A new edition to the Obama Family...

Today the most interesting news was the arrival of the new family dog in the White House. The dog's name is Bo and he is a Portuguese water dog. The Obama spent several minutes taking their new little addition out on a lively romp over the South Lawn with frequent stops for hearty sniffs at its new surroundings. Even before Barack Obama became president, his daughters had mentioned that they wanted a dog. President Obama promised his little girls just that because of the long months of traveling for the presidential campaign with him. Bo is a pure bred dog because Malia is allergic to dog hair and Portuguese water dogs do not shed, even though President Obama wanted a Mutt instead. That is very interesting fact. Bo's breeder happened to be the breeder of Sen. Ted Kennedy's Portuguese water dogs, and when Kennedy learned the puppy was available,he wanted to give the puppy to the Obamas. "Dog Whisperer" Cesar Millan told the Obamas that Portuguese water dogs are active breeds and will need long walks and will need to understand quickly who is the "pack leader." President Obama established that everyone will take turns in walking the Bo. The real question is where will Bo be sleeping? President Obama said anywhere except his bedroom. "The only concern we have is that apparently, Portuguese water dogs like tomatoes. Michelle's garden is in danger," President Obama told CNN."We don't have tomatoes," the first lady said. "Not yet," Obama reminded.
"He doesn't know how to swim," little 7-year-old Sasha mentioned."Apparently they have to be taught how to swim," the president said. "They have webbed feet. And they herd fish for the fishermen in Portugal. That is what we've heard." The Obama's seem to be well informed of their new dog Bo's special breed. This Portuguese Water Dog is pretty unique and now is going to become the most popular dog in the country.
