I am a sucker for cute stories, especially about kids and this story in PEOPLE magazine about the New Dog in the white house made me smile. No matter who you voted for, or what you believe, you must agree that Barack Obama's children are adorable and deserve a puppy! They are going to have to endure a lot of press, a lot of time without their father, and also a new house to grow up in - I am glad they are getting the dog that they were promised!
Children are amazing!
Children make life worth living.
Children make me smile each day!
What Kind of Dog Should Malia & Sasha Get?
Not since Knut, the polar bear, has an animal so captured the public's imagination – and this one hasn't even been found yet.
Speaking before the world at his victory rally in Chicago on Tuesday night, President-elect Barack Obama told daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7: "I love you more than you can imagine, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House."
Presidential Dogs
When the four-legged addition to the Obama family moves into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., he or she will be joining a long roster of First Pets dating back to George Washington's administration. (The Father of Our Country, in fact, owned several dogs.)
Currently, Scottish terriers Barney and Miss Beazley Bush occupy the manse, and, before them, Bill Clinton's chocolate Lab Buddy. George HW Bush shared the halls with Millie, a Springer spaniel (and the only First Pet to pen a book) and one of Millie's puppies, ranger.
In terms of young children and their companions in executive mansion, Amy Carter (who was 9 when she moved in with her parents in 1977) made room for her cat, Misty Malarky Ying Yang, while from 1961-63 the Kennedy menagerie included cats, dogs, a canary, rabbit and Caroline Kennedy's pony, Macaroni.
