The news of the new First Puppy has been spreading like wild fire. The White House was trying to keep it under wraps until Tuesday when they were going to announce it. (Since when do they announce dogs into the White House?)

The dog is a 6-month old Portuguese water dog that was given as a gift from Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.

The dog is named Bo. Malia and Sasha wanted to name it that because their cousin’s have a cat named Bo, and the last name is Diddley, after their mother, Michelle‘s dad.

Bo will be presented to the Obama’s by the Kennedy’s on Tuesday. He has had to be ‘re-homed’ because they can’t take the dog as a gift.
