Ahem, based on you pic, the dog sounds an awful lot like an Øbama supporter.
Sorry.
Still I love my cainine and feline critters. Well, except when the canine sticks his cold wet nose in my face at 3am to ask out cause he spent too much time on coon watch before bed to bother with bodily functions. But then again, he is rather volcal about strangers passing by his house without permission. So I cut him some slack on the 3 am stuff.
As for the feline, I must say the the yard and garden is free, or at least sparse of moles, voles, mice and chipmunks. Just wish my little hunter didn’t feel the need to leave the remnants at the back door.
