Gizmo has now attended two rallies in #Santa Fe, NM, in support of the #Occupy #Wall #Street movement.
At the first, in front of the Bank of America branch, Gizmo was the only dog to respond positively to my cry to encourage our dogs to relieve themselves on the BofA. He targeted a bush near the walls of the bank. At the second, in a beautiful park near the State Capital, he was more interested in other dogs than in the speeches about energy independence through bio fuels (Always a cooperative dog, Gizmo did seem willing to contribute what he could to waste matter).
We saw the dog pictured above with a “Don’t steal my bone” placard. Although Grace was afraid he would be trampelled and hurt, he was not, despite laying down at our feet in bored contemplation of the talks at the impromptu meeting.
After we closed two accounts and sold our BofA stock, Grace told the first gathering we attended that she was ripping up our BofA checks, which she did to rousing cheers. Then she shouted that she would put the torn checks in her pocket to prevent littering. Even more cheers.
They were peaceful, calm events which Gizmo rather enjoyed, while we upheld a middle-class presence in them.
