Bo, the First Dog

Bo, the new first dog, has finally appeared. He is a boy, given his name by the Obama daughters. Bo was a gift from Senator Kennedy. He is a Portuguese water dog, a breed known to be especially good for children with allergies. Bo is 6 months old.



Portuguese water dogs were bread to retrieve the fishing nets from under the water for fishermen. They are known for their diving abilities. I would love to have Bo or one of his cousins come here and teach Tanner how to retrieve his sunken pool toys from the bottom of the pool. Any offers?

Xena, Tanner and Oliver would all love to play with this adorable fella. Perhaps we'll drop in for a visit next time we're in DC. Woof! Anyone home? Can Bo come out to play?
