1. K&R!

[BillTee]

2. Great to have a normal president.

...besides that I have a German Sheperd also...great breed.

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

3. If it's not a German Shepherds it is not a dog.

I know not really but the breeder I got my two Shepherds had that on her website many years ago.

[A HERETIC I AM]

8. I beg your pardon?!?

LOL....

I would absolutely love to see a Boston Terrier in the White House. After all, that was the Official Bicentennial Dog!

My ol' bud Mr. BB would have been a gracious host;



Plus he would have fit right in with the Secret Service!



I jest, of course. It makes me smile ear to ear to know that we have a real family of loving people living there and a President who knows how to do the job, is competent and actually loves animals.

They could have a pet Wallaby, for all I care!

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

10. Ahhh, Mr. BB is so adorable!

Nah, despite the fact I favor German Shepherds I like most dog breeds. Those little Boston have an adorable personality. They are bold little critters.

[A HERETIC I AM]

12. I'll tell ya what, he didn't take any crap, that's for sure!

He crossed the Rainbow Bridge back in 2004 and I miss him every single day.

He just simply loved everyone, and didn't have a mean bone in his body, but as I said, he didn't put up with any shit and wasn't afraid of anything!

A friend had a Wolf/Shepherd mix that was pretty big, and when it was outside, she kept it on a chain. BB was walking away from him and the big dog snuck up and nipped BB on the hindquarters!

Well, my little guy, who was outweighed by that big dog by at least 100 pounds, turned in a split second and went after him! I mean, barking and snarling like I had never seen! The Shepherd freaked out, probably not expecting it, and backed off, cowering!

Mr. Beau Brummel was awesome.

He made fast friends easily, loved children and loved to have a good time.

My nephew has 2 Shepherds and they are both excellent dogs, so I absolutely see the appeal of the breed. But I'm partial to dogs, full stop! I like cats just fine, but with a few exceptions, I'll take a dog over a cat!

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

15. Yup, there is that boldness I have always seen in them.

I would not mind at all being owned by a Boston.

[Texasgal]

28. The first American bred DOG!

Perfect for the White House some day!

[A HERETIC I AM]

30. Indeed!

Been waiting a long time to see one on the South Lawn!

[Delmette2.0]

52. I have been hoping to see them in the Oval Office!

I love how they are right at home where ever POTUS is.

[Pongo]

41. Those are great dogs!

I’m a dog lover from forever.

[Butterflylady]

54. Looks like he's part of the Secret Service.

[A HERETIC I AM]

55. I used the "Can I haz Cheesburger" website and made one that said....

"Secret Service Dog Haz Hiz Eyes On You!" but I misplaced it somewhere on the interwebs!

BB was cool.

He had a cat. Here he is with Fred;



They were buds.

[Scottie Mom]

47. If it's not a SCOTTISH TERRIER...

....it's not a dog!

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

48. Ahhh, those cute Scottys.

Adorable attitudes.

[Scottie Mom]

49. YES!

And...thank you!

[AdamGG]

66. There have already been some of those in the White House

FDR's Scottie Fala & Dumbya's dogs.

[BigmanPigman]

4. They are already completely at home...all 3 of them.

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

5. Champ just lays there looking so regal.

He is fit for the oval office.

Major has that well behaved but "when are we going to play?" look on his face.

[DeminPennswoods]

22. Champ's an old boy - 14

nt

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

25. A handsome old chap.

[ZonkerHarris]

56. Seems like Champ just wants to be wherever Joe is. Major is up for anything with anyone but

you can see the bond between Champ and Joe

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

65. I feel that Joe is safe with Champ.

Champ is is personal body guard.

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

6. Hey, not to be off subject but where are pictures of our first kitty?

First kitty is important. Who do you think is really running this country?

[A HERETIC I AM]

9. LOL!

I got these shots from this tweet, so your guess is as good as mine re: the kit cat!

7. I hope they DEEP cleaned that sofa after smellyanne's feet were all over it.

So GOOD to have class and decency back. The White House is beautiful again.

[erronis]

45. I'm thinking the whole WH was disinfected and deodorized after the trumpies were there.

Dogs have sensitive noses, you know.

The security agencies would have normally run a complete bug sweep on transition. Hope they also vacuumed up the louses, lices, trumpies, kushnettles, etc.

[keithbvadu2]

11. Are those Trump's gold drapes?

Are those Trump's gold drapes?

[A HERETIC I AM]

13. No. They belong to the White House. The same ones that were installed when Clinton was President.

I get what you are saying, but.......

There is an interesting story behind those drapes.

Do those gold silk curtains in President Biden’s Oval Office look familiar?

They should. They were designed for Bill Clinton’s Oval Office in 1993 by Little Rock decorator Kaki Hockersmith. But they have turned out to be one of the constants in our democracy, gracing the most powerful windows in the land during the administrations of four of the past five presidents.

Talk about a backdrop to history.

From a story in The Washington Post

[Demsrule86]

40. I hate those flashy drapes...Trump has no taste. I love the dogs though!

[Gore1FL]

14. That is beautiful! nt

[jalan48]

16. Wonderful to see. Real feeling back in the White House.

[MustLoveBeagles]

17. They're supervising

It's wonderful seeing pets in the Whitehouse again.

[Dawson Leery]

18. Shame on that deplorable mongrel from Newsmax who villifed Champ.

[A HERETIC I AM]

21. How disgusting is that?

I mean, seriously!

I know people have column inches to fill, and often need to generate a story when there is none, but come on!

