a first portie soon

Looks like the Obama's have decided on a shelter Portuguese water dog. Here's an article at Boston.com. What a great choice! Skippy is my favorite Portie and he would love the White House life, I'm sure.

Whoo, hoo!

I'm excited for Skippy and his relatives. I read recently that Senator Kennedy put in a good word (based on his two), but I'm sure it was Skippy who was the most convincing.

Cheers,
Lisa

I thought of Skippy when I saw the news! Wonderful! It'll be fun watching the First Dog in the coming years.

Michelle mentions that the first girls want to call their new PWD Moose! Maybe they should call it Alce (Portuguese for Moose). PWD's rule, Chorizo
