Todd's Political Views

I found out that Todd is a Republican.  Because he's a terrier, for some reason I just took for granted that he would be a Democrat.

But I've come to realize that terriers are all about limited "government," a strong terrier defense and military, and their freedoms, particularly their right to bare their terrier teeth--In thinking about it, it all sounds like the makings of a conservative to me!
It is a little disheartening to suspect he’s playing for the other team. Of course, I could be imagining it. But I don' t think so because this is the second time he has torn up something that had President Obama's name on it.
However we really do have things in common; a shared pool of beliefs and behavior, of likes and dislikes that we use to bridge our differences and learn from each other.
And it all comes together to create harmony at Golden Pines.  
I hope you're having a weekend with harmony too!

  4. Yes, it's true us Terriers are very opinionated, we personally are independent, never could go with that party thingy. Keep up the good work Todd, never be afraid to express your opinion.

  24. LOL it's always shocking when we find out someone close to us has a different political affiliation. :-)

    Thankfully, most of us can agree to disagree on some of our political views.

  25. Ha! Just goes to show you that everyone can have their own opinions but we can all still be harmonious together! Love that pic on the porch! :)

  26. Todd is very intelligent! Give him a pat on the head from me, and a big sloppy sugar from Soph, and I won't get started on my political tear on your blog, lol.

  27. OK, its time for "guess the Goldens".
    With Todd peaking from the deck:
    Sheba on the left.
    Annie on the right.

    I asked Easton for his opinion, but he just squeaked his ball and wagged his tail. I think its because I mentioned Annie's name.

    Have a great Sunday.
    Hugs to the pack.

  32. some days I think animals would do a better job in government as all governments make pigs ears of what decisions they make.

  33. We've often thought our boys had opposing political views too - I'm glad to find out we aren't the only ones! :D

  34. I think Soldier is leaning Republican, just his name, his fierce independence, his refusal to get the mandated shots at the vet, and so on. Samson on the other hand is in my corner. How do I know? He asked me once if Romney were elected president, would he, Samson, have to ride on the roof of the Jeep. He said if that was the case he would self-deport himself back to Russia where he came from. Well, his breed came from.

  44. Hey Golden Pines Gang, Jet here. Hi Miss Kim.

    Clever...

    Puffy, JJ and I have decided to sit this one out. Our two biggest concerns: the economy - both sides need to make sure Mom has enough biscuit money for the appropriate TREATS...
    healthcare - Mom needs enough resources to keep us all well.
