  2. awwwwwwwwww

  3. Awww How adorable

  4. I just read the funniest comment on another site. Someone said with that “thing” around the dog’s neck he looks like he’s either coming back from Mardi Gras or he just came out of the closet. I swear I almost fell out laughing when I read it. :lol2:

  5. That’s what I thought when I saw the dog too. He definitely has that gay pride look with those colorful rings around his neck.

  6. Cute dog for a cute family!

  7. Keepin It Real

    Bo is a cutie. I know they named him after Bo Didley and Michelle’s dad “Didley”. But what a coincidence that the letters of Bo is also the presidents initials, BO. :brownsista:

  8. LOL @ the collar comments. BoBama is too cute!

  9. When I saw this pic I started 2 cry. This is what U call…..Priceless!

  10. awww he’s so cute!

  11. awwwwww he’s so cute!

  12. awwww so cute!! i want one!!! i’m so glad they got a small pup, perfect for the girls!

  13. Why is a dog so important? Never understood. I remember when Bush’s cat died, it was a big deal on the news. And don’t even talk about the Clintons’ pets! But why?

  14. CoCo, The main reason why people go crazy over there pets because their family.Not to mention, animals were here way before we were even thought of. Now in this case with the Obamas, by them bein’ the First Black family in the White House, everything about what the Obamas are doing(Especially Malia & Natasha aka Sasha) is so precious, priceless, & rare since Teddy Roselvet & John Kennedy families that have been in the White House. The playground set that Malia & Sasha got on the lawn, The President & The First Lady came out of their pockets and paid for playground set.So basically, to me I think folks just cherish their pets because they are family.

  15. Bo is too cute! The girls are gonna love him…I hope!

  16. Black first family, Black dog, I’m loving the white house :thumbsup:

  20. @ Keepin It Real said, Yeah my mom and I were thinking the same thing, Bo is also president initial

    there are some people hating on other blogs saying that they don’t care about this dog and the Obamas because US economy is so bad, I’m telling them to shut the f*** up and that they shouldn’t have voted for Bush

    my Black is beautiful

    have a good day everyone

  21. lmao at stephanie

  22. He’s black AND white…and oh soooo cute.
    And yes pets are family.
    I love my little kitty!

  23. U know what ladies & gentlemen, I just realize something in this room that compare us to Sasha’s & Malia’s dog and us at this present moment. That dog and us talking about made us feel like were family in this room right now at this present moment. We’re not arguing or putting other people down because what is said to one another.We are enjoying and having a good time among ourselves just like the Obamas are enjoying that pretty little puppy in that picture. And I must say, even though we. Inherited a jack up economy, but the thought of seeing that pic of the Obamas and their new additio to their family, made me realize we are all family.

  24. This is so cute….i’m baby sitting my 4year old cuz and he viewing this picture with me right now and he just asked me to buy him the multi colourful jersey that BO wearing…..how sweet…i love the pick where BO is kinda chasing Barack.

  25. :smile: Bo is too cute.

  26. I love pets

  27. He should have taken the leash off of the dog’s neck before he started running with him, what if he steps on it by accident. :sad: Happy for them, and i like the fact that the dog is hypoallergenic, I am allergic to pets too.

  28. They said that BO has the run of the entire white house…..wow! What a lucky dog.

  29. Bo is a cutie!
