The Portuguese Water Dog For Obamas



North Korea, the $787 billion
stimulus package, how to shut down Guantanamo when to withdraw from Iraq. But the question that has nipped at his heels every step of his way, ever since he made the promise on Election Day before tens of the thousands in Chicago, was this: When would President Barack Obama and his family get the much awaited first puppy?

The answer is black and white, six year old Portuguese water dog named Bo- a gift from Senator Edward Kennedy,


The dog’s name was chosen by first daughter Malia and Sasha, who liked it because their cousins have a cat by that name. Also, Michelle Obama’s father was nicknamed Diddley. The post said it had been promised an exclusive by the White House, but then details started leaking out Saturday on the celebrity gossip website TMZ.com The dog is expected to arrive at the White House Tuesday. Bo has been trained by Kennedy’s dog trainers and already met the family at the White House on a secret visit to see if he could pass muster. He stood and sat as was proper, and didn’t have any potty mistakes.
