Someone pointed out to me that the Clintons had a cat named Socks. So there has been a first cat before at least.

About the cost of getting the dogs and the Secret Service involvement?

I wonder how much they are allowed to roam inside? It could take them a long time to explore that entire building and sniff out any lingering stink of the trumps.

I have a serious dog obsession! Just seeing a story (tweet) about them getting to the WH--that there would BE a story about them--raises my emotions! Dogs themselves (known by some as the nation within a nation) are just the best. Period.

We lost our 15-year-old German shepherd last May and still miss her so much. It will be wonderful to see these two cute guys running around the White House lawn and enjoying the comforts of living there. I'm so, so happy to see dogs (AND a cat, which they recently adopted!) as part of the presidential family again.

Oh wait. That's all in plain sight so the puppers can just go play hide and seek with Secret Service agents.....

They do have a lot of scent marking to do there. The last animal to leave a scent was an orange shitgibbon.

tRump apparently hates animals but if he did have dogs, he would put them on salary as S.S. employees....
