Barkleigh the stray cat who has adopted us, and Bling have been campaiging around our neighborhood and decided after going to only 5 houses that they are better qualified than either of the candidates on the ticket this election year!
Barkleigh promises a mouse in every garage while his running mate Bling Bling the panda has aspirations of a bamboo shoot in every citizens back yard. Blings plan gives new meaning to “SPREADING THE WEALTH”, and if you have ever seen how invasive bamboo is Blings plan just might flyl!!!!!
Hot topics on their agenda for the next 5 days include “CATATONIC MEDIA FRENZY”;,”HISSY FITS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL“, “CATTY REMARKS” and, WE NEED TO CHANGE…the kitty litter”
No matter what your political persuassion..No matter who you are rooting for…..just get out there and vote my friends. This is one of the most important things you will do, maybe in your lifetime. It’s become so important to yours truly that I am voting for the very first time at age 50. I’m only telling you all this to hopefully inspire a few teetering on the fence to go to the polls with me.
Its embarassing I have to admit….I should have voted many times before but have never spent the time actually learning about what I was voting for in the past….I didnt’ feel qualified to make an educated decision..major confusion as it is this year as well..lol!. I know many others that have done the same and it’s not a good excuse anymore.
So until Tuesday arrives (and maybe even then..lol) I vote for Barkleigh and Bling..woo hoo!!! Anyone who votes for my kitty and panda here in the comments between now and election day will qualify for a beautiful fused glass pendant drawing which will take place at Midnight November 4th!!!!
Big hugs to everyone. Personally I can’t wait till this crazy election is over. It’s just dragged on too long hasn’t it?
On a different note……….heres a taste of some new goodies to come tomorrow!!
I’m proud to cast my vote for Barkleigh and Bling 2008!The kitty is SO cute Sandy! I want another one, but Chris won’t let me.. we’re holding out for that corgi puppy….
Hey Sandy!I totally agree with you about this election. So I vote for Barkleigh and Bling Bling.Yvette
Hey Sarah I saw you on AIM today and when I went to say HI you were gone…I think of you so often girlfriend!!!
Barkleigh and Bling thank you sooooooo much!!!! I know, I want a kitty so much. This cat has a collar and name tag and we even found the owners but they want a feral cat and not a house cat. Their loss is our gain. I carry this kitty all over the place.
The only bad thing is he is not afraid of my dogs on the other side of the fence. I really worry about him getting too brave!!!! You will be so glad you waited for that Corgi!! Need updates on pix of that baby
Barkleigh reminds me so much of some of my Maine Coons. Lucky you to have a cat. Give him a big hug from me.. and Bling too. They have my vote anyday!
Woo Hoo Yvette!!! Wow…great to see you here too!!!! B and B are so pumped!!!! If they get all these early ballots cast for them then the other candidates won’t have a chance!!
If anyone would vote for a kitty it would be Claudia!!!! Barkleigh is a big cat that’s for sure and the nice coat and loooooooooong tail. He is very Maine Coon like I think…and smart as a whip!!! Thanks for the vote Claudia!!! Are you getting ready for your trip ??
I vote for you, the cat and bling bling!
LOL!! Janette yippie!!! Thanks for the vote darlin!!!! I haven’t talked to you in many moons either. Hope all is well my friend!!!!
I like this! No voter registration card, no lines, and I can do it online! Barkleigh and Bling, you have my vote! If animals still ruled the earth, it would be a much healthier planet.
Hey Kris!!! The B and B team thank you for your vote!!!! Tell Ivy and Sienna they need to do some door to door soliciting for Barkleigh too.
Maybe if they wear sandwich boards that say “Joe the Plumber loves Cats”..hee hee
Give those ladies a hug for me!!
I think a little B and B is just what the doctor ordered to get us through the home stretch of this election.
I knew that in a country of more than 200 million people someone would finally come up with a winning ticket…my vote is for Bling and Barkleigh…all the way!
