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.
ReplyDeleteI love silliness, so I'm here.
ReplyDeleteGood 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.
ReplyDeletePlus, a wiener dog would improve relations with Germany :-)
@Anonymous- never thought of a Pitbull, but I like it! Are they good with children though?
ReplyDelete@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.
ReplyDeleteBut 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.
ReplyDeleteMini 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
ReplyDelete@Ana- Yorkies are nice. Nell is a Yorkie?
ReplyDelete@ 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?
