I am hard at work on a new piece, but thought I would engage in some silliness.
President Elect Obama promised his daughters a puppy if they were good during his campaign.
Last night he told them they would get a puppy.
Now, I hope he gets a puppy from the pound, or ASPCA, not a puppy mill.
But I wonder what kind of dog he should get to be the First Puppy?
I will toss in a White or Yellow Lab. Girl.
Any other ideas? I know there are a lot of dog people out there!

Pitbull, that should help his inner city supporters identify with him.
I love silliness, so I'm here.
Good point about that pit bull. But Labs--IF you train them well early in life--are totally wonderful family dogs. We're on a run of Shelties right now, have had Labs, Border collies and a terrific, smart poodle cross in the past. Shelties are a nice size, but need to be well bred lest they be squirrely. Poodles look fine and fuzzy, not silly at all in a puppy clip and are extremely smart, long-lived, interesting dogs. BCs are just too smart for my sweetie and me and they need a job and LOTS of room and exercise.
So, I guess I vote for a pit bull, puppy-clipped poodle or Lab or a mutt from the pound. Mostly, I vote for whatever dog they fall in love with.
Whatever dog they get, those wee girls really HAVE earned it!
Bless you all.
A dachshund, of course! A miniature doxie in particular could be carried around like Paris Hilton or Elle Woods do their chihuahuas.
Plus, a wiener dog would improve relations with Germany :-)
@Anonymous- never thought of a Pitbull, but I like it! Are they good with children though?
@Sherry-You really are a dog lady! Do you mean miniature Poodles or the large size ones?
@Larry, of course you like Doxies. I have never heard of a mini doxie.
A yorkshire.
But not the little. I'll measure Nell.
:)
I like about any kind of poodle. But only in a puppy clip. They look like giant puff balls that way.
Mini doxies really are quite adorable. I like long haired dox, too.
I like big dogs, also. Irish wolfhounds, with heads as big as breadboxes and gentle dispositions. Scottish deerhounds, looking allover like an unmade bed.
Yeah. (blush) I'm a dog person. A duck person, too. I'd be going on and on even worse if Obama promised his kids a duck.
According to BestFriends.org he's promised to get a rescue dog. So pup should be not a puppy mill pooch. I happen to think the First Dog should be a cat, though. hehe
@Ana- Yorkies are nice. Nell is a Yorkie?
@ Immi- Yes, yes, that is why I put up the famous picture of Socks Clinton on my site!
awww socks looks a lot like my mew mew. i think on tv they talked about a mix...of a lab and a poodle?
