Ron and Casey DeSantis can’t decide what kind of dog they want
Ron and Casey DeSantis head to South Beach to tout a big win in Miami-Dade County.

Will the Governor get a Lab? Or will the First Lady prevail and get a smaller puppy? Time will tell.

The First Couple have some fundamental disagreements about what kind of dog they eventually will get.

During an interview Tuesday with Iowa’s KCCIRon DeSantis revealed that he and Casey DeSantis haven’t figured out what breed of puppy would best suit their daughter Mamie, who got a “toy doggie on a leash” as she is “practicing” for a real dog, expected to be procured a “year from now.”

“I want a Lab,” DeSantis said. “I like the golden lab actually. You know what? I like the black labs too. They’re very good. But my wife wanted maybe something a little smaller and so we’ll see.”

Regardless of the DeSantis divergence on whether to go with a Labrador Retriever or a more pint-sized pooch, the Governor is confident it will all work out well in the end.

“So it is going to happen. There’s some details that need to be ironed out between now and then. But I think you can have a safe assumption that, that our kids are going to be helping us raise another puppy.”

DeSantis had previously suggested the new dog would have to wait until he was elected President.

“I know that the one thing that we will do is we will procure ourselves a doggie for the kids because they’ve been asking for one. And so that would be probably the opportune time to be able to do it. And I think that that would be a lot of fun for them,” DeSantis said in Ankeny, Iowa.

However, he also said the Governor’s Mansion had a “big yard” and that if the First Family got a Lab, it could “run around” and “have a lot of fun,” so it’s clear that even if DeSantis somehow doesn’t become President, there may be a path to pet ownership yet.

    I recommend a pair of American Bully XL dogs for the Rhonda family. They’re wonderful family dogs, absolutely great with kids and tiny adults too.

    Keep dogs away from that family. That family does not even know how to treat people properly. They are monsters who would make horrible owners.

    Good Mornting America,
    STAND BY FOR NEWS:
    I’ve researched this “dog in the White House” issue for Ron & Casey along with The American Public (who we all serve).
    My “Sage” recomendation is “The American Walker” Black & Tan breed which is not only the best sporting breed but also, coincidently, the same dog breed favored by The Sage Founder of our Great Nation George Washington.
    My recomendation, since Ron & The Lovely Casey will be in The White House for at least Eight Years (unless Congress gives them FOUR MORE) is to get a puppy and have the First Dog professionally trained.
    Finally while Earl is an excellant name for a famous dog, like Lassie, Old Yeller, Rin Tin Tin, Roy and Dale’s dog Bullitt, I suggested Ron let his Kids pick the name, even if Earl is not the final choice.
    AND THAT, AMERICA IS THE REST OF THE STORY!

    A pet rock would be a better match for Ron’s penchant for cruelty and lack of warmth and compassion.

    Those kids could use some unconditional love, which a rescue mutt could give them.
