I cast my vote there, too .

ETA: Right now, getting a "first mutt" from the pound is in the lead. PETA has urged him to go with a dog from the pound, rather than from a breeder or pet store, saying that a Mutt would show the new diversity of the white house. However, you can get a pure-bred dog from the pound as well - Lucky was a rescue and is pure-bred American Eskimo. IMO, he's a better pull from Alaska than Sarah Palin . That's why everyone should vote for Lucky in 2012!

I would like you to consider making my Alaskan Malamute, Samantha, the VP candidate. She is blind, so she would be the first blind VP. She will be 12 in 2012. She was rescued and the recipient of free eye surgery from the Alaskan Malamute Assistance League for her cataracts but suffers now from detached retinas.

Seriously though, I have visions of a puppy being housetrained in the White House "NO! Not on the rug in the Lincoln Room!" LOL

Lucky will be 19 in 2012. I'm one optimistic mother today.

ETA: Isn't it sad how many beautiful dogs are maltreated and unwanted? I can't imagine anyone ever having beaten our beautiful Luckers, yet it's true. End hijack. Elections make me ponder many of life's great mysteries.
