Trump Family Breaks Presidential Tradition in Not Keeping White House Pet [CNN screed excerpted]
KTLA ^ | CNN

Posted on 10/21/2017 11:56:53 AM PDT by BenLurkin

While the Trumps have yet to fill the White House grounds with any pets, Vice President Mike Pence and second lady Karen Pence have a veritable menagerie at the Naval Observatory.

When the Pences traveled from Indiana to Washington days before the inauguration, they disembarked with cats Pickle and Oreo, plus rabbit Marlon Bundo. Bundo, who has his own Instagram account, has become an icon in the rabbit world, even appearing at an event alongside the vice president.

Days before the election, the family lost their beloved 13-year-old beloved beagle, Maverick.

Less than a year later, cat Oreo joined Maverick in pet heaven.

“Rest in peace Oreo. You touched a lot of hearts in your little life. Our family will miss you very much,” Karen Pence tweeted alongside photos of the black and white cat.

But Marlon Bundo and Pickle weren’t the only pets for long; one week later, the vice president, second lady, and daughter Charlotte traveled to their home state of Indiana, where kitten Hazel and Australian shepherd puppy Harley joined the brood.

The second lady also unveiled a beehive at the Naval Observatory, now home to more than 35,000 bees.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record,

I certainly hope he does NOT pardon a turkey this year.

Would love to see him have a turkey ‘present’ and when a reporter shouts out “WHAT IS HIS NAME”, PDT can say

“OH, you shouldn’t name ANY animal you are about to eat and then proceed to introduce the CENTER PIECE of the Thanksgiving Meal”

THAT will have people reminded of the ‘Exorcist’ because heads will be spinning all over LibWorld.

Or a white pit bull.

Just for fun, doggie wears a diamond encrusted collar.

Watch their heads explode.
