Now, I see nothing wrong with them, just as I see nothing wrong with the photo Newsmax showed to pretend that Biden has a ‘junkyard’ dog. But it could certainly be argued that Nixon’s dogs were just as ‘unkempt’ in the moment.
One other thing I probably should tell you because if we don’t they’ll probably be saying this about me too, we did get something-a gift-after the election. A man down in Texas heard Pat on the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog. And, believe it or not, the day before we left on this campaign trip we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was.
It was a little cocker spaniel dog in a crate that he’d sent all the way from Texas. Black and white spotted. And our little girl-Tricia, the 6-year old-named it Checkers. And you know, the kids, like all kids, love the dog and I just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we’re gonna keep it.
1952, so a dog’s lifetime before Nixon reached the Presidency.
They need two cats now - one purebred and one mutt cat each. (Sometimes purebreds are put up for rescue, which is why I didn’t used “rescue” instead of “mutt”.)
i think you’re probably right about preferring tribal names first, but all the Indian people i have ever met also use the term “Indian” frequently as well, but that could be one of those things where within the culture you can get away with using an honestly offensive term, but if you’re outside the culture then just don’t, please.
