Ricky the Beagle for RTM!

Remember my friend Gustav?  He’s a Norsk Buhund (yes, some of my best friends are Norsk), and I wrote about him last February.  He belongs to Eric, who works with Mrs. Beagle Man.  In a lot of ways, I look up to Gus.  For one thing, he has an actual job at Mrs. B’s office.  You don’t believe me?  Just look at the photo below.  But even more than that, he just ran for office in Gardiner, NY — and he got 6 votes!  That really makes me envious, because, to tell you the truth, I’ve been thinking of running for public office for quite some time.  On the Dog Party.  I’m actually pretty popular in town — know any other Westport dogs who write their own blogs? — and I think I could do a good job at . . . hmmm.  I’m not totally sure what I want to run for yet.  But I’m thinking maybe RTM.  I have another pal named Archie (I wrote about him, too, last year), and his dad, Rick, just ran for RTM last week, and won — so maybe he could help me.  I don’t think there’s another election for RTM until 2015, but that actually gives me some time to put together my campaign staff, gather even more support from my fellow Westporters, and do some research on a few really, really important questions — like what “RTM” stands for.
