Yesterday at his press conference, Obama answered many questions and addressed the puppy issue.
This is a continuation of the diary I had Thursday stating that I hoped the Obamas would consider getting their puppy from a shelter. Many of you commented that Michelle had already said they were trying to get a shelter dog.
It seemed like there was some interest in animal issues, so I thought I would write about it again after the press conference.
While those of you commented saying you heard Michelle mention previously that they were going to try to get a shelter dog. Nothing like the President-elect saying it at a press conference.
I know he doesn't read our diaries, so I send this out into the universe- THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for mentioning shelter dogs.
Who knows how many animals will be saved just by Obama mentioning the word shelter.
