Politics and Dogs

[Donna K & Quincy]

I've been watching some of the US election coverage and I have to say it is making my head spin. As my mind wandered, which it is apt to do at times, I came to a startling revelation. I have to say a big thank you to Barack Obama, not because of anything he has done politically but because of his choice of a dog.

About the time Obama became president I was in the throes of my search for a dog and had pretty much settled on a Portugese Water Dog. The suggested dog for the Obamas was a Doodle but they didn't go that way, they picked a PWD instead. Up to that point I had a picture of a PWD as my laptop background and was working on DH to cave in and say yes we could have a dog. Well as soon as the Obamas picked the PWD, I crossed it off my list thinking that everyone would be wanting one and I wouldn't be able to afford one.

So to make a long story short I did some research and settled on a Goldendoodle although it still took some time to convince DH who didn't really want a dog let alone something called a doodle.

So I have to say a great big thank you to President Obama because of him I have my heart dog, one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I think that DH may just be a little smitten too.

Just as an after thought, if Barack Obama named his dog BO after himself and I had followed suit, my dog's name would be DK- Decay, not the best name for a dog.

Donna, I like this discussion and I am so happy you ended up with sweet Quincy. The right dog does find you :)  I also think Quincy is a much better name than Decay!

Thanks Laurie,

LOL, I've had a migraine for days now and I think the drugs are getting to me. I think I'm a lot like F and have most of my ideas when I am distracted, of course I also have OCF and usually don't remember them which is probably a good thing. I am grateful every day that I have this precious doodle.

Gosh, so many people with migraines on here. That is too bad. Don't know if anyone else has used this, but the prescription drug RELPAX saves my sanity each and every time I get a migraine ! Just thought I'd share.

Hope you feel better very soon Donna !

[Donna K & Quincy]

Thanks Sheila, I'll have to look into that. My DH says I get migraines because I spend so much time on here. :>)

[Bonnie and Kona]

May your dreaded migraine end tonight!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Sorry to hear about the migraine and hope you feel better soon.

[Jennifer and Jack]

Donna you ate too cute!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Thank you Jennifer. :>)

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

Things happen for a reason. I'm also happy that you ended up with wonderful Quincy.

[Donna K & Quincy]

 Thanks Jarka, Quincy makes me happy every day. We were out walking today and I stopped and kissed him on the nose and then wondered do other people do that, the neighbours must think I am completely bonkers. :>)

[Jarka, Monty & Auggie]

Yes, other people (doodle moms) do that as well. You are in good company. Screw  forget the neighbors. :-)

[Leslie and Halas]

I do that all the time.
