Finally—–the first puppy!!
Bo - the new first puppy!!!
I know it is Easter Sunday and I should be writing about all of the chocolate that your dog shouldn’t have and other seasonal trivialities, but when this story hit the press early this morning, I couldn’t ignore it. You deserve the “hot off the press” news.
Even though the official announcement is not supposed to be released until this Tuesday, the new addition to the White House will be the Portugese Water Dog that was discussed a couple of entries ago. The Obamas have already spent time getting aquainted with the new canine. However, that top secret meeting was a surprise for the Obama girls. Word is that the girls were thrilled with the six month old puppy and have chosen to name the dog “Bo”. Malia and Sasha were responsible for the name and it is said that they chose that name because their cousin has a cat by that name and their grandfather (Michelle Obama’s dad) was nicknamed Diddley — get it, Bo Diddley!!!
So where did this adorable ball of fur come from? Well, according to reliable sources the puppy was a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy, as he too is the proud owner of 3 Portuguese Water Dogs. This type of dog requires a lot of exercise, both mentally and physically, both of which I’m sure can be accomplished in the White House and the lawns surrounding Bo’s new home. The dog is currently being trained by the trainers of Kennedy’s dogs and according to sources, the dog is doing very well. We don’t need a Washington political scandal revolving around the bad behavior of Bo, or worse yet, an accident on the White House carpet when when foreign officials are visiting our nation’s capital.
So remember, you heard it here and I’m sure you will hear more about Bo in the coming days, weeks and months. Do you think he has his own Secret Service personnel?
