South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem stood by a passage in her upcoming book in which she chided that President Biden’s troubled dog Commander should “say hello to” Cricket, the 14-month…

A 14-month-old canine is still a puppy. Many dog breeds do not mature until they are 3 years old. She needed a trainer, to research training that breed, or rehome the dog. Goats are known to be ornery and mean, she should know these things before she gets farm animals.
My uncle has a story: dog was getting old and sick, his wife asked him to have it put down. Now Bruce was an old farmer, had put down plenty of animals for food and disease. So he’s going to shoot the dog. Wife won’t have that, dog is a member of the family.
