Think you know Harry Potter? Try Bo's Deathly Hallows Trivia Challenge!

 
It feels like it's been years since the last Harry Potter movie came out! I have my wizard's hat, magic wand and lightning bolt scar ready to go. I plan on wearing my invisibility cloak to sneak out of the house and into the theater. I would gladly pay the admission fee if only I had an allowance, and thumbs, with which to count the bills and accept my change. No matter...I'm going...there's no stopping me...it's my destiny! I know Harry would understand.

As I mark-off the days on the calendar until November 19th, I've busied myself by putting together this little test for you. Are you ready? Put your wizard's hat on and give it a go!

Code name for the new first dog

It's no secret the Secret Service uses code names when referring to members of the first family. Though at one time a security measure, the practice is now, essentially, tradition. In fact, the code names for the Obama family are already public knowledge. The President is known as Renegade and the first lady, Renaissance. Malia and Sasha? Radiance and Rosebud, respectively. Which leaves us to wonder, what in the world will they code name the first dog? Let us know your thought.

Obama dog... log?

President Barack Obama has officially declared: Sasha and Malia will scoop the poop deposited by the incoming first dog. Doesn't sound like a decision that was made very democratically. Here at Dogtime, we feel the American people should have a say in the matter...
