Showing Original Post only (View all)Bo Obama has a new Little sister! [View all]
http://www.whitehouse.gov/meet-sunny?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=081913p2&utm_campaign=meetsunnySunny was born in Michigan in June 2012, and arrived at the White House today. Just like Bo, shes a Portuguese Water Dog, which works great for the Obamas because of allergies in their family.
Sunny is the perfect little sister for Bo full of energy and very affectionate and the First Family picked her name because it fit her cheerful personality.
In the past, Bo has been eager to help the First Family with their official duties, from visiting Walter Reed and the Childrens National Medical Center, to inspecting the Holiday decorations at the White House, to greeting guests at the White House on tours and during the Easter Egg Roll, but in October, the First Lady told reporters that she hosted a doggie play date because Bo doesn't have enough dog interaction. So now, in addition to helping with those official duties, Bo takes on the important role of big brother!

do you seriously mean to imply that the family and staff do not know how to take care of those dogs?

Ok, I gave up arguing years ago what most veterinarians and other dog experts advise.
