Obamas' new puppy makes a big splash - Washington Post- msnbc.com
There ya go! Go read all about it now.
I do have to say that I am disapointed that they didn't get one of the 13 portugese water dogs available on Petfinder:

Oh well. They are supposedly going to make a donation to the D.C. Humane Society, but.......I don't think that makes up for not adopting. Although, Bo (their new puppy) did come from a family who the Kennedy's (Bo's original, first home. Also his birthplace, I guess) felt wasn't a right fit (after selling [or whatever]) him to them originally.
But, that brings up the debate over whether responsible breeders really do exist or not. And once again, I have to say that no, they do not. A responsible breeder cannot exist, because the simple, single act of breeding while dogs die in shelters is irresponsible in itself. It doesn't matter if it's the Kennedy's, or someone else. All breeders of whatever quality are doing something truly abhorrent and irresponsible.
Enough said! Go read the article and watch the video. Bo is soooo cute!
