Yeah. Very sad the “first” family didn’t really want a pet, that much is obvious. Peer/media pressure got to them. And, they almost treated it like a family getting their first house with a yard.
Which I have been wondering, did they finally give up the pretense of looking for a church? Seems like the media finally let that go too.
We happened into the first basset we got. He needed a new home, so we had to learn on the go. But, we found out why he needed a new home after some research; he was lonely. Now he has a brother & sister we adopted from shelters. He is the least needy of the 3.
It was noted yesterday or perhaps this morning by a
Republican congressman that Obama spent more time selecting a puppy than on the healthcare bill.
I happened into my Walker, too. Literally. She jumped in my car. Good thing, too. Apparently, she’d been very recently dumped, as she was running up to every passing car, tail wagging, then the picture of dejection when the cars didn’t stop. She’d have been dead by morning, if I hadn’t taken her in. Some breeds don’t “get” cars very well, and the Walker Hound is one of them. She likes to ride in them well enough, though. Don’t know of many dogs who don’t, unless they have a negative association with being taken to the vet or something.
