@JerseyGrrrl: They're not all fancy expensive dogs. (A) this could be a puppy. (B) A friend of mine found a 3 month old chihuahua that looked just like this one running loose in traffic a few months ago in LA and took her home. I'm down with saving shelter dogs, totally, but the definition of said dogs isn't limited to mutts. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@JerseyGrrrl: I volunteer at the shelter, and I see plenty of chihuahua's. Trust, there are many out there that need homes, albeit not as many as other breeds, like Pits.

However, this is how we narrate our Persian cats (which we got off Craigslist). #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@pmarble: Oh I know! It's possible to find the fanciest of breeds in need of a good home. People purchase pets and then, realizing they require care, abandon them. My aunt has a purebred poodle rescued from a shelter and my best friend a gorgeous Himalayan cat from a shelter. I was meaning to mock the snobbery associated with people buying animals the way they buy designer accessories.

That being said, mutts are more my style, but I don't judge anyone who opens her heart to a stray. Just people who drive an industry of puppy mills while shelter animals continue to be euthanized. It's something I feel very strongly about. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@JerseyGrrrl: Chihuahuas end up in shelters, too. They just tend to get adopted quicker because they are small dogs, so you don't see them there for long. And lots of chihuahuas get dumped by people who have kids because they are fragile or react badly initially around a baby. Not every chihuahua out there was bought for thousands. I have a rescued one sitting on my lap as I type. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@EkaterinaBallerina: I've *heard* that the shaking that teacups do is not actually a reaction to the cold, but some sort of nervous gesture bred in from creating such a small dog. Which doesn't really lessen the crappiness either way.

Of course, I know very little about purebred dogs, so I don't know for sure. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@Kivrin:

A friend of mine who works for the Pennsylvania ASPCA told me most of the breeders of these new designer dogs in her state (cockapoos, labradoodles, puggles, etc) keep their female dogs pumping out one litter after another for their whole lives and then put them down when they're too old to breed. Even the "responsible" breeders do this. Its horribly cruel. Next time adopt a dog and save a life. #ashleyjudd

@Kivrin: The whole story, in case you're interested: Previous owner got my cockapoo as a puppy. Seven years later, previous owner's daughter was given a German Shepherd puppy as a gift. Shep grew to be 100 lbs and terrorized cockapoo, took away toys, ate all the food; cockapoo was miserable. Previous owner didn't want to make her daughter give away the Shep, so she started looking for a new home for cockapoo, where the sweet pupster could be the only-dog again…and that's where I came in. So I did, in fact, adopt my dog, and I significantly improved her life in the process.

So there.

@Oryx Hearts Crake: The misdeeds of a few doesn't make all 'designer dogs' and breeding of dogs bad. My dog is the daughter of my husband's (he was a boyfriend at the time) who is the son of his sister's dog. Though I've never bred mine, his family has been extremely responsible with it. The people I know who've "had puppies" have had one, maybe two litters and gotten their dogs spayed.

I get what you're saying, and I think you have noble intentions. But I think this sounds too much like "you're so selfish to have biological children when there are children out there already who need families." It's not a solution to the problem of people who don't spay/neuter just as adoption doesn't fix the problem of people who are unable to care for their children due to poverty, illness, war, etc. #ashleyjudd

Sorry about making that assumption.

I have four rescue dogs (yes, I'm a crazy old dog lady) and two of them are pure breds that were dumped at the pound by the owners once they got too big.

My friends at the ACC told me they get a lot of labradoodles because the buyers never expected them to get so big. (Those dogs get BIG.) Fortunately they mostly get adopted out pretty quick. #ashleyjudd

@TastyBites: Actually my dogs aren't the only ones that are neutered. My husband got neutered too (a vasectomy) after we were done having kids. (The last one was a welcome surprise but that was it for me!!!)

They should have some place where you can get both your husband (or boyfriend) and dogs neutered at the same time.

A neutered man is a much better behaved man. Just like a neutered dog.

@Oryx Hearts Crake: Ooh, that's a good gig; I should look into that. I volunteer with a group that focuses on rescuing animals in domestic violence situations—e.g., a woman who is planning to leave her abuser can call this organization, and they will find temporary foster homes for the animals while the woman gets settled. Such a cool organization; so glad it exists locally.

