Lesson for the Obamas: Jon Provost, who used to play Timmy on the "Lassie" TV series and lives in Santa Rosa nowadays, adopted a dog from the Humane Society & SPCA of Sonoma County last week. Oh, Lassie was fine, but Lassie wasn't real life. "Timmy's" new dog is Grant, a dachshund/terrier mix.



Oh, how we love to see those two names together!!

ps we renamed him Buddy -- our dog, not the prez.
