Portugese Water dog named Splash? What was the Senator [del]drinking[/del] thinking?
Man, the jokes just write themselves.
Sen. Ted Kennedy to publish children’s book
You just can’t make this stuff up, folks.
Whoever told him that a book about a Water Dog named Splash would be a good idea should be fired on the spot. They should have just named the dog Mary Jo and been done with it.
Well, I’ll be damned. I didn’t even see it. Oh, well.
I merged the two threads.
I wonder if Splash will mention July 18, 1969.
I mean, that was only 250 some-odd years ago. In dog years.
One thing we are in agreement on: The jokes just write themselves
I’m guessing nobody in the book is going to go for a swim.
And yeah, the jokes do write themselves. Portuguese Water Dogs, by the way, are they’re hypoallergenic.
Sen. Kerry and his Vietnamese potbelly pig; Swifty.
Sen. Durban and his Persian cat; Adolph.
Sen. Lott and his bloodhound; Duke.
Sen. Dole and her Italian greyhound; Viagra.
Se. Clinton and her Burmese Mountain Dogs; Peter & Paul
Sen. McCain and his Maverick pony; Keating.
“Ted Kennedy and His Portugese Water Dog?” Sounds like a vaudeville act.
Well, he did let the last dog he had drown…
{Am I going to hell for that?}
Bailey and Guinness are not amused.
FWIW, it’s common to give Porties nautical call names. “Splash” is like the John Smith of Portie names.
I wonder if the book has an ending like Where the Red Fern Grows.
Yeah, someone mentioned this in the office the other day and my first reaction was to make a bad joke. And I have nothing against Senator Kennedy. It’s just a terrible choice of dog name under the circumstances!
Also a terrible choice of dog breed under the circumstances.
