The White House's dog days haven't returned just yet

CNN
By Kate Bennett and Paul LeBlanc

The new administration is working doggedly in its first days in office, but President Joe Biden's four-legged companions aren't joining in just yet.

Biden's dogs have not yet moved into the White House, a source familiar told CNN, but the pups are anticipated to arrive at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue soon

The family's pair of German shepherds, Champ and Major, will restore the time-honored tradition of keeping pets in the White House after former President Donald Trump opted against one.

Champ joined the Biden family during the presidential transition in December 2008, weeks after Biden had become vice president-elect.

They were going to adopt a cat.
I imagine they have to carefully select the cat to make sure he is okay around dogs.
