By SnifflesWe cats don't usually write about dogs, but this morning we'd like to say, "Good for you, Joe Biden."
That's because we hear that in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, the host of "This Week" twitted the Vice President-elect for wanting to add a "pound dog" to the family as a companion for the Bidens' new German Shepherd puppy (above left).
"Very politically correct," the unctuous Mr. Stuffin' Envelopes said.
Mr. Biden begged to differ. His family had always had pound animals, he countered. Including a pound cat.
"Pound cat"? Well, we guess, then, that we bloggers were also pound cats. Meaning, of course, that we were rescued from a shelter. We had all been given up by previous owners; one of us was about a week away from the gas chamber. But all our stories had happy endings — which we guess is a good thing for us and for the blogosphere.
Therefore, in the spirit of the season, we'd like to urge families across America to consider adopting a pound cat or dog. Don't do it during the holidays, when you're busy celebrating and your house is in an uproar. Make the decision carefully and plan for it. Then, after the first of the year, head out to your local shelter and save a little furry face. It'll be a great way to kick off 2009.
