WGA picketers were asked to multitask today by walking the line and walking their dogs at both Fox and Raleigh studios. WGA red bandanas for the pooches said, "Don't make us beg." Among the slogans seen on picket signs: Bark for Writers. We won’t roll over. Sit, Stay, Strike. We won’t work for Kibbles & Bits. Below is event organizer Cindy Chupack, with her dog Tink, and Juliet Aires Giglio with Kylie.

Someone should have let loose some cats and made it interesting.
AMPTP is barking up the wrong tree.

Thats awesome, hey did anyone get any comments or feedback from the actual pets themselves. I’d love to hear Milo or Kylie’s take on how they think negotiations are going.
Nikki–
Not that there’s anything more important than Andrea King’s dog, but any news on the negotiations?
Are these theme days really doing anything? Is anyone watching? Is this strike going past the point of no return? Enquiring minds want to know!
Oh Lord!
I think the point of these theme days is to keep spirits up on the picket line. We’re already out there. Our feet are already pounding the pavement. We’re walking, showing our solidarity as the powers that be negotiate. Whatever keeps people’s spirits up is fine with me. Dogs. Doughnuts. Gays. Sci-Fi monsters, who gives a shit? It shakes things up, keeps morale up. Gives some people a chance to organize, share stuff they’re into. So I think it’s all fine. The dogs were fun today. They made me smile.
Do you realize this strike could last 63 months in “dog years”?
Did you see what happened today?
Am I allowed to post links here?
Speaking of “reality”

They’ll just put us in poop bags and throw us out.
That is nothing, Rupert may be in trouble in his homeland for posting his portrait inside the Sydney Morning Herald’s newsroom.

I am guessing that News Corp learned of what they were doing and decided to do something themselves. All of this could affect American Businesses.
On topic, I love the theme days. If anything, it keeps the writers in the press.
Oh there’s nothing wrong with theme days – they keep the spirits up and gives those NOT walking everyday something to complain about. Hearing them gripe about it makes us even stronger in a way. Makes me smile at least.
What I was wondering was – where was Triumph the insult comic dog? Turns out that Fox is a good studio…to poop on.
Great tactic. Guaranteed to bring the producers to their knees.
we support all of you, what you are doing is setting an example for your fellow writers around the world.
Keep up the spirit.

Note to picketers – you might want to refrain from laughing when your photo is being taken. Some might think… oh I don’t know… you’re not taking this strike seriously.
Cocktails at 6 anyone?
Note to Sandy Daley–re: Not laughing while on the picket line.
Give me a break. Seriously? Obviously you haven’t been on the picket lines every day for three or four hours for five weeks straight. Perhaps we should bring whips, wear shackles, or better yet carry a cross….this isn’t about suffering, it’s about standing together, more like walking together, to show solidarity. Im dead serious about this strike and about picketing for months if that’s what it takes to get a fair deal. But I’ll be laughing on line, the whole time, I guarantee it.
Hope you enjoy your humorless holidays!
picketguy,
Obviously you haven’t been on the picketlines five days a week because there AREN’T picketlines five days a week!
Picketing is four days a week with Fridays for other things.
Of course, if you knew what you were talking about and actually helping the course (as opposed to simply pontificating on a website), you’d know that.
Dearest cranky sourpuss Sandy the shill…
And the humorlessness continues. Uh, I HAVE been on the picket line every day (that there have been picket lines). What I said in my first post was ” every day for three or four hours for five weeks straight,” I never said five days straight. If you’re going to get all silly and ridiculous in the comment section of a blog, particularly a thread about something as important as dogs, at least read what the person wrote before pontificating. (Let’s clarify, I wasn’t pontificating when responding to your comment, I was aiming for sarcastic castigating criticism…)
If you meant helping the “cause” and not the “course” then I’d love to address that as well: Seems to me you’re the one who’s castigating writers not to laugh on the line as you say we won’t be taken seriously. I think perhaps you are the one no one takes seriously. Except for the studio people who paid you to post here. Or perhaps you’re just lonely.
Your dour, sour and ultimately time-wasting postings only prove one thing…the picket line isn’t the only place for dogs and bitches! See you Monday on the picket line…Oh, wait. I guess not. You’re not a writer!
This was a great idea! I hope it got picked up by the press, but even if it wasn’t then it was fun for the owners, good exercise for the doggies, and must have made for a nice energized day of picketing (all good in my book!)!
Who’s that cute guy in the bg with the sunglasses? I’d like him to ghost write my autobiography.
That’s it?! I wanna know what happens to Picketguy and Sandy Daly? I’ll bet they forgot they were on strike and decided that posting creative lashes at each other for our entertainment seemed close to “work”.
