Pug Could Become Official State Dog

Thursday, May 11, 2006

Lawmakers in the State of Delaware are considering a bill that would make the Pug the official state dog.

Apparently, the pug's intelligence and small stature best reflect's the nation's second smallest state. I wonder if snorting had anything to do with it?

Rep. Robert Valihura, who sponsored the bill, said he did so upon the request of a pug-owning constituent.

If only getting a Congressman to respond to all demands could be as simple.

I love Pugs... I really do.

But, is this the best thing these legislators have to do with their time?

I want limited government, for obvious reasons, and to eliminate silly things such as this. This frivolous _____ just makes me less and less happy with the state of our country.

you know, Sam makes a valid point. BUT ... it's great that one legislator is showing his human (er ... dog/human) side. Keep us posted. I hope this goes through.

Cheers

pugs are irrefutably the most amazing dog breed in the world; I only wish Virginia's Representative was as smart as Delware's! Hmmm... judging on my own pug's (Angel's) intellegence, it represents an exact duplication of the legislator's own intellegence!

I have two lovable Pugs of my own and the are a breed worthy by all means, but really, is there nothing else for lawmakers to do in Delaware??
