Bo, the Obamas’ Dog, pulls Michelle in front of reporters on the leash on The White House lawn……

Here’s some quotes from the Lawn today:

Reporter: “Where is he sleeping? ”
Pres: “He’s sleeping in the White House”. “Not in my bed”.

Comment by blogger: Comment by blogger: My porti sleeps on my bed, but not for long. Just a few minutes. He moves around all night. He needs fresh air often. The dog is clean somehow, this dog doesn’t lick. Since he doesn’t shed he can go on the furniture.

Pres: “That is a good looking dog”.

Comment by blogger: Yes he is very good looking. After PWD’s are groomed they’re adorable. 2 months later they can be dreaded and rastafar, then people do not seem to think they’re adorable, just good looking. Women like him more after he is groomed. My PWD  likes women very much.

Pres: “Apparently PWD’s like tomatoes, Michelle’s garden is in danger”.

Comment by Blogger: Our Porti Goji does not like tomatoes. He likes steak tatar  and sun dried salmon. Anything with liver he likes. Porties are very picky eaters. I’ve never seen a PWD eat a tomato. The President is being funny about that.

Malia: “He doesn’t know how to swim!”.

Comment by blogger: My portie doesn’t swim either. He adores to slosh around in the mud and water of the San Francisco Bay. He goes in the water every day. Goji’s best friend Cocoa, another Porti, also hardly swims. I saw Cocoa swim in a creek last week for the first time. He’s seven years old.

Pres: “He has webbed feet”

Comment by blogger: Yes they’ve webbed feet. Also they can jump up cliffs, and walk over rocks with ease. Their feet are big. These are huge robust dogs. They are a lot of dog forTiny girls. Their bites can be dangerous. They never bite humans on purpose. They are wired to respect us, but will body slam you when they greet you.

Pres: “I finally got a friend!”

Comment by blogger: You’ve got a handful. Porties are a lot of work. My previous dog, a black lab, slept all day.

Here’s some info about Bo’s maternal grandmother:

Bo was born of Penny, who lives on Martha and Art Stern’s farm. Penny was born of Pooka, who also was bred by the Sterns until Penny herself was of breeding age. At that point, Pooka, Bo’s maternal grandmother, came to live with Janet Forsgren .
