Too Many Treats?Everyone knows it-Americans are getting fatter and fatter every year. Obesity is hitting us hard health wise. The rather unfortunate fact of the matter is that Fido and Muffy are getting fat right along with us.  

 I was at my sister's place yesterday and noticed (I tried not to, really) that her dog had gained a few pounds. "She's big-boned," my sister said in defense of her chubby dog. After making a few comments that I shouldn't have made, I realized that she was serious- the vet was concerned about the dog's weight and had encouraged her to get the dog on a diet. Like any good parent, my sister got a little protective of her furry friend. What was she doing wrong? Read more

A refuge for mistreated and abandoned German Shepherd dogs suffered a severe loss following a fire on April 25. The modular home of the rescue’s owner, Grace Konosky, 67, was completely destroyed, and her four personal dogs were injured. One dog, 12-year-old Bailey, died from her injuries in late May.

Spaz, a Chihuahua-daschund from Groveland, west of Orlando, Florida, is the latest in a number of heroic dogs who have gone above and beyond the duty of the normal dog.

Lillian Miller, 58 and Spaz’s owner, had taken her hearing aid out before retiring for the evening on Saturday, June 6. Though her smoke alarm went off, she did not hear it. Lucky for her, Spaz did. Read more

My portraitAccording to Stacey Wolf,  one of the most respected astrologers and pet psychics in the world,  I'm a poodle.   No, I don't mean in a past-life sense, but rather in the way that as a Pisces I love to be close to the people I love, cosy and comfortable in my surroundings, and yes,  pampered.  I have to say that she's right! 

Stacey has come up with a fun doggy equivalent for each star sign,  citing a breed whose temperament and habits best match the traits typically seen in each house of the zodiac.   Her pairings are pretty spot on, and in many cases written with the kind of humor that you will find in any of her writing.  They are a great point of inspiration if you are looking for a fun gift for a dog lover's birthday.  Read more

Dear Diary,

Had a successful interview with Esquire magazine. Got to finally say my piece on a lot of issues, from the VP candidacy with John McCain to the campaign advisors and that whole debacle, and the media’s twisted portrayal of me. Not t mention, I’m sure I won a few hearts over explaining why I hunt and fish (for the good of my family, of course!), and talking about how I came up with the name Bristol. Sure I may have fudged it a bit with the talk about loving ESPN, which is based out of Bristol, CT, but I’m sure people will love reading about how much I love sports. And I had to win over all the musicians with my bit about all the flutes and trombones lying around the house. It’s not exactly true (we only had one of each instrument and we’d rented it), but that’s besides the point. Read more

Dear Diary,

With all this Democratic “change” mumbo-jumbo, I’m considering doing a little change of my own. Of course, I’ll have to come up with a new word so it doesn’t sound like I’m just copying those liberal. Maybe reorganization? Sounds pretty elitist, but I’ll come up with something.

Anyway, after googling myself as I often like to do, I found a blog criticizing an op-ed I sent to the Minneapolis Star Tribune to urge people to start oil drilling in Alaska. Of course this guy wanted to know why I didn’t publish it in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal. It’s ‘cause I’m not about to bend over backwards for these liberal newspapers that I don’t even care to read anyway! Give me Cosmo or US Magazine any day, which I've now started reading since that awful Katie Couric interview. Anyway, I’m not blaming my political advisors. Their job is to… is to advise me. And they’re doing a pretty good job. But I did like the way those SarahPAC people think. Read more

Dear Diary,

Am outraged at this Ashley Judd for all this negative publicity she’s creating around me. Who does she think she is with this youtube video? Everyone knows that we need to be able to kill wolves, elk, and other wild animals from helicopters. Well, at least everyone from the best state in the union knows this! Plus, they can’t judge us until they’ve tried it. And I guarantee, if Ashley Judd and all her cronies with the Defenders Action Fund get in a helicopter with a gun, they’ll be shooting those elk before you know it.

Leave it to those liberal-elite Hollywood celebrities to stir up some ruckus. “Scientists” say there’s no scientific evidence for us controlling the population this way. But I know in my heart and in my gut that this is right. And it doesn’t need scientific evidence. Read more

Dear Diary,

I’ve finally got the media attention on this new website called “SarahPAC.” It’s this great new website that once again puts me on the forefront of national television, AND (more importantly) begins the serious talk about my 2012 campaign for presidency. Of course, I didn’t come up with the idea, and didn’t formally authorize it either. And the organization is based in Arlington, VA – something I hope no one picks up on it…

Anyway, my favorite part of the website is the picture of the United States, and it has Alaska on the inside. Once president, I’ll have to look into a way to see if we can get another state to be shaped like Alaska….

Love yah!
Sarah

Dear Diary,

Am feeling fully rested after a long overdue 14 hour sleep. Ya know, a lot of people ask me how I stay looking so young and beautiful. Well, first I have to thank the Lord for my good looks. Then I just tell ‘em that I sleep away my wrinkles and age lines. Just a good 12 to 14 hours of sleep is all anyone needs to look their best, that’s what I always say.

Speaking of looking my best, I heard that I was mentioned in a question at the Miss America pageant last Saturday. But they got my pageant wrong! Everybody knows that I was Miss Wasilla, but they actually thought I was part of the Miss America beauty pageant? I’ll admit I’m honored that people assumed I came so far. And as proud as I am to have been Miss Wasilla, I’m certainly not going to refute those stories. They’re just good press! Read more

Dear Diary,

Outraged at recent liberal elite blog reports that I allegedly stuffed all my campaign clothes into plastic bags at the Republican National Convention headquarters in Washington, D.C. I would never do that! Who in their right mind would waste all those beautiful clothes by just putting them in trash bags to sit around unworn. Besides, I certainly wouldn’t be saving them for me. I plan to get a whole new wardrobe when it comes time to campaign for my presidency.

I  still can’t even believe the double-standard. All those Democrat cronies were allowed to spend Democrat dollars to buy their clothes. I should have been allowed to as well! I did make a speech talking about how the clothes weren’t mine and that they would get returned. Read more
