This weekend, the Charleston Daily Mail article about my blog was picked up by the Associated Press statewide. The full story or excerpts appeared on television and newspaper websites such as WSAZ-TV in Charleston, WVVA-TV, Bluefield-Beckley, The Times West Virginian in Fairmont, and (pictured left) in print in the Morgantown Dominion Post. One commenter told me they also saw it online at The Herald-Dispatch, Huntington (though I haven’t been able to track down a story link). The article may have appeared in other places that I don’t know about. If you’re visiting here because you saw the story somewhere I haven’t mentioned, please drop me a comment and let me know!
Reaction on the farm was mixed.
Clover: “I will require a makeup artist and a personal stylist for future milkings. Got that?”
Dookie: “Oh, goody, more attention for the Giant Puppy.”
Coco: “Today, I am announcing my write-in candidacy for President of the United States. I promise a Snausage in every pot, a mud puddle in every backyard, and a slobbery kiss for every voter. My first bill sent to Congress will propose two Saturdays in every week and three Sundays. The other two days will be optional vacation. I love you, man.”
While continuing to work on her full platform, Coco also demonstrated a clear energy policy.
“To conserve energy,” she suggested, “take more naps.”
The Giant Pup is open to suggestions to fill out her campaign platform. Let her know what you want!
Spartacus: “A Giant Puppy for President?”
“Prepare to die.”
One that is sunny and happy!

Now, when Coco makes President, you can be her personal assistant, handing out homemade treats to all the followers. I’ll make sure all my critters are at the polls to add their vote for the Critters for Coco ballot.

I think a coffee table book of all your photos would be cool! Then, everyone around the state and out of state could see the farm and pictures of the land – all that green! All the wildflowers, berry bushes, hills, streams, ect. ect.

I’m all for napping, so Coco clearly has my vote and Dookie can be VP. Who knew our first woman president would also be a dog. I meant COCO!(Take note journalists that giant puppy/guard dog is a SHE.) COCO for President. COCO/DOOKIE buttons would be so cute. I would wear one.
