Personally, I'm hoping Teddy Kennedy gives the Obamas a PWD. That's what he has, and I'm sure he's smart enough to get his dogs from a good breeder. THAT would get the Obamas off the hook about getting one from a shelter. These are people who do not need a dog with a checkered background or rescue issues. Don't yell at me. I support rescue faithfully. Fran Henry On Feb 25, 2009, at 5:01 PM, grnram415@xxxxxxx wrote: > I will bet the Portugese Water Dog rescues are lining up right now.? > That will be one lucky dog.?
