Fashion Dog

Earth Day and clever adults have managed to scare children to death about their futures. Barack Obama (former US Constitution instructor who presumably should understand First Amendment rights) is looking into prosecuting government lawyers who wrote legal memos with which he disagrees. At a UN conference, pals of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad chant "Zionazi" to recent North Shore visitor, Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. Today, perhaps it might be best to focus on the less significant.

Enter fashion dog Mondex, a 5 year old Chihuahua, seen above, just in time to cheer you up. His outfit (at a Philippine fashion show) helped him beat out stiff competition from Tucker, dressed as a cowboy. Plenty more cute pet pictures at the New York Daily News that are bound to add perspective.

In other news, Monday marked Wilmette's 1,000th post.