It always amazes me when I read right wingers commenting how the left just hated Trumpy because it was as if we had nothing else to do today, so whatever!

It's like...are you fucking blind?

Never, and I mean NEVER trust a man that doesn't like animals.



E V E R.

[tavernier]

53. Champ is close to 80 in our years.

Republicans don’t mind spreading around Covid, not concerned about killing off the old folks. So I’m not surprised that they consider old dogs ugly... maybe they put them down once they are no longer cute puppies.

[AdamGG]

67. When he played that clip, Seth Meyers asked

if the "max" in Newsmax is supposed to be ironic.

[Guilded Lilly]

19. Warm fuzzy and safe feeling!...

I grew up with German Shepards in my house. Felt safe, loved and comforted.
I’m a feline worshipper in my adult life and physical restraints keep me from adding a big big dog to my family, but I feel great about Champ and Major being in the peoples’ house!

[peacebuzzard]

20. I love this!!!Yes I missed it!l

thanks for posting these heart warming images....

[progressoid]

23. I love that Newsmax is getting dragged for their lame attacks on these puppers.

Newsmax Host and Guests Skewered After Mocking President Biden's Senior Dog, Champ

"He’s in better shape than any of you — and smarter than all of you combined," said Keith Olbermann.

Newsmax host Greg Kelly and his guests felt the wrath of Twitter users and even another network news program after they randomly mocked President Biden’s dog, Champ, on Friday.

“Did you see the dog?” Kelly asked on his show, referring to Champ, the Bidens' 12-year-old German shepherd. “Doesn’t he look a little, uh, a little rough? I love dogs, but this dog needs a bath and a comb and all kinds of love and care. I’ve never seen a dog in the White House like this.”

Kelly's guests also took shots at Champ, and their random attacks did not go over well; social media users were quick to respond.

"Quick message to @gregkellyusa @newsmax @CraigSmpa and @DougWead: Fuck You. This is a 12-year old German Shepherd - a senior dog. And you’re insulting his APPEARANCE? He’s in better shape than any of you - and smarter than all of you combined," Keith Olbermann wrote.

24. Love it!

Well done, Brian Williams!

Thanks for putting that up!

[progressoid]

26. Sometimes Williams gets on my nerves but this was a nice clean smack down.

[LudwigPastorius]

27. That's just out of line, going after the president's devoted dog like that.

I mean, we never made fun of Devin Nunes' appearance.

[progressoid]

32. Hahahaha!

Ba Dum Tsss

[KS Toronado]

43. When Qpublicans are reduced to attacking Biden with made up stories about dog care.....

You know their basket of dirty tricks is empty. Next 4 years will show us how low they can go.

[ffr]

29. I'm going to K&R this twice. K&R!

One for each of them!

Such sharp contrast to the regime crime boss that was there before. You know the one. The lumpy looking POS that went out with his tail between his legs, head hung facing the ground. The treasonous insurrection instigating POS with the orange colored face.

[Talitha]

31. The Oval Office is back!

LOVE the way these guys love being with 'Pop'.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

33. Champ and Major are such beauties.

Love seeing them,and Biden.

[Raine]

34. I love ❤ love ❤ love ❤ those dogs 🐶 🐶 ... Thanks for the pix! 🙂 nt

[Demovictory9]

35. love it

[North Shore Chicago]

36. Dogs!

make everything better!

If Joe needs to know the content of character of any of his guests, the pups should be in the room.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

37. The President with our National Security overlords.

In place of Space Force, we proudly have Canine Force!

I have a feeling those two are now official Secret Service mascots..... ......

Thanks for posting those great photos.

[ismnotwasm]

38. Love this!!!!!

[Wild blueberry]

39. Dogs know good humans

Nice to see! My dog approves.
Thanks for posting this.

[RainCaster]

42. GSD's rule

[CaptainTruth]

44. I want to know the dogs' daily schedules!

Clearly they attend meetings, but is there time for treats? Naps? Running on the lawn?

[demtenjeep]

46. those are some long legs

on all 3

[piddyprints]

50. Oh wait ...

isn't that one of the dogs who is supposedly so ill-cared-for? You know, the gentlemanly old brown and black one who looks so regal?

Those are two gorgeous, loved puppers. I love seeing pets in the White House again.

[calimary]

51. Did he have the rug changed?

I don’t remember a blue rug in the Oval when trump occupied that office. He had everything in gold.

Hope Biden switches the gold drapes, too. Blue would be good there as well.

[CottonBear]

61. The drapes were changed. President Biden chose to use President Clinton's gold drapes.

[Evolve Dammit]

57. Champ is getting on (14 is old for a GS) but seems very content and Major is young & eager.

[LaMouffette]

58. Thank you for these beautiful pix! My two GSD babies, may they rest in peace, could have been twins

to Champ and Major.

Every time I see pictures of the "First Pups," my heart just . . . you know. No words to describe.

[AllaN01Bear]

59. the first puddy dawgs . says aww. dont they have a cat too?

[BobTheSubgenius]

60. Beautiful animals!!!

I bet my friend M is already all over the Bidens' dogs. She is SO into GSDs that she has a head shot tattooed above her L breast.

I think that's going a bit far, but at least she isn't into snakes or tarantulas.

[trof]

62. I love German Shepherds.

We've had four, over the years.
They are brilliant.
Damn near human.

[Poiuyt]

63. I'd never get any work done

If a foreign leader came to the office, I'd just be saying, "Who's a good boi?"

[spooky3]

64. If you want TWO friends in Washington, DC,

these are the next-to-the-best kind (after cats .
