Miss Daisy,
Canine Reporter

There are famous dogs like, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Snoopy and now Miss Daisy Sawtelle to name a few.

I hate to brag but I can’t help it. These dogs are heavy hitters and world famous. My claim to fame is being a MENSA dog, above average that is. I know dogs and Robert, editor of the Dog Biscuit Gazette, has taught me about humans and what to report about for dog owners and their ‘best friends’.

I was covering a story in Los Angeles with Robert about cruelty to animals, when I was shocked to see a street named Sawtelle Boulevard. I looked up from taking a pee and there it was. I certainly wasn’t going to pee there again.

I speculated that it was because I was an above average, attractive, and irresistible. (Dogs have egos too…watch the Westminster Dog Show.)

It had to be the success story about my humble beginnings from Embarrass, MN to becoming a canine reporter. My reporting was apparently noticed by the Los Angeles city council and they honored my work with this tribute.

A small parade was ordered while I was in town and I was placed on the front of the float with a Hollywood trick monkey, a cursing parrot, and a fluffy cat (Uff Da.) Pet lovers lined the six-block street with their animals looking on enviously while a recording of “How Much Is That Doggy In The Window” played softly. This tune is very offensive to me. (But that’s another story.)

(Little did we know but the ‘parade’ was a funeral parade. We had accidentally stumbled into it and couldn’t exit for two blocks. Nevertheless, we waved and sadly smiled as if we were mourners.)

There were some Hollywood producers there naturally while the videos and stills were taken. They parted with the familiar words,’ we’ll be in touch’.

Just then a resounding backfire from the motorcycle escort woke me up and I realized I was back home in the office. What a nap. The picture on the wall of the parrot and the monkey hadn’t moved but the cat did so I went back to sleep.

However, that street sign remained: Sawtelle Boulevard.
