I wish there was a button you could push that would make a noise so they'd wake up and be more proactively cute.

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.)

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,....

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.
