Obama and the puppy saga

written by: Natalie Wade | Thursday, November 13th, 2008 | Politics

We watched two years of coverage, were on the edge of our seats for all the debates, weighed each candidate on the issues and stood in line to vote. And it’s FINALLY over. 

Yes, we still have to find out who he names for his cabinet and all that applies, but right now we get a break from all the serious stuff. All I really want to know is whether Sasha and Malia will be getting a pound puppy or a top o’ the line, expensive pure breed. I almost feel I’ve been sucked into their desire for a puppy since I first heard about it. And I almost felt sorry for them, what if YOUR dad said, “You can have a puppy when I become president of the United States.” Cruel, huh?

But for these two little girls it came to fruition and I can’t wait for the pictures of the future first daughters with their hypoallergenic puppy. It’s lame and WAY less important than who the President-elect picks as secretary of defense, homeland security or some other equally important position, but my brain can’t handle anymore stress on serious politics. The past two years have been a drain. So, with those things considered, I’m allowing myself to be a lame-o and Wikipedia ‘hypoallergenic dogs’ to narrow down the breeds.

I just hope this puppy doesn’t attack like W.’s Scottish terrier Barney did.

Natalie!
Hah..this is great! I mean at first I thought, why is he more concerned about this puppy than that all important day in January that is coming so quickly. But I find myself talking about the hypo-allergenic scenario..about what dog that is and how I did not even know there was such a thing! At least now we can stop hearing about Sarah Palin’s choice of clothing or blackheads on her magazine cover!
