Congratulations to the Mutt
“With respect to the dog, this is a major issue. I think it’s generated more interest on our website than just about anything. We have — we have two criteria that have to be reconciled. One is that Malia is allergic, so it has to be hypo-allergenic. There are a number of breeds that are hypo-allergenic. On the other hand, our preference would be to get a shelter dog. But obviously, a lot of shelter dogs are mutts, like me.” President-elect Barack Obama, quoted in the New York Times.

Good to see a new post. I would love to see another Welsh terrier in the White House, but I should be careful what I wish for—don’t want the breed to become too popular. A terrier mix, maybe. Not a hairless dog!
