Counterpoint: I’m a single person who is gone 8-10 hours a day and lives in an apartment and I have a dog. I also have a dogwalker and my dog is a rescue greyhound (which means he was kennel raised and used to a schedule). The key is to make sure you pick the right dog and have the resources to give the dog what it…

It’s a catch-22. You press him hard and your credentials get revoked. You don’t press him hard and your credentials are worthless.

At this point, what do they have to lose?

Shoot, I fast-forwarded past that because I was tired of Trump’s voice. I did, however, catch the gem of Trump explaining to Dickerson that things haven’t moved as quickly as Trump would like because the government is “very bureaucratic.”

“You can figure it out yourself.”

Dickerson gets credit not only for asking AND THEN FOLLOWING UP, but the way he asked. “But I’m asking you, because you don’t want it to be fake news. I want to hear it from President Trump” and “But I want to know your opinions. You’re the president of the United States” are such great lines that should appear in…

The qualities I look for in a president don’t include “petulant”.

I am calling it: By the end of the year, reporters will have to submit their questions in advance, and if they deviate from the approved script, they will have their White House credentials revoked.

FAKE NEWS! Alt fact.

He also says “It should be discussed”, but when pressed into actually discussing it he tucks tail and runs.

THIS IS WHAT JOURNALISTS NEED TO BE DOING. DO NOT JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT QUESTION. CALL THIS MOTHERFUCKER OUT.

“It should be talked about.”

“Okay, let’s talk about it.”

“That’s enough. We’re done.”

“I don’t stand by anything.“

I mean, honest to gosh I’m not trying to be pedantic about it. I just can’t watch the video right now so my brain is all ‘well did he back him into one of those little alcoves that leads to the door? Those kinda have corners.’

Or maybe Trump knocked out a wall to build an alcove/altar to his glory?

I’d still rather assume it’s legit first.

THIS. Don’t come at the dog by bringing your hand over its head, just put your hand down and let it come sniff you. Bringing your hand over its head can be seen as aggressive, and it blocks their field of view.

To add to the list:

I always suggest calling first.

A reminder that if the dog is wearing a vest or a leather harness, do not pet it, do not talk to it, do not offer it food, and, in most cases, don’t ask to pet it. They are working and distraction can be dangerous for their handler.
