Dirt McGirt Will Campaign for Obama this Weekend
Following up on my last post begging for someone to watch my dog this weekend, I have some good news to report. My friend Courtney is bringing Dirt McGirt up to the Keystone State to campaign for Obama!
I wish I could help GOTV for Obama this weekend, but I’m glad I can live vicariously through my dog. I’m confident her cuteness will win over a few voters, bitter or not. Even better, I’m sure she’ll lick the bitter off voters if need be.
Pictures and more to come, I hope. Thank you Courtney (and Kevin and Catherine)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Want to Watch Dirt McGirt this Weekend?
Hey! I’m trying to go to NYC for the weekend but need someone to watch Dirt McGirt from Friday evening until Sunday morning. You would need to walk and feed her Friday evening, ideally twice but that’s not mandatory. Saturday, she’d need to go out for a walk in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and then once Sunday morning. Alternatively, you can host her at your house if you’re really down for dog-watching! (Especially good for anyone wondering about the wonders of dog ownership.)
She’s really great, but kind of a handful. It’d be a huge favor if you could watch her. If you’re on the fence, let’s talk about any type of compensation – cash, tequila, really anything – to push you over the fence and into the arms of Dirt McGirt, anxiously awaiting you to play with her. No, really, she’s pretty anxious about it.
Let me know – email me, IM me, comment, whatever.
Thank you!
Dirt McGirt the Monorail Dog
In case you ever thought about owning a dog, please watch this video. This is what every moment spent at home is like. I love this dog, but man. She really likes to play.

New series: "What Did Dirt Destroy?" (WDDD)
I’m proud to announce a new series here at MichaelWhitney.net: What did Dirt Destroy? So far this week, she’s eaten a bag of brown sugar, dumped out the kitchen garbage can to rifle through it, and she’s torn apart a newspaper.
Yesterday’s casulaty: my BlackBerry charger. I plan to take photos of her destruction, but for this first entry in the series, you are out of luck. My phone is dead and she killed my charger.
I love my dog!
Allow Myself to Introduce Dirt McGirt
About 5 or 6 weeks ago, I got a puppy for my birthday. (Lisa gave her to me!) Her name is Dirt McGirt. At the shelter, she was called “Godiva” and was listed as a chocolate lab mix. She was mostly brown, but had a second, yellow coat that molted off as we pet her and brushed her.
I got a lot of suggestions from people who met Dirt about her other half, especially other dog owners on walks or in the dog park. Some said she was part pointer, others said some sort of hound. The trend was definitely towards hunting dog. But last week, the vet said she was most probably a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, a dog originally bred for retrieving ducks and other game.
