Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in an email Tuesday that “no decisions have been made” about the dog. But Pope said she is confident that the Trumps will take the puppy, which she named Patton after George Patton, a World War II general Trump has said he admires.

The cook. (Too easy)
They are our friends!
(Repeat again and again)
City folk just don’t understand!
They are horribly cruel and slow.
If I have to kill something, it’s going to be quick and painless.
So far, the mice keep to themselves and only nibble at the goat feed.
Decades ago, I rented a house with a major mouse problem.
I took 2 liter pop bottles, put peanut butter and a drop of water in them, and propped them up on books.
The mice went in for the food and the peanut oil made their wet feet too slippery to climb back out.
I trapped a hundred mice, the first week.
Then I built them a custom enclosure and they lived in the basement.
When I moved here, I brought them with me.
They “evolved” from plain gray house mice into mice with fancy white markings and became very tame.
I turned them loose in the old barn in the field beside me.
Once in a while, 26 years later, I’ll see a house mouse with white markings running around.
I know it’s “one of mine”, then.
Plus, I have numerous reptiles, amphibians, voles, shrews and deer mice here.
Don’t want them getting ‘stuck’.
Well, that’s cold comfort.
Ouch!
Same here. Already bought the first glue traps of the season.
Top catch was eleven. Then I got cats.
Ain’t that the sad, sad truth?
The neighbor killed the 8 foot black snake female that had been here since the late 70s, and right after that, an old man on the other side of the ridge died and all his goats were taken away.
Pack rats, seeking a new food source, poured over the mountain, plaguing us all.
But Big Mama was not here to save us.
Nor any of her kids, who’d all been killed, too.
CATS! Yes!
I have educated my neighbors. But that doesn’t stop one from getting caught in mower.
Actually built them a little shelter leaning an old metal door across a log. We had a small male who would bathe in a water feature outside porch window with two small frogs. Dad would watch them for hours. He called the frogs “appetizer” and “dessert”. The snake never bothered them.
How about miniature giraffes?
I hate voles! Nasty little cannibalistic stinkers....none of the hunting animals will touch them. Glue traps are too good for the vermin, IMO, especially after washing out a drawer or a shelf for the third time in three days.
I won’t write out my worst vole stories....too much grue.
A dog named Patton will put foreign states on alert.
And Obama’s dog was named Snowflake if I recall.
Awww.
:)
Wow.
Sorry.
Didn’t mean to vole-trigger ya!
:D
I know!
I fell in love with the breed because of their story.
:)
I think “Patton” was my all time favorite movie. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Trump greatly admired him.
But this dog doesn’t look bad-ass enough.
Patton’s dog Willie was a coward in the movie Patton.
A goldendoodle is not a real dog
