    Looks like the Obamas got their dog!

    Obamas choose Portuguese water dog called 'Bo'

    As it seems, the Obamas have now found their First Dog, a six-month old Portuguese water dog puppy who was provided by Senator Ted Kennedy. This, however, is against the original promise to get a dog from the shelter.

    Obviously the kids name him Bo. He looks cute. I wish him a happy life in the White House with his new family! Hope he will make the girls happy!

    I'm glad to see that they're making a donation though.

    Bo, you're one lucky boy!

    Yes, I was also happy to read about the donation...

    I guess these water dogs are not so easy to find? Obviously it's the only breed to which Malia is not allergic.

    I'm glad that Bo has now found a new family and a good home, after things did not work in his first home.

    Can this dog get any cuter? I hope they join our board so we can get to know all of them better.

    He is very cute indeed!

    I was of the understanding that even though the dog was a gift from Senator Kennedy, it was indeed a rescued dog, originally named Charlie.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    I think he's adorable. I read he is a "second chance" dog, as he was returned from a previous home. Whatever - he's going into a loving family.

    I hope everything works out for Bo and the family. I think it's good he's an "older" puppy, so has some manners under his belt, but the girls will still have a puppy to raise and learn from - and he'll have girls to play with, to use up some of his energy!

    I think we'd have a better chance of having Bo's former owner join us! Can you imagine how they feel now? They gave up a dog (for whatever reasons) and he will now reside in the White House!

    I am oh so glad that they didn't choose a Golden Doodle. I get so upset when I hear of any breed having a "poo" or "oodle" tacked on the end, particularly when the breeding was intentional.

    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.
