Let's see if I have this right. 1. He picked a German shepherd, so people are bitching that he bought from a breeder that is not one of us. 2. Then some bitched that he didn't save a dog from a shelter instead of bying from a breeder, (see 1 above). 3. Then there are those who think just because the dog has Geman in the lines, it was a wrong choice. 4. Then some thought that since the AKC had found some fault with the kennel, the dog was no good. 5. Then we heard that maybe our new vice-president should donate some money to the shelters, that he didn't get a dog from, for some reason that I missed. 6. Then there was a lot of bitching that he picked a German shepherd, (see 1 above); that he is getting a dog from a shelter as a rescue, (see 2 above); now by doing what we wanted, (see 1 and 2 above) he is not doing what we wanted, he is giving in to extremests. Anyone want to bitch that Palin wasn't elected? Now we are upset that he is getting another dog, now from a shelter? Maybe he should have just bought a dog from Jimmie and Sherre. I think that would have made at least two people happy.
