"These little bitty dogs, they just don't really get credit."

So says Denise Long, owner of Zoey the 5-pound Chihuahua. Zoey recently jumped in front of a rattlesnake who was...what...lunging? striking? Anyway, the snake was about to get Denise's 1-year-old grandson and Zoey jumped in front and took the bite instead. And yes, I should include for all you animal lovers, Zoey did survive and is back to "prancing."

There's your good news story of the day. Meanwhile, I'm dashing around trying to get ready to leave for Reagan Airport in a couple hours. I'm headed home to Boise for my family's annual week on the lake. I'll have my computer as my one work goal is to put together a press kit, but other than that I hope to be spending hours upon hours lounging in the water with a good book. ;)
