WHITE HOUSE: BO, THE FIRST DOG / FIRST FAMILY LEAVING EASTER SERVICE
Monday, April 13, 2009
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.

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.

@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!!!

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!!

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 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.
