Sunday Jan. 6, 2001; 12:44 p.m. EST Buddy to be Memorialized at Clinton Library Former First Dog Buddy Clinton, who was run over by an SUV in Chappaqua, New York Thursday while Bill and Hillary Clinton were off vacationing in Acapulco, will be memorialized this week by the William J. Clinton Presidential Library Foundation at its headquarters in Little Rock, Ark., according to U.S. News & World Report's "Washington Whispers."

Former first cat Socks, the pet of President Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, has been laid to rest at the Arkansas Governor's Mansion in Little Rock. A portion of the black-and-white cat's ashes were scattered in a flower garden on the west side of the mansion in the spring, according to the Northwest Arkansas Morning News.

Pres. Obama told Harry Smith that "I would not want just a calm, passive dog. I want a dog with a little bit of spirit." Maybe so when picking a family pet. But when it comes to the media, PBO apparently prefers a lapdog. Witness Smith's tail-between-the-legs performance that won him a huge smile from the prez. Over the course of two days, the Early Show aired clips of Smith's recent interview of the PBO. Toward the end of today's segment, Smith says: "People in the mainstream media have been accused of being afraid to speak truth to power. I've...

The Obama family's dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog, poses on the South Lawn of the White House. (Official White House Photo by Chuck Kennedy) There's not much we can tell you about the just-released official White House portrait of First Puppy Bo Obama ... except that, yes, he's still adorable, and still treating his office with the dignity and respect it deserves.

It’s news everyone has been waiting for.President Obama’s dog has an official photograph. Sure, it’s taken a long time. But we can all agree, after looking at the photo, that it’s been worth the wait. Nice Sitting on the South Lawn of the White House, Bo appears to be collar free. Although we’re not entirely sure, it looks like one of his eyes may even be visible in the shot.Along with the photo, the White House has included a baseball card listing all the important characteristics, traits, and ambitions for the First Dog.His favorite hobby? Playing on the White House...

The majority of uniformed Americans will see this and say they have a President that's in touch, this plays on Oprah and Showbiz Tonight, and not a one of these same people will know that in the same week, Obama failed miserably on Iran and smeared a Inspector General for political reasons.....burns me up..

In a wide-ranging interview on Thursday night, David Axelrod opened up about comparisons to Karl Rove, the White House dress code, President Obama’s battle against smoking, the First Family’s new dog and even Miss California. He did this all on a game show. The senior adviser to the president and former campaign consultant was the special guest on National Public Radio’s “Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” which made a road trip to George Washington University in the nation’s capital for an episode that will air this weekend. Mr. Axelrod – or, as host Peter Sagal called him, “the moustache behind the...

It was as though Vice President Biden time-warped back to last fall. Because on Sunday he was in full campaign attack mode. Oh, it was an idyllic setting. Nobody saw it coming. The vice president had just finished delivering the commencement address at Syracuse University and stopped by to chat with students at Bellevue Elementary School. During the intense question and answer period, one child asked the vice president if he had ever petted a dog. “Yeah, but guess what? I’ve got a dog that lives with me,” Biden replied. “The smartest, coolest dog in the world.” Normally, you’d leave...

Barack Obama's dog, Bo, has been given a book deal, just a day after entering the White House. A deal has already been done to publish "Bo America's Commander In Leash", a children's book that is due to be released next week. According to Mascot Books, the publisher, the book will follow "Bo on an exciting adventure as he learns all about the White House and experiences the traditions that make it such a special place." The book will feature guest appearances by Mr Obama, his wife Michelle Obama, Senator Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden the Vice President. It has...

Dear Diary: Today, I officially move into the White House. As the new First Pet, I should be thrilled. But I have mixed feelings. My first meeting with the Obama family was so-so. The First Lady, Michelle, patted my head (too hard) and joked (too long) about the Hawaiian lei I was forced to wear that day. "Girls, isn't Bo adorable?" she asked her daughters. "He looks like he's wearing a tiny boa! Doesn't he remind you of the pigs we saw in Honolulu last year?" Who the hell is Bo? I thought. My name is Charlie. And while I...

Joe the Biden can't catch a break, can he? Breeder getting death threats over "dirty housekeeping" because Biden didn't "adopt"? Come on you Leftist nuts, even I can give Biden some slack on this one. I love dogs and animals, but I celebrate when Leftists like PETA attack Leftists like Biden. Another example of our salvation; the "populist" Left has no real agenda. They just like to cause trouble over anything and everything.

My name is Bo. I’m not sure why I’m here. They brought me over a few weeks ago from that puppy training place in Virginia to “get acquainted,” whatever that means. Immediately, I couldn’t stand the place. First they had that wild staring lunatic who’s missing part of a finger follow me around with a hydraulic pooper scooper and biodegradable wee-wee pads, just in case I had to go in the Oval Office. I hear it wouldn’t be the first time someone defiled that floor, so what’s the big deal? They also had me meet that guy Gibbsy. You know,...

President Barack Obama showed off his latest policy initiative - the new family pet - on Tuesday as he and his family paraded their six-month-old Portuguese water dog across the White House lawn. The hotly-anticipated animal, who has been renamed Bo by the Obama children, made his debut in front of massed ranks of reporters and photographers. "He's got star quality," said Mr Obama as he, his wife and daughter Malia took turns holding Bo's lead. "I finally got a friend. It took some time," the President joked, referring to Harry Truman's famous line, "If you want a friend in...

President Barack Obama's gift of a dog to his two daughters has angered animal welfare activists who argued that he broke a promise to adopt a dog from a shelter. Bo, the six-month-old black and white Portuguese water dog who was a gift from Senator Edward Kennedy, was due to have his official unveiling at the White House last night. Though he was given up by his first owners, the puppy spent no time in a rescue shelter and instead was treated to a month with the senator's dog trainer before being handed over to the White House. Dr Jana...

Wooolf at CNN is having Obamasm with BO (Barack Obama) the new first dog. How symbolic, dog is black (africanamerican) and white, has first B/W president's initials for his name. Not teleprompter trained yet. Screw us and tax us so we can share our "wealth" with BO's pizza parties and dogs. Wonder if media will be directed to call unclean dog President BO? What Tea Parties?

I think it's odd that this dog was donated by Ted Kennedy. That said, the puppy is cute and Sasha and Malia are off limits for criticism. They are adorable, well-mannered kids who are off limits. Hume: Uhhhh....Bo's not my type of dog. I like the name but it doesn't seem to fit that little, sort of girly little dog. Chris Wallace says "as the host of this show, there will be no Bo bashing on this show!" Haha! Pets in The White House are always a great source of humor.

Bo, the new White House puppy, stayed indoors today, since there were thousands of people on the South Lawn for the Easter Egg Roll. He’s still getting acclimated to his new home, and agreed to take a few questions in the family quarters of the White House.

Humor me a minute. I have a disturbing story about my web Site and Blog. I publish a web site with advice for buying a puppy. It contains information about dealing with breeders and avoiding pet stores and puppy mills. It also contains some dog news (remember this for later) and training tips. My Blog has similar articles and is heavily cross linked with my web site.I recently added Google AdSense to generate a few pennies of revenue here and there. The Blog and Main Site have very similar levels of traffic, but the Blog is the only place earning...
