There really is nothing remarkable about this, as it should be just a no-brainer, but, oddly in 2011, it requires legislation in our culture. I congratulate the California assembly and look forward to Governor Brown’s signature on the law.

And for the asshat legislator from San Bernardino (Tim Donnelly) who was “deeply offended by this because he is a Christian,” I’ll just say as a Californian, I’m deeply offended because of your ignorance and narrow-mindedness. Hopefully, in the next election, your constituents will see you for the pathetic knuckle-dragger that you are and send you home. Where maybe you can read something.

And about that “homosexual agenda” thing. I want to know why, if there is indeed a homosexual agenda, why I have not been invited to any (not one!) agenda-setting meetings in my 50-plus years as a homosexual? (Is it a deodorant issue?)

I’m feeling left out.

Reduced testosterone, improper blood supply to the reproductive organs, stress, depression, illnesses and relationship issues are some of the cases, arthritis patients are highly recommended to come out of sexual weakness naturally. thought about that generic viagra Erectile dysfunction is a common disease among sildenafil tablets uk all the disease happened to the male.
