Pets in the White House

Yesterday a good part of the day was spent doing web work on my business site with Rob while watching Animal Planet. I think it was a Dogs 101 marathon. One of the shows that was on was about presidential dogs, which I found to be very interesting.

It was probably inspired by the fact that the Obama girls are getting a puppy soon. The show talked about what type of dog would be suitable for them. One of the commentators on the show was from the Presidential Pet Museum, which totally intrigued me and I SO wanna go. Staff there recommends a Portuguese Water Dog, because it’s non-allergenic, doesn’t shed, and is intelligent among other reasons. One of the main concerns of the Obama’s is that one of their daughters is allergic to dog fur. It’s amazing when I googled for information how many people have written articles about their dog selection!
