Oh really? Wonder why, maybe it was felt that because pet adoptions aren't really recommended during the holidays, the WH wouldn't be setting a good example? Which also seems a bit silly. Oh well after Christmas is fine too.
I think she said the puppy wouldn't be old enough until then. That's what she told the kiddies at the White House Christmas thingy. (I forget the name of the event.)
I think Miz Beasley has to go to puppy school first.
Someone mentioned that on another thread. I guess it makes sense. It would sure be tough to train a puppy in the White House at all, much less Christmas.
There sure are a lot of things a new puppy could mess up there!
Not your average houseful of stuff!
