I <3 Bo Obama
Look at that face! Bo Obama is now my favorite Obama in the White House. I forgive Bo for not being a pound puppy, he can’t control who buys him.
Dogged by demands from his fans, Bo now has his own trading card.
I can’t wait until I get my Bo Obama trading card.
If you want your very own Bo Obama trading card with lots of vital dogtistics, send your request and a SASE to Mrs. Obama’s office.
Bo Obama loves tomatoes (what???) and toys (duh.) Bo says his goal as first dog is to
“make friends with foreign dognitaries”

Did you know?
Bo’s name came from two different places: Mrs. Obama’s father’s nickname was “Diddley” and Malia and Sasha’s cousins have a cat named Bo – and another cat named Diddley.
Bo was a gift to the Obama family from Senator Ted Kennedy and his wife, Vicki.
Even though Bo is a Portuguese water dog, he doesn’t know how to swim.
Send your request for your very own puppy papers to:
Bo Obama,
The White House,
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20500.
We have a friend whose looking for another dog since his old Rottweiler passed on and we thought one of Bo’s kin would be perfect for him. Unfortunately, he’s got his sites set on a good ol’ bloodhound instead. I wonder if he knows what he’s getting into?

@Kirk M: OMG, WSJ today has story about how puppy mills aka breeders are being very picky about who gets a Portie… big long questionnaire, interviews, etc.
Bloodhound? Big floppy ears that needs constant care? all that drooling? no thanks.
I thought dogs instinctively knew how to swim……….
Not sissy inbred ones! 🙂
