1. What is with the laugh-track?

Sounds like a bad 70's sitcom?!

9. You got that right...
I always wondered why TV supplied the laugh track. Isn't that kinda like laughing
at your own joke? It is really annoying.. Gawd, can you imagine going though life
with a studio audience reacting to everything you did? Ewwwww.. get that out of my head!!

8. They CAN have whatever they want, dog-wise!
Sure feel sorry for O + M, who now have to deal not only with the girls but with the rest of the world, on this issue!

19. Umm - the girls have severe allergies - that would preclude MOST dogs...
altho that would still leave a lot of hypoalergenic dogs to choose from...

Here's to the new First Family, regardless if they get a girly, yappy dog or a big, rambunctious yappy dog or a camel or an orangutan!

21. God - I HATE yappy dogs!
I always wondered if it was more of a reflection of the owner than the dog, tho...

Nothing worse than an annoying fucking yappy dog - I just want to STEP on 'em...(I'm kidding! - but not by much)...

10. Not wise to go down the girly route thing, better to say not your preference. Kind of her to offer >
Edited on Wed Nov-26-08 09:34 PM by cooolandrew
though. The hypo allergenic thing does mean quite a lot in the category aren't particularly macho. In fairness Barack would suit a tough dog.

13. Standard Poodles hypo-allergenic and quite macho. A bit too macho at times.
Portuguese Water Dogs also hypo-allergenic without the unfair "poodle" baggage.

I say this as a Standard Poodle's person.

17. Hunter
Our Standard Poodle is a good hunter and has snagged her fair share of rabbits.

27. That's their heritage alright. My Standard would just love to hunt but I won't let her
Around here she realllly wants to bring home some deer! They make her crazy but she has to satisfy herself with beating up on our German Shepherd (they adore each other so he tolerates her abuse).

Poodles are the best.

Lhasa Apso male. They called him Cujo.

25. Lhasa's are Tibetan Lion Dogs....................
Cujo is suitable.

My ex used to say about Shuma, my Lhasa - "Dunno if I'm gonna get bit or shit on...." :P

20. I love this man,
and I share his preference for big dogs.

The only big dog I can think of, offhand, that's hypoallergenic, is a standard poodle. Since he specifies "rambunctious," I'd recommend a poodle mix, such as a labradoodle. Retrievers have the temperament he specifies, and are the kindest, most saintly dogs to have around children.

Good luck finding one in a rescue, though.

Even if the girls insist on a "girly dog," there's no law limiting a household to one dog.

23. He's thinking the same thing a million other dads have thought throughout history...
What kind of dog am I going to be walking at 2am with the runs...cuz you know he'll do it if he needs to.

Except he's thinking about it on the White House lawn. And he's thinking, It's our dog, no secret service agent's gonna do that. And he will be picking up the poop after.

I'm thinking black standard poodle with a butch haircut (no puff balls, just short, like Barack's).

Gotta love the guy!
