My Talking Dog

My dog Riley has a blog now. You might be asking, "How's that?" Turns out that dogs are a lot more like people than we ever knew. Cats too, I understand. They are miniature versions of people, with all the same sophisticated thoughts and feelings that people have, only cuter. These pets opine about current events, celebrity lifestyles, fashion, public policy, you name it.

They want to dress up in fancy costumes and act out scenes from famous movies and plays, they just lack the dexterity to do this for themselves. Some pet owners are savvy and sympathetic enough to understand this fact and oblige, to the great satisfaction of both pet and owner.

Come to think of it, Riley and I have spent many an evening on the back porch in intense conversation. I usually struggle to keep up while Riley expounds the principles of economics and economic policy to me. She understands well the application of sophisticated theory to practical political problems. I have considered granting her permission to guest write posts on my blog from time to time. My only fear is that she will be overzealous at the opportunity to reach a wider audience (she is pretty conservative, almost libertarian) and will come across heavy handed. Still, I may grant her wish anyway. She has so much wisdom to offer.
