In Political Party Animals, Online Athens, the blog of the Athens Banner-Herald of Athens, Georgia reported:

2006 was the year of Doggles.

2007 was the year of doggie beer.

Political Party Pets and My Dog Votes have banded together to ensure that 2008 is the year of politically active pets.

Georgia’s presidential primary election is only a few weeks away. If you still haven’t made up your mind on who to support, ask yourself, who would your pet vote for?

Political Party Pets asks people to classify their pets as Repuppycans, Doggie Democrats, Republikittens or Democats and offers bowls, t-shirts and bandannas that proudly display your pet’s political affiliation. Even though the logos are super cute, I can’t imagine paying $10 to $14 dollars for bandannas that my dogs will destroy within days.

My Dog Votes, whose mission is “Saving Dogs and Democracy,” offers postage stamps to “lick voter apathy,” in addition to stickers and pins. If you have friends north of the border, they also have a Canadian campaign.

Although I don’t know the breeds of writer Trisha Klein’s dogs, I’m not quite sure how a dog could destroy a bandana that’s tied around its neck. As for our pricing, remember, you get free shipping on all bandanas and t-shirts at Political Party Pets. Many other websites that sell dog bandanas offer only costly Priority Mail or Express Mail shipping options. So the total “in your hands” cost of our bandanas (and t-shirts) is very competitive.
