Since I am in the middle of attending a pet industry trade show, I thought it would be fun to tie-in animals into this week's Saturday Seven post. I started thinking about the animal characters that have been part of cartoon pop culture for many generations. I never really watched a lot of TV as a kid, but I did have my favorites along the way. Cartoons are how many kids get to "know" various animals at an early age. I remember being a little kid thinking mice wore shoes and could talk! This brings me to another scintillating edition of The Saturday Seven: Favorite Cartoon Animal Characters
#1 Snoopy and Woodstock: They had the best friendship and always made me smile. I would run to the newspaper everyday to see what they were up to.
#2 Bugs Bunny: I can still watch Bugs and his antics for hours and never be bored. He really maks me laugh.
#3 Scooby Doo: I loved his goofy nature and how he was still always a hero.
#4 Garfield: I loved his dry sense of humor and attitude.
#5 Marmaduke: Having grown up with a big dog in the house, Marmaduke represented all the crazy things I observed out family dog do when I was a kid.
#6 Sylvester and Tweety: Poor Sylvester, he could never catch a break, Tweety was just too clever for him.
#7 Tom and Jerry: Even though it felt dated to me as a kid I really liked Tom and Jerry. They had such a zest for life and kept things interesting for me.
So who were YOUR favorite ANIMAL cartoon characters? Go ahead, leave a comment!

GREAT DANES ARE THE COOLEST DOGS EVARRRR! I was in a modeling class as a teenager and my teacher, who raised Afghans (the dogs, not the blankets!) rolled her eyes as I tried to saunter down the catwalk, "Tea, you have the presence of a Great Dane." A few years later I would be walking in my city amongst a group of women who all looked like Afghans-- long straight hair, pointed noses, etc. (there was a convention of young business woman and I think they were part of it) and I saw our reflection in a mirrored office building. I do resemble a Great Dane.
Scooby Doo and Marmaduke are the essence of coolness.
First Garfield.
Then Hobbes.
