Obama's selection criteria should include a propensity toward nipping the fingers of the press corps.

(This would be more entertaining if there were cats...)

Someone e-send Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel my March 2008 Pegasus column; The Best of the Breed. It might start a neo-chic trend of rescuing otherwised doomed hounds. (And make Gubbins happy in the process.)

If the cuteness overwhelms you, maybe you can find some old footage of Wafaa Balil's Domestic Tension (audio slide show) hmmm.....

Ok, and finally... his site.

Far and away the most visceral gut wrenching media I have ever seen while it was live. That oughta rinse the saccharin out.

Travis, bud, I've done stints in video games. I actively campaign "Don't let anyone you love make video games." I instead recommend finding work in the Thai sex-for-hire industry. More respect.

lol, it's a puppy brawl! Love when they do their little yelp.

Also love how they'll all be fighting, then one will randomly start licking the walls. Damn you Orren!

Feeding time! Mom looks sorta pissed.

J-Rice, simply human. Also, I'm home sick today so this will probably account for a couple hours as I slip in an out of sleep.

Oh, ok. Things are ok. You're miserable, so that accounts for it.

If it gets any worse, you will let us know so we can either call EMS or split up your stuff, right?

tGub: Mayhaps, but at least it looks like their environment is a safe and happy one. When I think "breeder", I think a filthy spare bedroom in some hillbilly's house, where the puppies are knee-deep in their own crap.

Puppies are much like politicians. Sure, they look cute at first, but if you watch long enough, you'll realize that they'll crap just about anywhere, will bite each other at the slightest lack of provocation, and spend most of their time either sleeping in a big pile or sucking on someone's teat.

If you think I'm wrong, grab a bottle of vodka and chug 'til I ain't.

Yep,Pav ....you should know, them pups are sweet until they grow up, then they end up carrying a coat hanger around looking for a good meal with a neat human trick, then again I mean by what I say Ecentric Election, read the public and the new age and they are ready to funk and soul as if this is now the U.S.S.R,....

There's some man playing with the puppies, talking baby talk and barking at them.

Ha ha! One just bit him! He yelled, "Ow! Sharp teeth!" Good dog!

It's back, Collin. I think they take it off air periodically to clean the cage or whatever. At this moment there's a puppy riot going on in the foreground while one puppy carefully places a poo in the space between the housebreaking pads.

Okay, some lady (judging by the shoes) is oddly picking up each puppy and holding in front of the camera, like she's showing them off for somebody in particular (a buyer, maybe?). At least she's then doing what I'm sure we all want to do -- petting them and rubbing their bellies. Damn it, I'm getting sucked in again...

Okay, maybe it's a guy, but he must have slathered his feet in meat or something, cause the puppies are licking them like there's no tomorrow.

Girls: - Autumn (Purple collar) - 3 lbs 5.8 oz (as of Nov 11th) - Ayumi (Yellow collar) - 3 lbs 3.4 oz (as of Nov 11th) - Amaya (Red collar) - 3 lbs 6.6 oz (as of Nov 11th)
