Meet The First Dog....

He's cute!! I am a sucker for animals.
As cheesy as Barneycam was when Bush was in office, I still loved it.

The lei is a nice touch. Gotta have style if you're gonna roll with the Obamas, I guess.

He certainly is a cutie.

But, not as cute as my Guido-Meatball

I'm afraid some may not think he's black enough.

Just precious!
Welcome new furry baby from Manfried and the zoo!
Wonder where in his new home he'll commit his first puppy indiscretion?

I read in a book about presidents, their first ladies, and families that I received for my ninth birthday, that Mr. Lincoln was a dog lover so I doubt he'd mind. Somehow I feel as though I should send the staff a bottle of Resolve Pet carpet stain remover because that stuff removes absolutely anything.

The first thing I thought of was the irony of Ted Kennedy giving them a Portugese Water Dog....

...but I heard these dogs love to eat paper. That could come in handy. I bet Sandy Berger wishes he had one.

The curly coat type PWD: A dog with this type of coat is especially susceptible to distichiasis.

Untreated distichiasis can cause corneal ulcers, chronic eye and eyelid pain, and excessive tearing. It is quite uncomfortable and/or painful for the animal, depending on the amount irritation. If the excessive hair causes any clinical signs at all, the hair should be permanently removed.
Signs include increased blinking, lots of extra tears that often look like a tear streak, and squinting. Dogs don’t typically paw at the eye. The more severe cases are the most easily diagnosed, as the milder cases often involve small softer hairs that can easily be missed.

My parents had a cocker spaniel that had this. I'm sure "Bo" will have the very best in doggy medicine at his disposal.

Hehe...and these dogs ate emails.



But, you know what they say about blaming the dog.
