While the nipping situation at the White House has led to Major Biden having to go through some off-site training and left Champ without his brother for a bit, that isn’t stopping these two in any way. And on social media, our First Dogs continue to share their lives with us, as well as their fundraising efforts.

However, I am here for their confidence and ability to make us smile. And that’s why their social media post on April 26 where they talked about their approval rating has us ready for some hand clapping (maybe some paws up).

In the post, which features side by side pictures of Champ and Major Biden, the First Dogs revealed,

"We are furry happy to announce that despite the minor nipping incidents and mysterious doo doo situation, after our first 100 days as DOTUS, we have a furry high rate of pawpproval – over 90%. Winston was right: hoomans love us, even if we’re not perfect."

Champ and Major Biden are pushing passed the nipping scandal

As we all move on from the nipping incidents with Major Biden, as well as his off-site training, it’s clear that the First Dogs are not going to let the drama that followed them in their first few months in the White House drag them down.

Much like their own post said, they are not perfect, but that’s okay. We don’t expect dogs to be perfect (even if they are!), and that is true of our First Dogs too.

Just because they live in the White House and represent our furry friends in D.C., that doesn’t mean that they have to be on their game all the time.

We are also all about their approval rating of 90 percent. We aren’t sure who the other 10 percent are, but we are hoping that they are just cat people in this situation.

Whatever happens, at least we know the First Dogs are moving forward. And hopefully everyone else is too.
