Michelle Obama says her family has decided to make a Portuguese Water Dog the first dog around the Obama White House. The First Lady told People Magazine the Obamas are searching animal rescues for that particular breed.
Mrs. Obama says she hopes the lucky Portuguese Water Dog will move into the White House in April after she and President Obama take their daughters on Spring Break.
She recaps a typical conversation with her daughter Sasha about the dog's arrival: "So Sasha says, 'April 1st.' I said, 'April.' She says, 'April 1st.' It's, like, April!," Mrs. Obama recalls. "Got to do it after spring break. You can't get a new dog and then go away for a week."
So why a Portuguese Water Dog? "Temperamentally they're supposed to be pretty good," Mrs. Obama says she learned from Sen. Ted Kennedy who owns some water dogs himself. "From the size perspective, they're sort of middle of the road – it's not small, but it's not a huge dog. And the folks that we know who own them have raved about them. So that's where we're leaning."
I guess the next big questions is, what will the Obama's name their new dog?
