It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve written a Pawlitics post! I’ve been working hard on getting background research for my project done, as well as filling out the proper forms to file for my IRB. I need the IRB information before I can begin doing any interviews or other primary research. Please stay tuned and bear with me as I am getting that stuff taken care of!
For a quick update, this week is Valentine’s Day! This past weekend, I convinced Kegan to decorate sugar cookies with me. We had pink, purple, and red icing and lots of different types of sprinkles. Kegan was actually pretty good at decorating (and I think he had at least a little fun.
I had a schnauzer cookie cutter I got a few years back. I got it because it was a dog. And you know, I like dogs. While getting out cookie cutters for our Valentine’s Day cookies, I found the schnauzer cookie cutter. I told Kegan it looked like Henry Holcomb, who is the First Dog of Indiana. Thus, we decided to decorate Henry Holcomb cookies, and I for one thought they were pretty darn cute.
Henry was one of the first political dogs I really cared about, so it was fitting to decorate a few Henry cookies.
Henry, we hope you have a happy Valentine’s Day!