Here’s to them taking over the white house!! I am proud to say I was a registered voter at 16 (you can register early as long as your going to be 18 by the next presidential election), and have voted on every ballot. We mailed in our early ballots last Friday & are waiting with baited breath hoping that our guy wins!!
Hi Sandra,You couldn’t have chosen a better ticket for me (being both a cat lover and a panda lover!). Besides, my two wonderful cats would never forgive me if I didn’t vote for Barkleigh and Bling Bling (especially my black cat!). Perhaps if animals ran the country we’d all be better off!!! B & B have quite a gorgeous campaign poster too…they have my vote for sure! Lois 🙂
HELLO Barbara Amiee and Lois!!! B and B thank you sooooooooooo beary much for your votes!!!! You are purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect citizens of Planet Earth!!!!!!!!
Have an awesome nite girls and watch for the drawing on Tuesday!!!!!
Bigggggggg hugs
Well Barkleigh and Bling got my vote, I was in real turmoil until this option was made available. I have no doubt they could do it, my cat seems to run my household very well…along with the 3 dogs! The cat is always the ringleader here!
Hey Vonnie!! Thanks for the vote!!! I do believe we have enough cats and dogs among the membership of this blog that we should be able to overthrow Congress.
This new “Dog-gress” will have a new Cat-stitution too. It will be GRRRRRRRREAT!!!!
Barkleigh & Bling Bling have my vote!!! If I could vote a hundred times I would vote the same way! What a hoot–Barkleigh looks so much like our clinic cat ‘Sammy’ who is 13 1/2 yrs old. Bling looks great too.
For sure I vote, along with my five cats, for Barkleigh and Bling Bling. Very easy choices for us as the other candidates just don’t do it for us. Glad to see you enjoying yourself. All my blessings dear, take care.Nancy and her five furbabies
I am delighted to vote for Barkleigh and Bling…they sound like committed candidates who are extremely in touch with the middle class green earth issues and neither one has mentioned Joe the plumber!Love
I’ve voted every election since I was 18! I love the cat! Our neighbor’s cat adopted us one time, it NEVER went home. It slapped at the dogs a few times and they were afraid of it! I ended up finding a home for it on a farm and the neighbor never even missed her. She was such a nice cat, she deserved better and I gave it to her!
Hi Diana , Nancy, Love and Cathy!!! I have the best friends in the world!!! B and B thank you from the bottom of their paws for the votes!!!! Yes, Love, Bling is especially “green” in her thinking. She even has a grass stain on her butt to prove it!! I can’t even shampoo it out..lol!
I have waited til i have seen it all….and this is by far the best team running!!!! Chloe (cat) and Jett and Joey (chows) are waving banners and may wear sandwich boards near the polls tomorrow (even risking being arrested) just to get the word out on “Barkleigh and Bling…Peace and Love is their Thing!!!!”
Wouldn’t the World be just purrrfect if Barkleigh and Bling got elected? Instead some will really be Catatonic in disbelief by this time tommorrow, and Pandamonium may even take place. Who knows, I am anxious to see who will be Our next President and keep my fingers croessed that he can do the job well and in all of Our best interests. At any rate, in time we will see who was just barking up our tree to get into office.
Barkleigh & Bling 2008!!! All the way!!!
Yes, yes, yes! I and my seven cats and one humongous dog cast our votes for Barkleigh and Bling! Finally a team that we can count on!
I’m in a real voting frenzy today – so I cast my vote for Barkleigh (meeeow!) & Bling (always loved bears)!What a great ticket, meows & growls!!!!Congrats, Sandra for voting for the first time & sharing your story!SueG
I’m voting for Barkleigh and Bling. Our household is very divided, the cats think this is a great ticket. The dogs can’t believe I’m voting for a cat.
Thank you all so much for stopping in to vote and sorry it took me so long to post the winner of the pendant drawing. My blog admin locked up for a good part of the day so I had to wait it out until it decided to behave.
