A 'Sweet Dog' Confronts the Trump Catastrophe
|
PHOEBE'S WORRIED. Not that Trump will win. Biden probably will. And then what? It's what Trump will be leaving behind for Joe and Kamala: "The Big Mess." Covid-19. The broken economy. Climate change. And the folks getting ready to tear the 46th president to bits: the Republican hate machine and the liberals can't-wait agenda. At best we'll have two years to get it all done before the mid-terms. It's enough to keep you up nights. CLICK here to go to her blog.
THE TRACKER
PHOEBE
Phoebe is widely regarded as a "sweet" dog. It's what a veterinarian wrote when he first examined her after she was brought to Rhode Island from Missouri at age 6 months, and it's the first thing people say when they meet her on the street.
She came to Newport in 2012 to live with her humans - The Nice One and The Grouchy One - at age 2 and would have remained blandly non-political but for the threat Trump poses to democracy and the planet. What could an ordinary citizen do? She wasn't a fetch-the-ball type and hardly a guard dog. But she could write, and so she started a blog, of which she's the principal author.

IN MEMORIAM
Cat, a cat, was Phoebe's co-author. He died Nov. 14, 2019. His contribution was to keep the liberal and often over-the-top Phoebe sensible and on course, making sure she focused on results. He is remembered in every posting, and missed.
