1. Chewed off the mic's SOCK!

:wtf:

[Raine1967]

2. I like this version much better:

Far less editied.

Listen to the press asking Bo questions! :rofl:
Go BoBama!

[Jackeens]

5. LOOOOOOOOOOOVED it! Thank you Raine1967!

:rofl:

[MoonRiver]

19. Lol, they egged him on!

I saw that guy trying to get him to play bite! :D

[HelenWheels]

23. That guy doesn't know dogs

That reaching out and slapping motion is guaranteed to get a dog to bite. Those reporters need some lessons in how to behave around dogs.

[MoonRiver]

27. Especially with a rambunctious, not to mention, big, puppy.

I guess when they have to start replacing expensive equipment they'll learn.

[Catshrink]

24. I need insulin!

That was so sweet! Nice little puppy.

[Cha]

33. "What do you think of the Cairo

Speech?":P

Thanks, Raine..That's one cute little ball of fur.

[Jackeens]

3. Is it wrong to want to marry a dog?

:shrug:

[Raine1967]

4. I love that puppy!

So vivacious! Such a pup!

(and smart enough to EAT THE PRESS! )

[shireen]

16. eat the press! lol! if only that were really true ...

i can just see him terrorizing the press daily briefings ...

that was fun, such a funny sweet dog.

7. No, there's always "animal husbandry"...

9. Call me old-fashioned, but: Uggggggggh! This is better:

My husband on my wedding day:



:-)

[Jennicut]

40. Ha! He is such an adorable cutie I almost want to dognap him!

Of course, the Secret Service would not be too happy and the Obama girls would cry so no I couldn't do that....

[vaberella]

6. No one helped her...n/t

[Raine1967]

8. As sympathetic as I am --- I would have been LMAO if I were there.

[renate]

45. I know! I was wondering whether I was being a Scrooge to think that

The camera operator had to hang on to the camera and couldn't really do anything to stop him, but shouldn't the guy walking him have helped her out? I don't blame Bo, obviously--he's a puppy--but I thought that it would have been nice for someone to try to distract him or something.

[Beaverhausen]

10. I wanna see pix and/or video of Sasha and Malia playing with him

[TahitiNut]

18. Yes and no. I LOVE those kids ... but I sure want them to stay ''grounded" and safe.

I'm one of the biggest suckers around for anything and everything to do with the First Daughters but I'd take a bullet for them, too. I'd hate to have anything that jeopardized their emotional and physical health.

[SoCalDem]

22. Bo is not "their" dog..

Unfortunately, those little girls did not have the opportunity to go and pick out a fluffy little puppy that they could baby and fuss over as little puppy-mommies. They were "given" a political pet..a rambunctious almost-grown male animal. They needed a 6 or 10 wk old female poodle puppy. They got a galumphing several-months old hound..who has chosen their Dad as favorite.

Sadly, the whole episode reminded me of when my clueless Mom got my sister a "stamp collection" at a garage sale... she thought my sister "needed a hobby", so she bought her an already filled in stamp collection book..:rofl:

[Retrograde]

37. same with my dog and my father

it was supposed to be us kids' dog, but my it was clearly my father's idea and choice.

Back to Bo: he's just acting like an adolescent. My 9-month old DestructoCat behaves the same way: if it's there, it's to be shredded. Come to think about it, my dog ate a hymnal at about that age.

Of course the dog chose Obama: they look for the dominant person.

[MiniMe]

11. Bo is a puppy, acting like a puppy

Lesson here, don't stick something that may be interesting to a puppy in a puppy's face, they will grab it and chew it. The press loves him. But use some common sense. Everybody there wanted to play with Bo. So cute.

[TahitiNut]

20. You could also tell he has a "soft mouth" and didn't bite HANDS stuck in his mouth.

Like ANY puppy under a year old, he'll chew ANYTHING that's chewable. But he's obviously been trained to know people aren't for chewing. That's good. His teeth are still VERY sharp and it's important to establish the "chew boundaries" very early and firmly.

[JuniperLea]

21. Like this?

Just a sweetheart:) He couldn't help it he was big and scary.

[MiniMe]

26. I think he has lost his puppy teeth by now, he is 7 or 8 months old

So not puppy teeth. He is a good boy, just playing with that funny thing that they stuck in his face. He was very well behaved when he was having his belly rubbed. I think he likes the limelight. LOL.

[Honeycombe8]

36. He could've damaged his teeth on the hard mike. My dog did on a metal crate.

Dogs teeth are strong, but not impervious to metal!

[MiniMe]

38. It was one of those rubberized ones.

But if you stick something tempting in front of a puppy, don't be surprised when they grab it. LOL.

[Cass]

12. I hope they have plenty of toys and chews for him inside!

At that age my lab wanted to chew on anything she could get her mouth on, lol.

I got a kick out of that video, thanks for posting it....Bo is such a cutie.

[karynnj]

13. The other "Bo" video at that link is cute too - and very British

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8074689.stm

[XOKCowboy]

42. The BBC seems especially enamoured with Bo...

Lots of videos of Bo on their website. The non-spill doggy water bowl was too cute.

[lunatica]

14. Bo is no Barney!

Look at how comfortable he is with the reporters. He's having so much fun. And the reporters are falling all over himself wanting to pet him too. Our First Dog is a hit!

[politicasista]

15. I don't have a dog, but Bo is so cute

and a lot cuter and nicer than Barney. :)

[Cleita]

25. Maybe the home Barney was raised in had a lot to do with

his hostility.

[politicasista]

28. That's true

Poor Barney. No wonder it bit that reporter after the election. :)

[TEXASYANKEE]

17. I'm impressed.

He does have all the youthful exuberance of a puppy, but he's not jumping on anybody. He seems to be a mannerly young thing. And adorable!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

29. Not as hilarious as Barney attaching the reporter, especially Keith's

slowed version! :lol:

[Raine]

30. He's ADORABLE

:loveya:

[janx]

31. ENOUGH WITH THE PRESS

He's gorgeous, but he needs time to romp and time with his family.

[XOKCowboy]

32. Where is HER video??

The video from the camera that got "attacked"? That's gotta be a great perspective. :)

[MiniMe]

39. I guess Bo is a little vain about closeup shots of his nose

:rofl:

[XOKCowboy]

41. At least the audio would be priceless!

[rainbow4321]

34. Yikes...probably not a good idea the way she put her hand up to his mouth

to get the mike sock loose. Not that he would have hurt her on purpose but still being a puppy he easily could have dropped the sock in exchange for some flesh.

[joshcryer]

43. No, the teasing is far worse. Bo won't bite you hard, but if you get 'em worked up...

...then he'll definately overbite. The teasing is creating bad behavior, though, biting should always be seen as bad.

[Honeycombe8]

35. Awwwwww. That was tooo cute! He's getting even cuter as he gets older.

What a sweet little fella. After he ate the mike, he picked up his play ball and walked off. So cute. He has a tennis ball, just like my dogs!

[HOLOS]

44. Cute BO
