Dogs!

How is Phoebe? You posted her puppy pics, now lost forever. Got any new ones?

I do, but for some reason I'm having a hard time posting them.

She's fine, though. Thanks for asking.

Born on Feb 17. Not named. Bernese Mountain Dog Poodle mix.. Bernedoodle
My first new puppy visit was today. I picked this one.
He stays with his mom until April 15 and then goes to puppy school until the 30th and then comes home.
He needs a name before he goes to school

I can see him being “Calvin.”

I just hope he's smart. It's been 20 some years since we've had a dog. I had childhood dog and we've had dogs since our marriage.
My list so far: Calvin, Thurber, Dunk, Poot, T-Bone, Bo, short for Bobo, Bo-Rock or Bo-ama. Ba-ma, Plum.

Oh No!

Major, one of President Biden’s two German shepherds, was involved in another biting incident at the White House this week, his second in less than a month, the White House said Tuesday.

The incident involved a National Park Service employee on the South Lawn on Monday afternoon, according to CNN, which first reported the story.

“Major is still adjusting to his new surroundings and he nipped someone while on a walk,” Michael LaRosa, press secretary for first lady Jill Biden, said in a statement. “Out of an abundance of caution, the individual was seen by [the White House Medical Unit] and then returned to work without injury.”

He's very protective of his family.

I’m waiting for someone to try to spin this into a scandal.

This is hilarious.

This photo popped up on my phone this morning. It's this 6th anniversary of Ted & me meeting! His hair was matted and stained by the red dirt. The real color is that of a golden retriever with a gray saddle. He was very, very sad. 8+ months in doggie prison - for the 2nd time. Just because his two prior families moved away and dumped him when they left. So I took him home with me. I wasn't planning to have another dog....

Major the White House dog will receive further training away from the executive mansion after two biting incidents at his new home, a spokesman for the first lady, Jill Biden, said on Monday.

The misbehaving canine will receive private training in the Washington area. It is expected to last a few weeks.

“Major will undergo some additional training to help him adjust to life in the White House,” spokesman Michael LaRosa said.

The younger of the Bidens’ two german shepherds, a rescue dog, did not break skin in the first incident, the president told ABC last month. Later in March the dog bit a security staff member causing a “minor injury”, a White House spokeswoman said.
