Bark the Vote

Bark the Vote came to Crown Point recently to help raise money for the Lake County Animal Shelter and try to "take a bite out" of voter apathy. Bark the Vote's spokesdogs are two small yorkies, Schmitty and Pudge. They are cute, not as cute as my Yorkie named Miya, but still cute nevertheless.

Wow! I'm on the BARK THE VOTE tour. I just left Santa Fe on my way to Flagstaff, AZ and was "sniffing " around my computer and found your fab article. It's the first time Pudge & I saw these pics. Where did you get them?

A big Arf-Arf to Miya!

Arf-Arf,
Schmitty, The Real New Yorkie
