This is my first blog posting on this website. I wanted to welcome the Obamas to the White House. The White House belongs to all of us and we choose who gets to live in it. I am honored beyond belief to have the Obamas do just that.
I am also anxious to follow the selection of the new pup. I am a huge lover of dogs and I do a lot of work in basset hound rescue. My personal blog is:

This is going to be so much fun. I am so excited. Thank you for this wonderful site. What a nice thing to do for the USA!

The Obama family needs a greyhound in the White House. Thousands are discarded yearly, so this would be a 'shelter' dog, needing rescue. They are perfect for people with allergies. They are quiet and don't bark, so wouldn't interrupt any major decisions being made. They don't shed a lot, so the White House furniture would not be destroyed. They look as gorgeous in public, as the Obama family, and so would fit right in, though Obama may have to budget for the greyhound's clothing. This Greyhound Guide tells more about what they are like as pets. A Washington, DC local greyhound rescue organization can answer questions and more.
I. and others in Greyhound Rescue, know we change the world for the better, one greyhound adopted at a time. We know "we must be the change we want to see" (Gandhi). We know President-Elect Obama is the change we need.
