Who would have thought that Vladimir Putin and I have something in common? Well, we do! We both love our dogs. And our dogs have something in common as well. His Buffy and my Angie and Cassie all pee and poop in the house. However, that’s where any similarity ends. You’ll never catch me swimming in any icy waters and I’m not even the prime minister of my home.
PUTIN: I LOVE MY PUPPY

MOSCOW - PRIME Minister Vladimir Putin says he loves Buffy, his new puppy, even though the Belgian shepherd leaves puddles and piles around the house.
Buffy, a cute caramel-and-white-patched dog, was given to Mr. Putin by his Bulgarian counterpart Boyko Borissov in Sofia last month.
Last week a young Russian boy won a national competition to name the male dog.
Asked Thursday during a live call-in show as to how Buffy's doing, Mr. Putin replied: 'Excellently.'
Mr. Putin said: 'He draws me huge puddles around the entire house, and leaves piles. But he's a very pretty boy, of course, and I love him.'
Mr. Putin, who was referred to as 'Alpha Dog' by US diplomats in a leaked diplomatic cable published recently by WikiLeaks, is in his element around animals. -- AP
