First Dog of the United States Champ Biden passed away at the age of 13 on Saturday according to his mother, First Lady Jill Biden.
Our hearts are heavy today as we let you all know that our beloved German Shepherd, Champ, passed away peacefully at home. He was our constant, cherished companion during the last is years and was adored by the entire Biden family. Even as Champ’s strength waned in his last months, when we came into a moon he would immediately pull himself up, his tail always wagging, and nuzzle us for an ear scratch or a belly rub. Wherever we were. he wanted to be, and everything was instantly better when he was next to us. He loved nothing more than curling up at our feet in front of a fire at the end of the day, joining us as a comforting presence in meetings, or sunning himself in the White House garden. In his younger days, he was happiest chasing golf balls on the front lawn of the Naval Observatory or racing to catch our grandchildren as they ran around our backyard in Delaware. In our most joyful moments and in our most grief-stricken days, he was there with us, sensitive to our every unspoken feeling and emotion. We love our sweet, good boy and will miss him always.
Champ was adopted when Joe Biden was the Vice President of the United States. Then he had four years of civilian life before he went from Second Dog to the top dog. While his tenor in the White House was short, his memory will live on through his brother Major.
They say nothing can surprise New Yorkers. For the most part, that is true. However, if you saw a huge cockroach crawling by you holding a cigarette in his mouth, you would be surprised. Not because of the cig, but because it is that huge. We are used to smaller roaches in NY.
I guess the Pizza Rats and Egg Roll Squirrels have moved on, and now the roaches are left eating the scraps. Either that or he just had sex. I am hoping it is the former because NY has enough roaches.
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are expanding their family. Today on Today, they announced that a cat will be joining them in the White House.
“She is waiting in the wings,” First Lady Biden told Craig Melvin.
How does First Dog Major feel about getting a little sister of the feline persuasion? Mrs. Biden says, “That was part of his training. They [Secret Service] took him into a shelter with cats, and he did fine.”
Major did better with cats than he does with the Secret Service, proving they need to be cattier for him to like them. Major had two allegedbiting incidents at his new home. I still say he is innocent.
We don’t know when the newest addition will be joining the White House, but my cat and I can’t wait to meet her.
A police officer from LAPD’s Pacific Division noticed a mother and a father duck needed help getting her six ducklings, who were stuck on the street, up on the sidewalk. Therefore, he went over to them, and one by one, helped them all up to safety.
At first, he had no problem. One, two, three, four, and five welcomed his aid. Then there was Daffy. He was running from the cop like it was duck season. Who knew they were that fast? But they are.
I wonder what that po-po had for din-din yesterday. I am assuming duck soup because he made The Marx Brothers proud the way he was unsuccessfully chasing that baby bird. Where is the Benny Hill music when you need it?
Yesterday was opening day for Major League Baseball at Coors Field for The Rockies, and everything was great going into the 7th inning stretch. But then things got interesting when there was an extra player on the field. Well, not a player, but a cat.
The beautiful grey kitty ran faster than an outfielder, trying to catch a line drive before it is out of there. On that note, why didn’t the outfielders try to capture the feline? Instead, they let a ball gal do it. Proving it takes a woman to do a man’s job.
No word what happened to feline yet, but I hope they make it their mascot.
