Michelle Obama and Bo official photo

Today, we were fortunate enough to participate in a round table with the first lady to hear more about the Let's Move initiative and discuss motherhood issues for the modern mom. The event kicked off with a photo of Mrs. Obama and the adorable Bo. The first lady explained, "We get so many letters from kids, who want to hear about the garden, they want to see it, and they also want to see Bo. Bo Read more

Pictures of Bo Obama in Martha's Vineyard

With a slightly shorter coat than he wore on last August's Vineyard trip, Bo proudly prances off the plane, all eyes on him! The Obamas will be in Vineyard Haven until Aug. 29, so here's hoping we see more of the pooch — like a second annual presidential puppy parade! — but, 'til then, there are more photos of the first dog below!

Pictures of Bo Obama

Yo ho, Bo — the first dog is at it again! The cute presidential pooch trots along the South Lawn this morning on a walk before President Obama took off for Atlanta to address the Disabled American Veterans convention. The Portuguese Water Dog sniffs and scampers along seemingly oblivious to the cameras as he perhaps hunts for one of his favorite toys. He's only wearing a simple tan collar Read more

Pictures of President Obama's Dog at the Congressional Picnic

It's hard to get a grip on walk time, especially with high-energy pups . . . even for the president of the United States! On their way to the Congressional Picnic yesterday (which seems to excite Bo quite a bit), Obama had to use both hands to hold him back.Even though the leash has a loop, we see his grip wrap around the leash, not through the hole. After choosing your leash grip style, see more Read more

Bo Obama Takes a Bite Outta . . . Snow

Bo looks like he'd definitely answer yes to the snow equals snack question, and from the looks of it, he's a regular snow bunny as well. The recent storms plaguing the East Coast are good news for pets who love the fluffy wet stuff but a sad story for those with picky potty habits. To switch up play habits in the banks, pick out a brightly colored ball to contrast or try throwing snowballs Read more

Bo's Holiday Included Snow and Storytime!

With the recent Winter storms, the first puppy got a special treat last week — his first snow! Although there are no signs that he considers this a yummy snack, Bo definitely got in deep with the wet fluffy stuff and posed for pictures in DC. Since the work of a presidential pup is never done, he accompanied Michelle and the girls to a storytime at the Children's National Medical Center, Read more

Super-Cute Video: Bo Obama Rings in the Season with Bells On

Bo showed off his holiday spirit with a jingling collar and tons of tricks for Oprah at the weekend's Christmas at the White House special. A high five? Pretty impressive, lil pup. If nothing else, I'm pleased to see I'm not the only one using happy puppy voice to speak to my pet! Watch the video to see the first dog in action — he's rushing in for his camera time with bells on! Read more

Found! Bo Obama's Starry Leash

Lucky dog! First pooch Bo has a rotation of enviable leashes and collars — not only does he ♡ Obama but now he's showing off his true colors of red, white, and blue with a starry leash. A White House staffer took the Portuguese Water Dog for a stroll around the South Lawn on Oct. 31 and I zoomed right in to find a pattern nearly identical. "Patriotic Stars" comes in collars (regular and Read more

Michelle Obama Walking Bo

Sloooow down there, Bo — I wanna get a good look at you! We've seen both Barack and the girls taking care of the first pooch, and here's Michelle walking (or getting walked by) this cute pup. It's great to have a family of humans to chip in for the dog walking (especially for early morning or late night duties) but who's left holding the leash most often in your household?

First Dog Bo and the Obamas on Sept. 15

Welcome home — what better way to pass time than with the super-cute Bo! Sasha and Malia played with the pup while waiting for the presidential helicopter to land on the South Lawn yesterday and then the trio reunited with a group hug. (Group "awwww.") I'm betting they shared tales of this cute pup while the president was off on official business, but Bo still shows his daddy love and Read more
