"If only my husband held me like the president holds his dog..." (sniff)

That's his wife........... she's probably just checking to be sure everything is ok.
I think that his wife is sitting next to him, almost hidden by the waiter

Jealous woman? To me she looks like she'd love to go over and pet those beautiful dogs!
A good person with a Bernese Moutain Dog becomes a better person - they bring out the best in you because they have such savoir vivre. He has got two Bernese and they obviously adore him. What a marvelous feeling to be able to say "The president seems like a very likable man" (I am writing this just after the summit meeting between Trump and Putin in Helsinki ...)
I have a beautiful Bernese Mountain dog that looks just like his! They are gorgeous! Here is my Noelle... 13165838_1...53e8bd.jpg
"Your welcome," is what? Your welcome is worn out? Your welcome has been extended? Or did you mean "you're welcome," which means "you are welcome," in English?

Sure as hell can't imagine the Donald waiting in line for anything...............
Donald the Joker in Batman's films, has not received any form of social education, by which I mean he hasn't been taught any manners. He has no idea what so ever what it is to act and to be a gentleman. Just a spoiled wealthy brat
Load More Replies...Refreshing. A President who can actually behave himself. He's not the only one, to be sure, but compared to Trump who's such a boor... Do you see #45 standing in line for anything?
These are Bernese Mountain Dogs. Magnificent creatures, full of slobbery kisses and pure love!
oh this makes you want to cry. such wonderful Empathy this man has. The world needs so many more of him.
I'm crying that all the world's leaders are by far not like him.
Load More Replies...Please could we share him with you or even better, could you share him with Americans, they really need a wonderful person like him
This guy has a heart. Obviously not the kind of guy who'd order migrant kids to be separated from their parents and caged.
The Joker, usa so called president hasn't a heart, instead he has a safes and bank accounts throughout the world. Perhaps he's not a human after all. Some horrific beast from outer space or from hell.
Load More Replies...Clare Thanks for explaining the pix altho' I think this kind, gentle President would hug anyone who needed one. Take care
Evidence of true compassion! President Higgins is a man of integrity among his people. Rare!
Oh, I see. It's his strategy for not being the shortest in the photo. Bring your dogs and everybody will be the same size as you... smart... ^^
Haha, yes, the effect of this isn't so obvious until you see in the photo below just HOW much taller than President Higgins Prince Harry is. (...Is there some way to punctuate that to make it less weird...?)
Load More Replies...OK, I see I've got a lot of down votes so I'll try to elaborate: It's widely known that Merkel is scared of dogs since her childhood. Putin brought his dog to a meeting with her. Nine years later he claimed not to have known she is scared of dogs. Here is one of the articles: http://www.businessinsider.com/putin-merkel-meeting-dog-2017-7 There are also pictures and and video of the meeting. If the downvotes are because my comment isn't closely related to the subject being discussed, I understand.
Load More Replies...BTW who are the dark haired girl and redhead boy touching the dogs...? They do look somehow familiar :) Of course not half as familiar as the cutest dogs in the world!
That's a burner!!! Love it. Wish I'd be irish, could vote for him.
Can we get him to move to US? We desperately need a President who isn't totally into himself
He looks surprisingly like the french song composer Didier BARBELIVIEN... Didier-BAR...984eb1.jpg
These cute images of Michael D were knitted in The Wool Shop here in Trim. They sent him one and now they proudly display his letter of acknowledgment and thanks.
In first glance I thought it's Waldorf from The Muppet Show... Could be his evil crocheted twinbrother.
Waldorf of course being the evil twin! Higgins is clearly the nice one.
Load More Replies...TEA POT COVERS WOULD NOT BE BIG/SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH FOR VAIN PRESIDENT TRUMP
Its OK hon, he wont last forever, you deserve better then that bully as you say
Load More Replies...What is the joke? I’ve heard reference to ‘very particular set of skills’ can somebody please enlighten me? Thank you!
My 3 yr old female is 110 pounds lol the males can get up to that weight as well. She was supposed to stop at 80 but we must have forgotten to tell her that lol
Load More Replies...I always notice that too! Everything else in the room is so neat and orderly- why do people not set the "candles" in the lamps straight? I'm not sure why someone got so upset about you mentioning that, it's not a personal insult or anything...
Load More Replies...(Which translates to, in case you are wondering, "incredible!")
Load More Replies...Maybe neither knows Ancient Greek, and they were both just messing with the writer... :)
Nope, through google translate Mimis wrote “incredible!”
Load More Replies...I am prepared to learn ancient Greek if only to please such a nice man as Mr President Michael D Higgins
I pretended Martin Sheen's President Bartlet was my president when West Wing was airing and also now when I get depressed about the current US president. :/
Load More Replies...Lovely breed these Bernese shepherds. Anybody knows how old are these two accompanying Mr President?
Where are all these incels coming from? Can we get these troglodytes banned already?
Load More Replies...He is so charismatic that even the bird is listening to him patiently...
What a lovely little Indian Ringneck (I think?)... Hanging with the president :)
He's got sharp teeth too. Listen to this. A few years before election: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYg2IX0OdY0
Rimtai? Tą patį kadrą croppint ir įdėti kaip atskirą nuotrauką? Well done
If Charlie Brown ever had a grandfather he would definitely be this guy :)
Grandeur is not to be measured in ft or cm for certain. Mr Higgins is a walking evidence. I am most impressed.
Can't you like something without hating first?? Just make a damned post about this cool Irish guy.
Exactly. Whoever wrote the title to this story should go sit in a corner for a while. There's enough negativity in this world without having to instigate more.
Load More Replies...He reminds me of my ancestors in family photos!! Photos of the men in my family inspire one to say "What a wee little Welsh man!" Must be our shared ancient Celtic heritage.
