If you really wanted a mod to handle this, why didn’t you just contact one of them directly and/or privately? Are you trying to insinuate that you act as a mod routinely because they put you in that position? How strange.

Usually, if you type out a reply and hit submit, that’s on purpose.

I had to run out the door, sorry. And I couldn't edit that in time. I was trying to say I didn't start a debate on purpose. Next time I'll just post the link.

Thank you to Res Judicata for being helpful and tactful. Much appreciated!

Re: White House abuzz as first dog finally arrives

Bo was originally purchased from a breeder that the Kennedys had also bought from (the same litter, in fact). That owner was unable to keep the dog (for whatever reason) and they were under contract to return it to the breeder, which they did. The Kennedys knew the Obamas needed a "hypoallergenic" dog, knew Bo had been returned, and thought he would be a nice gift. They paid for Bo to have training for a month before giving him to the Obamas. The Obamas had been looking for a dog at shelters, but hadn't found one yet, so they accepted the Kennedy's gift. They then gave a donation to the shelter, which in turn was very complimentary to the Obamas and their choice of a dog on their website.
Bo is absolutely adorable, and I look forward to watching his antics on the news!

Re: White House abuzz as first dog finally arrives

Well I hope we don't see much of him. The more he's on the news the more people will want PWD's and the more backyard-breeding types will rejoice as their sales go up.

Let him live a happy, quiet life.
