In her recent autobiography, Kristi Noem describes killing the family dog
Posted by IlliniRunner on April 26, 2024, 13:47:19 But in 2024 Kristi Noem, a strong contender to be named running mate to Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has managed to go one further – by admitting killing a dog of her own. “Cricket was a wirehair pointer, about 14 months old,” the South Dakota governor writes in a new book, adding that the dog, a female, had an “aggressive personality” and needed to be trained to be used for hunting pheasant. What unfolds over the next few pages shows how that effort went very wrong indeed – and, remarkably, how Cricket was not the only domestic animal Noem chose to kill one day in hunting season.

It was a 14-month old dog. Basically a puppy. She didn't know how to train it. Don't want it?
