What’s With the Dog?

We have a new addition to our blog that some of you have asked me about. Down there on the right column at the bottom.

He is a Blue Dog, festively attired in a New Orleans Saints Jersey.

The Blue Dog is a creation of the artist George Rodrigue, and this particular rendition of the Blue Dog is just one that Rodrigue created after you-know-what. (Starts with a “K,” ends with an “A.”)

Sales of this print, as well as several others he did after the storm, have been donated to various good causes in the New Orleans area.

This particular print was the one Rodrigue did to commemorate the Saints return to the New Orleans Superdome last September.

Since it is once again football season, and since the Saints and Colts open up the NFL season tomorrow night — it was time we showed our colors.

(Then again, Peyton Manning is a New Orleans native, so what the hey?) Nah, we still want the Saints to win. Pretty hard to do in that damn dome up there in Indy though.
