The new White House dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog, joins the Obama family on Tuesday, a spokesman for First Lady Michelle Obama told the media on Sunday.
The 6-month-old puppy is a gift from Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), a litter mate of one of their Portuguese water dogs. The Obama daughters named their new pet Bo because they have cousins with a cat named Bo and because Michelle’s late father, Fraser Robinson, nickname was Diddley.
The First family also attended Easter Service at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, DC. The service was the first that the Obama’s have publicly attended since the inauguration.

he shoulda got a pit it woulda been way more symbolic plus it has a pit bulls name or maybe thats just me
I JUST LOVE THIS FAMILY!!!
LOL Ayo, I think it’s just you. Sorry.
That dog is toooo cute. Love it!
The girls look cute too, and while I’m not feeling Mrs. O’s dress selection, it’s always nice to see them out together as a family.
Finally, after all the hooplah about this damn dog it is finally here.
It is quite adorable too.
Awwww the Obama’s dog looks just like my Lhasa-poo Hershey!
How adorable!
@3, Ayo
What do you mean he shoulda got a pit? You tryna say that the only pet a black person can have is a pit bull? You tryna be down fool? Are you even black? Have you ever eaten cereal with a heron spoon? You ain’t black then! Are you saying to yourself, “He just misspelled heroin.” …? Ain’t no way you can be black! Have you ever referred to 40 ounces of malt liquor as “the good stuff”? You can’t be black then! So stop frontin you blide brooch brigadelle biddyotch!!!
WE LOVE THIS FIRST FAMILY!!!
Even the dog is BLACK! Gotta love it:)
How cute
Being a family is an awesome experience!! No matter who you are!
That dog is too cute!!!
The person who said they need a pit bull needs to stop for real. Black folks do LIKE other dog breeds, plus Sasha needed a hypo allergenic dog DUH!!
black dog, black prez, black first lady….dang life is goooooood.
LOL @ sha-sha.
Malia is gonna be breaking boys hearts! she looks like a little model
I love how she keeps her kids little girls
when it is time to go out they’re hair is done so nicely, other than that they get to wear their twists and ponytails…cool
I absolutely love the First Family…..God Bless Them!!
i know this is usually about michelle’s fashion, but barack is sharp!!!!!!!!!! go head wit ya pin stripe suit on!!!!!
that dog is too cute. and this is the first time i’ve seen pres. obama in pinstripes, and he is looking too nice!
Malia lookin too fierce comin outta church!!! lol ….cuuute
I wish they would braid the little girls hair for special events too. Straight hair shouldn’t automatically equal “nice” or “presentable.” Braids for little girls, done right, is special and pretty.
Oh well. Can’t have my cake and eat it too.
I love my first family. The hottest family on the planet !
Barack look so nice going to church with his wife on Easter Sunday.
They are such an inspiration to everyone. I love them !!!!!
The dog is sssssoooooooooooo cute !
Cute dog!!!
I feel like a broken record but.. I love this family. I just can’t say it enough. They seem so true to themselves and are not caught up in all the foolishness. Stay strong.
They are such a beautiful african american family. Way to represent us. The girls look so pretty…We by we i mean blacks. We always except everyone So what if the dog is gay. Gays need love to. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dog is adorable, it looks like he has on white boots….LOL! But it looks like Bo was vacationing in Hawaii….
Love the Obamas very nice family
I heard he isn’t your average chew-on-the-couch pup. He had some kind of president-dog type training and he’s all obedient…kind of takes the fun out of having a baby pup.
Damn, the dog is just like Obama. A h*mosexual that’s black on top but white on the bottom. Aint that somethin’.
They should just got a Golden Retriever.
Yay! They picked the dog I liked. Cute! I love the natural hair styles on the girls. They should have them wear their hair natural more often.
That’s just a beautiful family.
how adorable…
why do i feel like there will be insults hurled at this dog because of the damn lei that it’s wearing…
sigh…
Their daughters r so beautiful………….u neva knw they might walk in 2 da footstepz of their fatherz………
AWWW!!
cute dog and name… how cute!
The lei is because Obama is from Hawaii. Why must black folks always insult each other???
episcopal church??? obama knows he loves black holiness churches. oh well I guess the episcopal church was more equipped and prepared to accommodate the first family.
Malia’s boots are so cute. They are the cutest family ever and I love that dog and his rainbow collar “How you duin!”
