On election night Barack Obama re-assured his two young daughters that they “earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House.” I think what everybody wants to know now is what kind of puppy will it be. Michelle Obama mentioned months ago that the puppy would come from a shelter (woo-hoo!) so that leaves endless possibilities.
The pending pooch has been in the news since July, and two websites, presidentialpup.com and obamafamilydog.com have been parading all breeds as viable options. The poodle seems to be a popular choice amongst many visitors to those sites. President Elect Obama was quoted to say “The dog is a done deal. Who’s walking the dog, that’s what were concerned about.”
I am sure that the dog will get plenty of walks and maybe even a few White House style nail groomings with a Peticure! While everyone waits to see what the new addition will be to the Obama’s household, the White House staff will need to start thinking about some housebreaking initiatives. There are a lot of places to pee in the White House.
