Looks like the Obamas got their dog!

[Taz_Zoee]

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.

Actually, I agree with you. But just like anyone that lives in the "spotlight" anything they do is plastered everywhere. I would NOT want to be famous, thank you.

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.

Very enjoyable article. I laughed when I read this -

“He’s in training right now. He’s going to be a little gentleman, believe me – until he sees that fountain. He’ll be splashing around and saying, ‘Where’s the fish? Where’s the fish?’” She laughed.

Well, I also fear that the breed will become extremely popular now. I read today that even in Germany, many people now want a PWD.

Little Bo and the first pics with his new family are all over the news here, just look at the website of our leading gossip newspaper: Bild
Even if you can't read it, you can see from the pics how many articles there are about him!
Well, and obviously, he has also got his own page: http://obama-dog.com/

Luckily little Bo has no idea how the entire world is looking at him!

Remember, no little Bo's. He is already neutered.

BO is a very cute pup. I loved the picture of him running down the
side of the White House with Obama. I think he actually loves the pup
too.

He sure is one cutie patootie alright.

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...

I agree PWOs are awesome dogs and BO is adorable. Our neighbour has a PWO and she is amazing - very smart, spirited and a wonderful little friend. Good training, exercise and lots of love = superdog!! (This is true for all breeds)

I'm happy for the Obamas - especially the girls - having a little fur buddy is always a good thing

The high resolution version of this and a couple other photos are available on the Whitehouse blog !

I don't know too much about PWD. never met one in person. HOpe he works out great. He will really enjoy it there I'm sure

That is the photo I was talking about earlier. I love it too.

[Kirsten]

I love that picture, too! Must be so heartwarming to see the two of them running the corridors of the White House!

I really like that photo too. Rather humbling - just a man and a dog enjoying each other's company.....

Bo is really cute and will quickly become a very important part of the First Family. Now, as to "Bo is not allowed in bed." Any bets for how long that lasts!?

Now, as to "Bo is not allowed in bed." Any bets for how long that lasts!?

When Edwina came to live with us I said she could NOT sleep in our bed (my allergies....)

Two weeks....

A co-worker told me about when they got their new Jack Russell puppy, Rookie, the rule was she was not allowed in bed and had to sleep in the kitchen. That first night. 15 minutes!
