My Bo-Bo Might Like This One...

First Dog Bo’s mother, First Lady Michelle Obama, surprised shoppers today at a Fresh Grocer in North Philadelphia. The First Lady, along with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, visited the grocery chain to bring awareness to her childhood obesity awareness program by picking from the store’s fresh and inexpensive selection. The Fresh Grocer is known to offer high quality fruits and vegetables in their stores which are largely located in low-income neighborhoods where childhood obesity is the highest. Looks like the First Lady will be bringing some of those fresh vegetables back for our boy Bo. We recommend the celery as it’s the closest vegetable to resemble a stick and we know how much dogs like to gnaw on sticks. Source: Huffington Post

The First ladies of the family had a nice time this past weekend at Ski Liberty, a resort in Pennsylvania. While the President was busy running the country, the First Lady and First Daughters spent the weekend on the girls’ first ski trip. Where was First Dog Bo? We hope he was back at the White House giving the President some of that precious doggie love….Source: The Herald Mail

During the famous surprise that First Lady Michelle Obama gave visitors to the White House, we see that our boy First Dog Bo is indeed the head of the family. Many visitors were very excited to meet the First Lady of course but we think that the First Dog upstaged her mostly. The First Lady didn’t mind as she referred to the First Dog as ‘Bo-Bo’ and tried numerous times to call him back to her side so that she could make the proper introductions to the visitors.

A Little To The Left Mommy...

First Dog Watch hasn’t seen our boy First Dog Bo in a while but we came upon this little treasure of a picture. Our boy getting just what he deserves – a belly rub in the middle of the day! Life is good for the First Dog! Source: White House.org

My Suit Is Fabu!

First Lady, Michelle Obama, spoke to a group of young people last week at a YMCA in Alexandria, VA and we at First Dog Watch thinks that her outfit looks very, very familiar…

Where Will First Dog Start?

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is the bearer of First Dogs new shiny gift – wax figures of President Obama and First Lady Michelle! These are some sweet gifts. Just look at that shiny lacquered coating and we can imagine our boy Bo jumping on these figures and licking their legs, hands and faces…you know, all the lovely things that our dogs do for us:-)

Life Is Good For The First Dog!

Well, well, well, look who is hanging out with mommy again! It seems that First Dog Bo is having a blast now that he has his family back. Just look at the look of contentment on his face – tongue hanging just ever so slightly out of the mouth. It reminds us of how humans sometimes involuntarily sigh an involuntary sigh of contenment. But instead of a tongue hanging out (well, maybe for some of us that is), we just lay back, sigh and maybe do a little belly rubbing…which is also a favorite pasttime of dogs. Maybe that’s why we love them so much – they remind us of ourselves in so many ways.

First Dog Bo is happy, the humans are happy…all is right in the White House!

What's Happening?

President Obama cut short his golf game while on his winter vacation in Hawaii yesterday. Apparently, ambulance was called to the rented home the Obamas are using. The president was very concerned that First Daughters, Sasha or Malia or the First Lady may have been injured. False alarm as it turns out that a friend of the Obama family was injured while walking on the beach.

Now if First Dog Bo had been there, he would have given the alarm of any impending “beach injury” with an adorable bark! Instead our boy is probably looking adorable while chewing on the one of his toys. Source: AFP and Michelle Obama Watch

Ahhh, This Is The Life!

Hope They're Looking For Bo!

Well, well, well, what do we have here? Could this be the Obamas hanging out and having fun? Why do they look so happy sining out in Hawaii while First Dog Bo is missing them terribly back in Washington? Questions, questions…maybe we will get answers in the New Year. In the meantime, we are sending doggie kisses to our boy Bo:-)

It’s been awhile since we’ve seen any PDA between First Daughter Malia and First Dog Bo but that all changed yesterday, December 22, 2009. While visiting the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington DC, Bo accompanied Malia, her sister, Sasha and First Lady Michelle Obama on a trip to read Christmas stories. Bo, of course, was a huge hit with the kids and we got to see how much our boy Bo is loved, not only by his family but also by the American people. Source: Day Life