I also seem to attract lost/stray dogs, so I scoop them up and track down owners, take them to shelter if necessary. (Husband jokingly accuses me of "dognapping" them, since I'm often required to put them in my car to rescue from busy streets, etc. I do not take kindly to this joking!) #ashleyjudd

@Kivrin: When I lived in New York City when I was younger my girlfriends and I would take the stray dogs we found in Prospect Park and elsewhere (mostly pit bulls) to the dog pounds in the rich suburbs out in Long Island and Connecticut where they are practically guaranteed of getting adopted (instead of taking them to the overcrowded city shelters).

I'm surprised more people haven't picked up on that trick.

@Oryx Hearts Crake: The designer dog puppy millers are awful. My new pup was from a labradoodle/poodle mill (she's a poodle herself). The breeder hadn't meant to breed straight poodles that time, it had been an accident, so she was pissed about it. She wasn't able to sell my baby (because she has a white spot on her chest, which apparently makes her less desirable?! I don't even pretend to understand) so she was going to keep her a breeder, too, before she got shut down and all her dogs went to shelters and other rescues.

I love my puppy to bits, but some of her neuroses make me just cry because I know they stem from just complete awfulness. She's scared of plastic bags since the dead dogs and puppies were put in them, she's scared of being touched from the back since she used to be dragged forcibly out of her crate that way, the whole kennel was debarked so she's unused to noises... Still, she does better and better every day. I'm training her to be a therapy dog, actually, where she'd go to a hospital to cheer up sick kids. It's a really great program with astounding results- after visits, a lot of the kids need less pain medication, and just recently a coma patient woke up and instantly bonded with a corgi that had visited him the whole time he was there. #ashleyjudd

Maybe this was dumb of me, but I'm (happily!) surprised that Bo is allowed all over the House. I guess I sort of thought that White House pets weren't like regular pets and were maybe relegated to certain areas only. As I said, I am happy to learn that my assumption was wrong. It's nice that the First Dog is still a real part of the family, like any regular pet. I just got back from my house; I go home every day around lunchtime to let him out to pee and all, and now I want to go back home so I can smell his delicious ears some more.

I haven't subjected our dog to this, even though the one time the vet did it he didn't seem to mind. It's not all the time, and it usually only happens when he's asleep, but sometimes if he barks really suddenly it sort of sprays out. I've caught him licking it up so many times and I cannot for the life of me figure out how something that smells so bad can possibly taste good. So anyway now that you're done vomiting, maybe you could tell me where I get this bran stuff? #barackobama

@thecameralovesyou: Thank you. If your suggestion can help combat this very smelly issue, I will personally bake you a box cake and send it to you. Or if you're too far away geographically, I will just mail you the box of cake mix and a can of frosting. #barackobama

@thecameralovesyou: Excellent. Tell me, do you like the Funfetti frosting, with its bits of unidentifiable-yet delicious-colored matter? Because that seems like an appropriately festive thank-you gift, if you're interested. #barackobama

@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: I like anything that starts with frost and ends with ing. That's me. I used to say that I'd prefer cake if it was reversed, with the majority being icing and the rest is cake. #barackobama

@thecameralovesyou: i can't believe you said that (in a good way)!!! my husband and i have always thought we were the only ones to notice that our oldest dog's toes smell like corn chips. we also thought that it might be specific to this dog (our other one does not have the same smell on his feet). is this a thing? do other people know? #barackobama

@dr.seabreeze: Oh MANY people know. On dogster apparently people talk about it a lot (if you follow my link above to the page where a vet explains why the frito paw happens, he mentions that he gets asked about it a lot). And all of my friends all have dogs with frito paws! Join the club (note: there is no actual club that i know of) #barackobama

I heard he did this to Ahmedinejad in order to get him to the bargaining table. From the headlines, it looks like Mahmoud is due for another belly rub.

If Bo is anything like my Louie, he will flash some major sad eyes if he doesn't get some good butt scratchin' out of this as well. #barackobama

Though the GOP is trying to position itself as the winner today, the real winner is the DOG.

I want to see that dog's birth certificate! Is he an American citizen? WE MUST HAVE AN AMERICAN DOG IN THE WHITE HOUSE. #barackobama
