1. That was to cute, Bo is to cute.....

[Submariner]

24. The White House lawn is just the right height for pooping

I'm glad Barack got re-elected for Bo's sake. And I didn't want to see Bo lose his Boeing 747 privileges.

[MotherPetrie]

2. K&R for Bo. He's precious.

[onehandle]

3. Disgusting. All of that religious paraphernalia on public land.

When will the Atheist religion be represented at the White House!!?

...heh.

[AlbertCat]

15. When will the Atheist religion be represented at the White House!!?

Never

Because Atheism isn't any kind of religion.


And all I saw were garlands and the pagan Tannenbaum.

And a wish for JOY to EVERYONE.

What religious symbols?


Well, I suppose "dog" is "god" backwards.

[coldbeer]

17. Wow! great post

There are atheists all around us. The problem
is they are unaware of their atheism. Each
time they recite our anthem they pledge atheism.

The deity is understood to be GOD. If you understand
GOD you do not say I pledge allegiance to God. If you
pledge then you doubt. If you put GOD on your
flag or your money you do not have faith. Faith is
like affection ... it is natural.

19. There is a joke...

... called the agnostic dyslexic, insomniac


he stays up all night wondering if there is a dog.

[PDJane]

43. I had that on a tee shirt years ago.

[RoccoR5955]

30. That's all that god is to me

And you should remember it too!
God ain't nothing more than dog spelled backwards.
Soon to be a book.

[awoke_in_2003]

44. I am an atheist...

what is this religion you speak of? As far as the decorations go, those trace back to pagans.

[dawn frenzy adams]

49. Huh?

I didn't see any decorations that had anything to do with the Christian aspect of Christmas. The trees, lights, garland, etc, etc., are derived more from the pagan celebration of the holiday.

[lalalu]

4. Creepy how dogs and certain animals can behave just like humans.

Sometimes I think they behave better.

We had a family of crows on our property and they did things I just thought were really curious. I then read about how smart crows are and know how they recognize and interact with individual humans.. I asked my mother who grew up on a farm and she verified some of their habits.

I wonder if Bo disapproved of anything and left his mark

[liberal N proud]

5. Bo must be a well mannered dog

[robbob]

9. We can hope...

Maybe he pee'd on Romneys leg...

[1StrongBlackMan]

12. I know ...

any one of my three dogs would have left a "present" on the tree.

(They are 11 year old, male, Poodles that refuse to be housebroken. Everytime they come close, one will forget his manners and the other two will follow behind to add their contribution. BTW, does anyone know whether it's too late? Or, should I just resign myself to daily "pee pee patrol?&quot

[jeff47]

23. Despite the saying, you can teach an old dog new tricks. (nt)

[Cleita]

29. I love poodles they are so smart and they have a memory.

They don't bow to the alpha man as easily as other dogs do.

[BigAnth]

50. I love poodles too, but Bo is a Portuguese water dog.

I saw a poodle at the dog park the other day with a shaggy cut and I thought that he was a Portuguese water dog. They can be easily mistaken for each other.

[Rhiannon12866]

48. My beautiful cocker spaniel was housebroken at age 10-11

He came from rescue and had never been housebroken before, had been a "stud dog" at a "commercial kennel." He was rescued after he became too old and found me. I had him for eight wonderful years, had such a sweet temperament and was the best dog I ever had for not going in the house. It just took patience and a schedule.

[kestrel91316]

53. Well Step #1 is: Make sure they have all been neutered. If they haven't,

you are completely stuck with dogs that will pee everywhere.

[1StrongBlackMan]

55. All three ...

are neutered.

[SamKnause]

6. Bo

He is certainly a cutie.

[PDJane]

7. Bo is a delight,

and appears to be a very well-trained dog. Well-loved, too!

[yesphan]

8. Yes, Bo is very cute.

I wonder though, does he have paws or thrusters like Astro Boy ? I couldn't see any paws.

[chalky]

13. I was just thinking the same thing.

That cut gives his paws the oddest look.

[Worried senior]

10. This will put the rw evangelicals

over the edge. Last year they had a fit because he was on the Christmas card and they had handmade replicas of him around the decorations.

They were made out of garbage bags etc. by volunteers, cost us nothing but the rw was screaming about it anyway.

They cannot love anything except themselves. I love Bo and so glad to see they treat him like a member of the family.

[AlbertCat]

16. This will put the rw evangelicals over the edge.

Well, at least there were no crack pipes on the tree....

[MFM008]

11. good dog!

hopefully he left a steaming pile for Mitt.

[RoccoR5955]

31. A steaming pile of Santorum

for Mitt.

[catbyte]

14. Bo is just so darn cute. He's like a walking fuzzy toy

[Auntie Bush]

18. What an adorable dog! The family must love him soooo much.

Isn't the White House gorgeous? Those lucky girls must have a ball checking out all those beautiful decorations. I wonder how many BO ate?

[Patiod]

21. I had the same thought about the girls.

I hope they get to invite their school friends over. I used to love to see my friends' Christmas trees - imagine if your friend lived in THAT house.

[notadmblnd]

20. So many many trees yet no place to pee.

[Bette Noir]

22. I want a stuffed Bo.

That's the cutest dog on the planet.

[Brigid]

28. I want one too.

I wonder where I could find one?

[GoCubsGo]

46. Amazon.com

Where else?

25. kicking for later

[a kennedy]

26. Awwwww

so cute. Great video.

[mnhtnbb]

27. Wow. Bo is one very well trained and behaved dogger!

I got to see him romping on the back lawn once--when I was visiting DC--from a distance, of course!

[Frustratedlady]

32. I would LOVE to have a BO.

So sweet. I think of Teddy K. every time I see him.

[pegasis]

33. SHARE SHARE SHARE

SHARING with all of my friends, especially the Repubs. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

[lunatica]

41. that was very nice

I've never seen the interior White House Christmas decorations other than one tree. Very elaborate and warm!

I don't do Christmas but I really like the decorations.

[ReRe]

42. The part I like the best is.....

the first few moments when you can see nothing but his puffy feet walking along..

Merry Christmas to our FIRST DOG !

[GoCubsGo]

45. The part I like best is...

That cute, cute doggie will be our First Dog for four more years! Wish they'd get a First Cat, too.

[peacebird]

51. That is a whole lotta trees... Love the tribute to Bo at the end!

[MrNice100]

52. Sit bo bo sit... Good dog!

K&R

[kestrel91316]

54. I love where he's got the Santa hat on and is looking up at the stuffed Bo with ITS Santa hat.

And yes, he seems VERY calm and well-mannered.
