Obama promised his children a puppy-

[borzoimom]

So any guesses what breed or think he will adopt?

 

[ACooper]

I am pretty sure I read it was going to be an adopted rescue............so it's really anyone's guess! LOL

 

[vanillasugar]

How cute is that??

I don't picture a small dog. It'll be over 40lbs full grown. That's my only guess

 

[MicksMom]

I didn't look at the link yet, but I read on a Lab board that he wants something hypoallergenic/non-shedding. Who wants to bet he falls for the Labradoodle is non-shedding line?

 

[noludoru]

I am so hoping it is a rescued MUTT.

**Offers him a crabby corgi or a psychotic malinois

 

[borzoimom]

I am hoping for a rescued greyhound. His children are old enough if they know how to respect a dog. Its a rescue but also uh wouldn't the dog look great on the couches in the White House?

They may end up with a Checkers sort of situation - someone may give them a dog.

 

[HoundedByHounds]

yeah the allergy issue might limit things quite a bit. Maybe a Westie? His kids are old enough I think for a Terrier...aren't most a bit less hard on allergies?

 

[Lizmo]

I do hope that it's a rescue. Otherwise

they're actually really cool... I just like them better when they don't have that silly haircut.

What about a schnauzer or a wheaten or a portugese water dog???

They keep it! a lot of people get a dog as a mark of a good thing happening... that doesn't mean they get rid of it. It's just that they told themselves, this is my goal, once I reach it I can have a dog.

Werent you just complaining the other day about how they DIDNT have a pet and how it would be soooo much better if they had a pet ???

Obama doesnt even have a pet.. I mean jeeeeeeez.. We are use to having a pet in the White House.. ( even if its sheep in the front lawn..) On the other hand with all the pets McCain has, they are going to need a bigger yard ... We wont have a single pet in the White House- we will have a whole troop of pets...

 

[borzoimom]

ohhhhhhhhhhh Cairn Terrier... Good one!

I am just saying. He was not talking about a pet before and now he is??? Thats no different than anyone else that says " oh lets get a dog" .. I am sorry but having worked alot with fosters etc in the past, a sudden decission to get a pet is usually not a good idea.. ( anyone remember Nancy Reagan being dragged across the White house lawn by her Bouvier? )

 

[bubbatd]

I will say a Lab,or Golden and Poodle mix . Just hope that they don't call it a Doodle !

Who said it was sudden? This may have been in the works for the whole campaign--and if they've been talking about it for years, it's hardly sudden.

I fail to see how those two sentences have anything to do with each other?

that's the logic that gives bully breeds bad names.
