Obama's getting a family dog!

Last night during Obama's speech he discussed making many changes, and honoring promises. One promise he made to his children is that they will get a new puppy when they move into the White House. So exciting!

A fun book I found about White House dogs is "American Presidents and their Best Friends." The book introduces such memorable characters as FDR's Scottie, Fala, who attended the signing of the Atlantic Charter aboard the cruiser Augusta; Millie, Bush's springer spaniel, who dictated her own bestselling memoir; and Lincoln's mongrel, Fido, who sadly suffered the same fate as his master.

It will be interesting to see what kind of dog the Obama's will pick for their family and how that pooch will add character to the White House!
