After considering numerous dog breeds, the Obama family is bearing down on an April deadline to get a dog promised to first daughters Malia and Sasha. A Portuguese water dog is one of several breeds apparently still in the running, but what should they name it? Michelle Obama hinted that the first family could use some help.

"Oh, the names are really bad. I don't even want to mention it, because there are names floating around and they're bad," Obama told People magazine.

So this dog looks like he knows what's comin'...ever hear Sinbad talk about black folks' dogs? Funny as hell....tied up in the yard on a rope (cause it would run away if it weren't), family goes on vacation they fill up a big bowl with scraps - if the dog eats it all at once, tough crap - family be back in 2-3 days - he ain't gonna die from that.......

This dog just has that loook....he knows whats comin'

“Temporary” will be its name.

ALL dogs, regardless of “coat” still have *dander*, given that they ALL have skin and all skin flakes off constantly, creating "dander".
There is NO such thing as a hypoallergenic dog.[or any other animal, for that fact]
The proteins in the -dander- are what set off allergies.
*If* the kid has a "dog allergy", she will be allergic to this dog, too.

The *only* dogs they could’ve possibly considered are the Mexican Hairless and the Chinese Crested...and those only because their skin is so oily that it keeps the dander “stuck on the dog” rather than floating around, air borne ~somewhat~ more efficiently.

The best anyone with "dog allergy" can hope for is *less* symptoms; not *no* symptoms...which is basically saying you'll be a little sick all the time instead of very.

Fish or lizards would be better pets for an "allergic" person.

[wht aren't his pETA pals screaming that he's going to "enslave" whatever dog they get?]
