A Christmas party for the canines happened Monday in the nation’s capital. A few members of congress and staffers were there, too.

It was all for the first-ever “bi-pawtisan howliday” party — in which House members and their staff brought their dogs to the U.S. Capitol. Dogs big and small showed up in their best outfits. Some sported full-on elf costumes or reindeer antlers, while others went with festive collars instead.

Rep. Lamar Smith from Texas hosted the bash alongside two representatives from Florida.

Those doggies would do a better job in congress than some of the current occupants...and certainly smarter and better looking than most.

Hmmm...what kinda of twisted retardation can the MSM come up for this one? Trump forces poor dogs to dress as slaves!

The male dogs would be hounded from office for humping somebody’s leg. Then we’d have an all-bitch congress.

The U.S. CAPITOL majors in the frivolous minors. Can’t see THE FOUNDING FATHERS dressing their dogs up for a HOLIDAY PARTY.

Although Penny is a Proud Nudist, She will be delighted to participate in any and all White House Activities for This Administration! Even if it means "Dressing Up".

Merry Christmas, President Trump!

FRANKEN DESCRIBES HIS DOG AT HOWLIDAY PARTY: "...He's cute ain't he? Only problem is, he's got a little bit a Minnesota leg hound in 'im. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. You don't want him around if you're wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let 'im finish..."

Isn’t that what we have now? Some might think so.

Okay, I can’t resist posting this link. It’s a little dog’s reaction when he realizes he’s getting a second treat. I die...I die...
It uses music to show when the second treat awakening happens around the 13 or 14 second mark.

Very cute, thanks for posting. Nice reminder of what's important in life.

My dog, Stella, though, wouldn't do well in the Rotunda -- that marble floor would be like ice to the poor thing! She freaks out at hard surfaces. My others don't mind, but if her paws slip even a touch, Stella will stop and demand a ride. Her full name is Stella d'Artois. That's her on the left:



Stella, btw, walks in one direction only: towards food.

Tks! And they’re much more pleasant than politics. Cavs are such great dogs.
