So unless you live under a rock, you must have heard the monstrous deal that has been made about the Portuguese water dog that the Obama family got. It seems that instead of finding one at a shelter, as he said they would, good old Senator Kennedy gave them one. How kind of him.
So much for supporting the local shelters, because if they had looked, they could have found him.
Booooo Mr. Obama.
a reminder to myself

- I grew up in New England and now I live in Washington, DC where I work for the federal government. I've lived abroad in Luxembourg, Poland and Canada, and would like to live abroad again. I love to travel and fill my passport with stamps. I read a lot and want to build libraries where they don't have any. I have a lot of cookbooks and love using them. I have an adorable godson named Jackson. I also sponsor two little girls through World Vision; six-year old Majlinda in Albania and two-year old Boikokobetso in South Africa. I love cupcakes, poppies, chocolate chip pancakes, peonies, strawberries and deviled eggs. I collect tea towels, teapots, Boleslawiec Polish pottery, vintage sewing supplies, Peter Rabbit books/pieces and Russian babushka nesting dolls. My two favorite childrens books of all time are Miss Rumphius and The Velveteen Rabbit and I would like to write my own books someday. I'm learning to quilt and have become a bit obsessed with buying fabric! I also love red shoes and wear them frequently. Steve, my boyfriend, keeps me sane most days, except for the ones when he's the one making me crazy! All in all, life is good and keeps me on my toes.

i don't know much about pet allergies but the dog you linked to isn't a purebred. doesn't that make the dog more likely to induce allergies in someone who is allergic (in this case Malia)?
also, because they did go with a non-shelter dog, obama donated to the washington humane society, so yes, he is supporting local shelters.
i'm more upset they didn't adopt a cat! they have hypoallergenic kitties now, you know.
Aww, the good thing is that people will start adopting these dogs in record numbers. My bet is that many of them will go to shelters, so Pepper may still get a home.
As a cat person, I am totally put off by this whole thing.
I totally agree with this post and they could have gotten a poodle from a shelter. There are a few dogs out there that are good for people with allergies.
I give this post 5 stars. Shelter dogs and kitties are the best.
