Thinking outside the box...
I want to share a new book that could be the spin you'd prefer for this upcoming election. Heather Patterson, a teacher in Dallas, authored the story, Passing the Bone; America's Next POTUS.
Bo Obama, Pup of the United States, share the dos and don'ts of America's First Pup as he prepares to pass the bone to his successor. The entire nation is wondering, Who will be the next POTUS?
The story begins with Bo addressing his fellow canines for the final time. He shares his accomplishments to include frequent doggy play dates with both foreign and domestic.
How can other canines can become the Pup of the White House? Not only do you need to sit, stay and come, you must be born in the USA and patriotic.
A POTUS must act presidential. The yard is wide and spacious. The grass is temping. There is no time for frolicking like a silly puppy.
Train yourself to a strict bathroom schedule. No interrupting the President and No accidents in the White House. {Teacher Friends, Can you relate?}
There are many pup perks that can make your tail wag.
