From what I understand, he has a special relationship with the rescue organization that gave him his second dog. My guess is he would want a cat that is comfortable being around dogs, not all cats are.

where Major came from. But I could also see the benefit of working with a DC shelter or the outstanding shelters in Arlington or Alexandria. I wonder if they might adopt during "kitten season" (which will soon be upon us) and highlight the need for spay/neuter.

Maybe they are waiting for a special time as a way to send a broader message.

President Biden should get one of those.

Oh wait,... I think I am mixing things up with Pence's wife.

back and forth to DC. Trump (being the animal hater he was) condemned Pence for his pet saying he was low class for having a pet rabbit. The one thing I like about Pence is that pet rabbit and he didn't let Trump stop him from bringing Bundo along.👍

Or they're just letting the dogs settle into their new digs before introducing a cat.

I cannot get anything to copy and.past from that blog, but for whatever reason in early 2017, that WH photographer was not using Flickr.

I'm happy to report, that I will adjust
