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:-)

I Could've Had This In Washington...

The Obama Family left Washington D.C. for a winter break to escape the brutal cold weather in favor of fun in the sun! But then FDW uncovers pictures of the President sucking up snow cones? We’re confused. The Obamas could have stayed in Washignton (with First Dog Bo) and made snow cones out of the snow outside their front door. That way, our boy Bo would have had his family and the family would have their snow cones.

We don’t get it…(wink)

I Got Your Snow Cone Right Here!

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:-)

Let Me At That Turkey!

While the President may have kept with tradition by pardoning a turkey in celebration of Thanksgiving, we at FDW think that the First Dog would not have been so generous given how “delicious the turkey looked.” On Wednesday, the president joked that he only agreed to spare the fowl a “terrible and delicious fate” only after First Daughters, Malia and Sasha, begged him to pardon the bird.

First Dog Bo, like all dogs, would have tackled the noble beast in honor of his duty as family dog. But in honor of Thanksgiving we begrudgingly agree with the president. Source: Huffington Post

Since we haven’t been given any new shots of our boy First Dog Bo, we have to resign ourselves to surfing the web in search of fresh stories. While doing our due diligence, we came across this great drawing our the Obama dog’s first days in the White House. Remember that shot of President Obama and the family’s new puppy spending some quality time together running through the halls of the West Wing. It’s pretty cute so check it out…

It's Seems Like Old Times...

There's Nothing Like The Real Thing!

Well, well, well, in the new pics of the Obama Family – the “official” White House family photo that is- the First Dog is missing! But before we got out dog collars all tied up, First Dog Watch decided to do some investigation and, actually, it turns out that Bo Obama isn’t the first First Family pet to NOT appear in the “official White House” family photo.

In our search for First Family photos with First Pets, we were hard pressed to find any “official” photos with the First Family and their pets. We know that the Clintons loved First Dog, Buddy, and First Cat, Socks, but they didn’t appear in any photos. So while we would have loved to have seen Bo Obama in the Annie Leibovitz photo, it’s not that unusual. Besides, the First Grandmother is also missing!

We Are Family!

Where's First Dog, Buddy?

…Play with Oprah’s dogs?! While the First Lady AND Oprah were  in Copenhagen for their unsuccessful bid for the 2016 Olympics, FDW was wondering where is First Dog Bo? Perhaps there was a playdate for Bo in the deal to have his mommy (and daddy leave for a day). If that’s what a dog has to suffer for abandonment (we know we are pushing it), then we think it was worth it. Besides, Oprah has twenty dogs (just kidding) so we think he had a ball!

Hope The Dogs Are Fine!

What Do You Think The Doggies Are Up To Now?

The Obamas visited the Jefferson Memorial in Washington on Sunday, September 27, 2009, along with the President’s sister Maya Soetoro-Ng, her husband, Konrad Ng and their two daughters. Truly a family affair with ONE obvious snag – no First Dog! Now we know the Obamas love their doggie but it seems that they have soooo much fun without. Oh well, at least he got to go Martha’s Vineyard. Source: Huffington Post

We Are Family...Where's Bo?

Is Bo Up There?

First Dog Bo is seen here with the President, Sasha and Malia Obama on the South Lawn last week. It’s a very sweet picture of a modern American family but the real question is – is the Obama’s Dog white socks growing and destined to take over his whole body? Look at those things…hey Bo, are those your socks or have you been fighting with a Snow Man?

RRRRRR, Give It To Me Child!
