Random Q -- anyone have the pic of Obama with the little poodle

[SallyMander]

And the background story? I think it was a puppy mill dog that was missing a leg?

Thanks in advance! I want to send it to a friend. :D

10. Excellent! Thank you.

I get all my canine furbabies from shelters or the Humane Society (don't have one now, looking for a new job so things are too chaotic to train a dog properly...like Obama LOL). I am thrilled that he sees puppy mills for what they are!

Again, thanks for the pic and the background. I can never have too much good news about my choice for President. :-)

12. That is not a poodle.... it is a Bichon Frise.

Just pointing that out. I grew up around them, my mother was a big fan. Extremely lovable and fairly dumb lap dogs. Good for families with kids. They were the favorite dog of the French aristocracy. Well, before they lost their heads.

13. LOL! It's a cute dog

The post on Obama's website says it's a poodle: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/weneedobama08/gGggHm

"...before they lost their heads" :rofl:

17. Ya, we had a dog named Bouji

Pronounced BOOJEE. They really are a sweet dog. They're not athletic. They're not smart. But they are definitely lovable and cute. :-)

I own more athletic dogs as an adult. :-)
