The Boys can even find something nasty to say about the President getting a dog!
Wow...must be tough work being so negative!
The dog went to a home where there was an existing PWD...and the older dog became very unhappy.
So Bo had to go....the breeder...being responsible --- took it back and looked for a new home (so it would NOT end up in a rescue...) and the new home - thanks to Ted Kennedy...The White House.
A nice story...
Cute for sure, but now everyone will be buying one.
And then the PWD Rescues will be full before long............. sigh.....
:o Sad = But True Point.. I thought the same thing this morning when it was all on the today show..Quote:

I am sure it may cause some increase in interest but hopefully not 'fill the shelters' type of interest.
Anyway I think this pup is cute and I enjoyed reading his story here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30188436/
So are we going to celebrate with an In-Dog-Uration tomorrow? :D Little Bo-Bama is SO cute!

Is Bo in the video? Maybe I'm missing something...but the reporter said that Bo would be making his debut on Tuesday. Either way, though, the dogs in the video are cute. :)
No, :(Quote:

I got this in an email today from the Michigan Agility List.
It's an article entitled The Obama Dog: The Breeder tells the Tale. Good read. :)
To be honest, I don't care what kind of dog the Obama family has. Maybe it's just me who feels this way. I AM glad the girls have their dog, but, does it REALLY have to be announced all over the world? Don't bash me if you disagree with me, it is just how I feel.
Gotta agree with you on this Ellie. It has happened before. Apparently sales of dalmatians skyrocketed after the movie 101 Dalmatians came out. That is the mentality of some folks.....be like "fill in the blank" and get a dog like they have. Once again I am so thankful that they didn't choose a labradoodle. The backyard breeders would have a heyday keeping up with the demand. :rolleyes: :mad:Quote:

I for one am thrilled to death that the girls got their puppy. I wish I had been as lucky when I was a kid, but had to wait till I was grown and own my own to have one. All kids should have a pet of some kind.Quote:

And as far as what CountryWolf said - who cares and does it have to be announced to the world. It doesn't have to be, but with the First Family living under a microscope as they do, everything they say or do is newsworthy, whether they, or we, like it or not. We'd all better get used to it, since this 4 year term is still in it's infancy! We all have a long way to go!!!
Exactly! :) Either way, the dog was blessed to have a life at home instead of being in a rescue or shelter.Quote:
