All rise for...."Bo" Obama

"Bo" the six-month old Portuguese water dog is in house, the White House. He is a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy and his wife to Sasha and Malia Obama. Here's a photo and some more official info on the Obama family addition. I feel bad for whoever is in charge of clean-up and furniture repair!

Q: What do Pres. Obama and Oprah have in common?

A: They're both getting new rescue dogs!

The Obamas have decided to rescue a Portuguese Water Dog sometime in April. The dog is a gift to Malia and Sasha for the long presidential campaign that forced their parents to travel frequently. They chose the PWD because the breed has a corded poodle-type coat and does not shed much...a must for Malia's allergies.

Oprah lost two cocker spaniels last year, Sophie and Solomon. Her new addition is a puppy cocker name Sadie that she and Stedman adopted this past Sunday at the PAWS shelter on Chicago.
