The Friday News Round-Up
I have decided that if the shows we listen to on the NPR (National Public Radio, in case you didn't know) --- if those shows can have a Friday News Round-Up, that we can too. It sounds very important, doesn't it? And as you know, I am an Important Boy Bloginator PitBull Reporter Extra-Ordinary, so I need an important topic for my Friday Blogging.
So, let's start off by reminding everyone that today is Friday, the end of the working week and the start of a fun filled week-end. It's always important to have Fun Filled Week-Ends.
We are in the starting phase of a HUGE SNOWSTORM. As you know, I was blogging about that just a couple of days ago, and we are watching the white stuff fall on our home right at this very minute. It started this morning at 10 and now it is 1:30 and already my Mom's little Honda car is almost covered up entirely. Supposedly we might get as much as 30 inches before this is all over. I hope that Rusty and Scarlett who are very small, don't get lost in a drift. I would have to rescue them, and whereas I know I can do it, I hope I don't have to. What if I got stuck? Someone would then have to come and rescue me. Yippers.
Second important news of the DAY. The Today Show had Mr. Luke and da' boys - Hudson and Murphy, on it's program today. It was very, very exciting to watch our friends on IMPORTANT NATIONAL TELEVISION. We are hoping that this will bring a lot more attention to the wonderful work that Mr. Luke and Huds and Murph are doing to help in cancer research.
Mr. Luke looked mighty fine and Hudson got to sprawl out on the couch right in front of the camera's...... Murphy presented his "not so best side" to the camera most of the time, but we forgave him for being shy.
Here is what our Uncle Erich had to say about today's event.
The Today Show! OK, by now you must know that Luke, Hudson, and Murphy will be on The Today Show, Friday, February 5, 2010. Right now they're camped down the street from the studios in The Muse Hotel (http://www.themusehotel.com/ ), only a few blocks away, and will be walking, accompanied by `Mommy Ginger' to the studio in the morning. Ginger said she flew in from Memphis just to make sure everyone got to the studio on time, but I think she secretly wants to meet Matt and Meredith. Everyone's to be there by 7AM EST. When I spoke to Ginger tonight, she'd just finished brushing Murphy and the Concierge had dropped off 2 dog bowls and 2 (way too small) beds for The Boys in Luke's room. (Yeah, like Hudsy and Murph are going to sleep on the floor. HA!)
How exciting this all is. I would like to be on the Today Show. I wonder if Mr. Luke told them about me, Bob, and what a good PitBull Reporter I am.
I deserve some press too, I think.
Unfortunately, the segment that was featuring Mr. Luke, got a bit cut off at the end, and Mr. Luke didn't get to talk about the NEW campaign which is to be called TWO MILLION DOGS: TWO MILES. But here is what you can do.
Wake up your lazy (and possibly snowed in) Mouse Person and have him fly you to: 2 MILLION DOGS . When you arrive you can Pledge A Dog --------which is: the rounding up of 2 million dogs to walk for cancer! This is a nationwide effort to end cancer today by submitting your dog's name, a bit of information about you and a way to contact you. THAT WAY, WHEN THE CAMPAIGN ROLLS OUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, YOU WILL BE A PART OF IT.
Remember: You heard it here on the Friday News Round-Up, From Bob. We can do this, one paw at a time!

I think facts like this are an important part of The Friday News Round-UP. What if someone came along and asked you an important question and you didn't know the answer? For instance, I think knowing about the 9,246 gallons of Watermelon Jello is a critical fact.
AND IN CLOSING........ Here is my pick for Bob's Buddies Blog of the Week!
Have your Mouse Person take you straight away to visit my friend Holly, at A Life Aquatic Here is a picture of Miss Holly in the snow.
Does it not look like Holly is floating on a cloud?
Holly is living on a boat in Baltimore Harbor and her Blogging is very entertaining, so I have made her the first of my official Bob's Blogging Buddies. I think you will like hearing what Miss Holly has to say.
So.
That is all the Important News I can think of for now. I'm sure I have forgotten about a lot of other important stuff, but this is only my very first Friday News Round-Up and I have, no doubt, a lot to learn about rounding up.
Love and LIcks,
Bob
