So this little pupper jumped in my car at the trailhead today. Wouldn’t leave. Anyone I asked (shouted to from a distance) said he had been there alone for hours in the snow. Gotta admit: He smells terrible and he made my day. 
He’s really young. Skinny too, under all the fur. I’ll be calling around tomorrow to find his family. If this is your little boy let me know in the DMs.
Should this be your guy, I deliver! Beware as I will also ask if you need any canned goods/medications and whether or not you are feeling isolated.
UPDATE: We’re doing some light burr/pine resin removal and he’s taking it better than I am 😬
And I'm realizing this is not the first time during this campaign that a pup has jumped in my open car door seeking sanctuary/a ride. Last summer, while on the campaign trail:
Missoula/Polson: Anyone know a vet that isn't swamped? How do we do social distancing when taking a pup to get checked out? He's so skinny. 🥺 I wanna get him looked at so I dont overfeed him
I totally forgot that this is actually the THIRD dog our campaign has found.
Idk how I could forget about you, Corky. Many apologies.
UPDATE:
He just ate a live ant.
And he may be part corgi w/ these little stumps for legs.

He’s still malnourished but starting to get some of that puppy energy back.
I swear I’m actually doing important work today remotely. But since my twitter feed has turned into dog content I’ll feed that beast...
Apparently politics is not just about rescuing dogs & fighting for working families over corporations.
So now is the time when my campaign team forces me to ask for money.
I promise I will still share photos even if nobody donates.

WEATHER UPDATE:
Montana decided to throw some snow on our run.
Montana decided to throw some snow on our run.
I’m being told we are in a VERY tight race between Charlie, Hank, and Summit in the polls.
Might have to go through the comments to see if there’s a dark horse/underdog choice out there...

He is the best call time manager.
Vet is checking for a chip and giving him a wellness checkup. Feeling very conflicted🤞
The little guy doesn't have a chip! I'm glad he's brought as much joy to 182k people as he has to me. Our Governor has put in place a stay-at-home order until at least April 10, so looks like I'll have someone to hang with at home! And during zoom meetings! What a journey.
I still have to campaign for Congress, I still have to socially isolate, but its gonna be a lot better with this guy with me.
Things are going well (does this count as passing or failing the mirror test?)!!
4:50pm on a working Saturday and we’re livin large (those are the notes he ate this morning, stacked for re-copying)
Took a break, tried to de-scrunch him, am slowly going crazy, is this cabin fever?
It’s Sunday morning! The bakeries are closed! There is no Montana op-ed exploring connection between the pandemic and our health system that fails everyone but the rich!
Luckily I went to cooking school so I can bake & I’m a politician so the papers will print what I write🤞

@Faviken your book is...intimidating.
As the dough rises, be kind and accommodating to different voices and young talents, internet:
(Also be kind if the yeast turns out to be inactive - I forgot to proof it)

...and be kind to the pupper, who had different plans while i stepped outside for a call:
Rolled out and cut “like trousers” says the defaced book. And My first try looks...ok. We’re going places!
Yes, he ate some dough that fell to the floor.

While I wrap dough knots around my (heavily washed) fingers, a friend sent me this.
Not usually my thing and I’m trying to act like it’s a normal Sunday. But it’s not. And this is beautiful. 😔

We’ve both eaten too much dough (he’s eaten too many pages of cookbooks) at this point. But they’re all wrapped up and going in oven - dough didn’t rise so I might come out with cookies rather than buns.
Writing op-ed about small town healthcare, the pandemic, and what it means for my constituents here in Montana.
And then my buddy out of state @SorenCraigMull1 sends this. Nurses, docs, EMTs - they’re rushing to front lines. Support them - stay in.

Success! 🐶 👨🍳
While many of us shelter in place in relative comfort (baking
with dogs, etc), many of the newest Americans are going without. @RESCUEorg does great work and have assisted some of my best friends in Missoula. Keep them in your thoughts. Help out:
