2. Glad Major has a new friend and little brother.

[quakerboy]

42. Pretty sure Major went off to live

with another family. Someone posted that article yesterday, I think.

[rogue emissary]

44. Last I saw Major was in Delaware, didn't know he was placed with another family.

[quakerboy]

3. I was just thinking the other day it was time for them to get another dog. Glad to see it

[mcar]

4. Look at the paws on that baby!

He's going to be a big Commander.

[abqtommy]

5. Look at those ears! He's got the ball and is daring anyone to catch him! nt

[Irish_Dem]

6. Look at those ears.

That dog might go airborne.

[TNNurse]

11. Those ears might help that.

[2naSalit]

16. That's what I thought!

[Irish_Dem]

17. The secret service better put a flight restriction on that puppy.

[2naSalit]

19. More like he'll be...

Picking up top secret signals!

[Irish_Dem]

20. I thought of that too. Puppy will know all the top secret codes

and discussions with those ears.

[tblue37]

7. K&R for the pupper. nt

[PatSeg]

8. Oh, how adorable!

[LeftInTX]

9. Hope you are doing well Tommy!

Thinking of you over the past several days

[Tommy Carcetti]

18. Thanks!

Almost perfectly fine, thank God.

[LeftInTX]

21. Yay! Keep it up!

My daughter survived.
She was fully vaxxed.

[herding cats]

30. Good to hear!

I was just thinking of you and went searching for an update and found this one. Glad you're holding your own against this virus!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

10. cheaper than stimulus checks I guess

[BlackSkimmer]

13. Priorities, doncha know.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

22. Cuter than a war, too, for that matter.

[Elessar Zappa]

28. You think Manchin would support more stimulus checks?

No way.

[onetexan]

12. Did they adopt a new puppy?

[zuul]

15. Yes.

[woodsprite]

37. Commander was a gift from his brother and SIL.

I am so missing puppy love. I was thinking this morning that if I ran into Biden, Jill, and Commander in Rehoboth, I'd say "Hi" to the Bidens, introduce myself, then go right to asking if I could pet their pup

[LoisB]

14. He is a beauty.

[canetoad]

23. Makes me happy

[LaMouffette]

24. Oh my word! I thought I couldn't love the Bidens any more than I already do, and then they go and

get another German Shepherd!!!

And here is a tip for the Bidens in case Commander loves to chase the ball, but will not give the ball up to be thrown again:

1. Get two identical fetch balls.
2. Throw one of them for your pup.
3. If your pup retrieves it, but then starts a game of "keep-away," show him or her the second ball.
4. That second ball will seem a hundred times more fun than the one he or she is holding, so that first one will be promptly spit out.
5. Repeat.

I didn't come up with this trick (probably an old trick, but new to me!) until after our German Shepherds had both passed and other furry kids came into our lives. Wish I had thought of it when they were still with us. Our GSDs were both masters at the game of keep-away!

[crickets]

25. What a cutie!

Huge paws and ears, such a beautiful pup!

[ShazzieB]

26. In case anyone can't see the tweet....

Heeeeeeere's Commander!

[onecaliberal]

27. He's a beauty!

[iluvtennis]

29. Love it! Welcome to the Biden family Commander - you got good humans. n/t

31. Update on Major

Major will live a quieter life now. The White House was not for him.

[ms liberty]

34. Major didn't have the temperament for being in the WH

Amongst that kind of bustle with a lot of strangers and near strangers. Such a beautiful dog,, and very high energy.. He will be a happier dog and this puppy will be trained from the start to handle that environment.

[IronLionZion]

40. With the stress of the white house, I might bite people too

like Manchin or Sinema. I get that Major needs a break.

[UTUSN]

32. K&R for, take good care of Joe and Jill - !

35. Trump will kick this dog. Don't let him anywhere near this animal.

What would be great is if this dog took a chunk of tRumps' fat ass.

[Boomerproud]

38. He would sue.

[niyad]

39. Why would you want Commander to get sick?

[Poiuyt]

41. Such a good boi!
