Now would be a fine time for him to do that, as he's sadly hobbled by a hairbone foot fracture after his fall while walking Major and shouldn't be out and about much.

Trivia: FDR also had a Germ Shep named Major

Yes, though Fala stole everybody's heart. The Roosevelts had lots of dogs. Interesting that Major was the name of both presidents' GSDs. Biden's was probably named in memory of his son, Beau, who had been a major in the Delaware National Guard. As most people know by now, he's the first rescue dog to be about to take up residence in the White House.

Of course, I meant "hairline."

Oh! I read it as "hairline" too! I just looked up the injury to see what his activity restrictions should be. I am sure he will make the most of his recovery time, and the work he needs to do right now can be done from a comfy recliner.
