I am LOVING seeing Champ and Major running and frolicking on the WH lawn!!
If you haven't checked out First Dogs of the United States, the official twitter feed of Champ and Major Biden, please do! It is hilarious and heartwarming.
I'm still waiting for the First Cat! ? However, it is wonderful that there are two lovely dogs in the WH!
Not quite sure if this is news in your part of the globe, but Larry, the chief mouser of Downing Street 10, is celebrating 10 years on the job.
This video will put a smile on your face https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYdRverwbqU ❤️
"Although Larry is generally unfriendly towards men, he did not seem to mind Obama."
Animals KNOW
"getting caught in a scuffle with a pigeon." ?
I thought I read the Bidens were getting a cat.
Yup, that was this scuffle;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqF4q9mjW-E
Yes I read that too, hence my remark! I want that WH cat! ? ?
Sad news
The Biden's Champ has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.
RIP good dog.
@polarberry @lovendures it is sad. But, isn't it good to have humans in the WH who are capable of loving someone like Champ, and also of being heartbroken at his passing?

Your post, which I love, reminds me of a photo I saw yesterday of Biden with a 94 year old woman who walked 1500 miles to campaign for Juneteenth. The compassion in his eyes. The touch of his hand on hers.
@jeanne-mayell One thing I’ve noted about Biden is the exact opposite of what I noticed about every photo of the former guy.
There is genuineness in his eyes. It’s broad but it encompasses everything. Genuine kindness. Genuine caring. Genuine empathy.
I would not have been excited about a Biden candidacy in 2016 and I wasn’t excited about a Biden candidacy in the primaries for 2020 - but holy hell this guy seems to have been born for the exact purpose of our time. It just exudes off of him.
@dannyboy yes, so well put! We got the most genuinely compassionate politician in the top job right after the most genuinely psychopathic one. It is mind boggling when I step back and take that in. Our wondrous universe.
I saw pictures of Champ as a puppy. So adorable you could hardly stand it! ?
Lucky dog to have been the pet of people like the Bidens.
My wish is for every dog (and cat!) to find their forever humans and live a wonderful life.
I write this as my furchild is lying next to me, sighing heavily and trying to stare me down because it's 9 AM and I won't take her out in an impending thunderstorm to play fetch. ?
Found out today that another of our dogs has cancer. Just went through this last year and had to put our fireplace-hogging boy down.
Prognosis isn't good. She's younger, only 7. I'd never not have dogs, house would just feel so wrong, but man, it sucks when a bad diagnosis hits. We've had her since she was a puppy. Pound rescue.
I just feel like there's nothing good in the world right now. There is, of course, but I'm not feeling it. ?
@polarberry So sorry to hear about your little fur baby. Saying a prayer for you all.
@polarberry I’m so sorry. My heart goes out to you. Sending you a huge hug. ?
@polarberry I'm so sorry. The world does feel bleak, but your pooch has known love, and you made her life better when you rescued her. She made your life better too. Sometimes we can only hold on to the love, especially when events are so outside our control. I'll be sending prayers to your little one.
Thanks everyone. ?
We'll know more soon. She goes back in in a few days to discuss the findings and our options.
Finally was able to throw away the bed of our guy we lost last year. It was well-worn and well-loved. Really miss his big fat furry butt.
