UPDATE :: Dog Logic

GOOD MORNING PUPPY NATION!

He had as much fun in the water as any person I have known. You didn't have to throw a stick in the water to get him to go in. Of course, he would bring back a stick to you if you did throw one in. He would even have brought back a piano if you had thrown one in.

I am not a cat man, but a dog man, and all felines can tell this at a glance — a sharp, vindictive glance.

I myself have known some profoundly thoughtful dogs.

If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.


If you are a police dog, where's your badge?
Asked of his German shepherd

In his grief over the loss of a dog, a little boy stands for the first time on tiptoe, peering into the rueful morrow of manhood. After this most inconsolable of sorrows there is nothing life can do to him that he will not be able somehow to bear.

It did not take Man long — probably not more than a hundred centuries — to discover that all the animals except the dog were impossible around the house. One has but to spend a few days with an aardvark or llama, command a water buffalo to sit up and beg or try to housebreak a moose, to perceive how wisely Man set about his process of elimination and selection.


Man is troubled by what might be called the Dog Wish, a strange and involved compulsion to be as happy and carefree as a dog.


Muggs was always sorry, Mother said, when he bit someone, but we could never understand how she figured this out. He didn't act sorry.


The dog has got more fun out of Man than Man has got out of the dog, for the clearly demonstrable reason that Man is the more laughable of the two animals.


The dog has seldom been successful in pulling man up to its level of sagacity, but man has frequently dragged the dog down to his.
James Thurber

TROJAN DOG

For God's Sake, Do Not Eat the Cat, whatever you decide!
by Pat Darnell

Which of these pets pictured would make the best companion for Barry O, the Wife, and the Kids?

Also, can you identify the Peruvian Hairless Puppy in the group?

Some considerations that might be neglected in the Obama family's choosing stages are:
"Who will be washing rear ends, and tending to the animal's duty?"

"Is there ample White House Staff available to manage the extra family member's meals?"

"Will Secret Service be assigned to Fluffy?"

"What if their is no more food in the house, will they eat this pet?"

"Will the Obama's be getting a pet from just anyone? There are those who want to look like good neighbors, but really harbor discontent... and are malicious," as rumored HERE:

Peru Attempts To Invade White House With Tiny Hairless Trojan Dog
11 November 2008 | [SOURCE]
Friends of the Peruvian Hairless Dog Association have offered to send the new first family a Peruvian Hairless puppy. They say they want to send it because of Malia Obama’s allergies–the hairless breed is hypoallergenic–but we can’t help but wonder if they’re trying to scare the crap out of the girls with that ugly thing.

After all, -relations haven’t exactly been peachy keen between the U.S. and Peru what with them accusing us of trying to kill their president every other week.- * [Guanabee Ed: Uh, yeah, disregard that sentence. Heh.]

This dog could be code for some kind of warning. Or maybe it even houses little Incan warriors who will escape in the night and take over the White House while the Obamas sleep. Or maybe that thing just horrifies us. Either way, please, Obamas, get a goldendoodle.

Comments:

* Dude, whoever wrote this confused Bolivia for Peru. As in, I’m pretty sure the relationship between Peru and the U.S is a-ok while Bolivia’s president is pretty paranoid about the U.S swooping in and ousting him. Seriously, people. Stop confusing one country with the other.

Ha, no, we’d never eat a kitty, even though the people of Cañete insist they hold the festival for health reasons.
They believe that eating cat burgers – and fried cat legs and tails – can cure bronchial disease. A 63-year-old local woman with 17 children and 70 grandchildren also credits cat meat for keeping her fertile. It is also believed that feline meat serves as an aphrodisiac.


Maybe the Obamas would like a pair of Turkeys.

Maybe this nice Urchin would suffice that "gotta have it urge impulses."
