Easter Puppy...figures. I have a web site that contains recommendations for buying a puppy (www.buyingapuppy.com). One of them is to never buy a puppy at Christmas or Easter. Increased demand and same supply causes a bad buyers market. Too many people will "take whatever they can get" because they need a puppy for the kids on the holiday.

Portuguese water dogs are extremely active and people-oriented dogs; they need a “job” to do and do not do well being left alone. I sure hope that these people know what they’re getting into, for the dog’s sake.

Great dogs. But why not a rescue dog? I am nearly Peta-esque on the topic of rescue animals first for family pets.

It would be really funny if Zero was watching TV and choked on a chicken bone then passed out while his dog barked at him.

Rescue dogs are for we serfs to adopt, doncha know? The Messiah is exempt. Just like having pizza delivered to the White House from St. Louis. Where are the AlGorite climate change tools on that swift move?

It's all right. The puppy is related to the Kennedys:

Now here's where the Kennedys come into play. The kennel has sold the Kennedys three Portuguese Water Dogs in the past, all from the same lineage. The dog the Obamas will be getting is from the same lineage as the Kennedy dogs. The Kennedy family will be presenting the new dog to the Obamas, but it's really coming from the kennel.

Portuguese Water Dog

Obama has style, remember? And the messiah deserves only the best - like St. Louis pizza. /sarcasm

Finally they are getting the dog. Now we have a week of watching the dog on the news and then fade.

Just imagine ... if Teddy Kennedy had a Portuguese Water Dog when he was younger, he might have had a chance to be President!
