In Deutschland haben wir keinen "ersten Hund des Staates",
jedenfalls nicht in Form eines Hundes. Dafür gibt es aber in
Deutschland den Hund Cäsar, der täglich sein Tagebuch auf seiner
Webseite veröffentlicht. Schaut es Euch doch mal an.
The White House has a new star. It is the first
dog who now lives there. It's name is "Bo",six month young and
present of Ted Kennedy for Obama's Daughters, Malia and Sasha. The
presidential family is completely delighted about her new occupant
because Bo is already housebroken and also does not nibble the
pieces of furniture in the White House. He has received lessons in
good behaviour from the dog trainer of the Kennedy's family.
Obamas daughters have closed the dog already in her small hearts.
However, life is not easy for Bo in The White House because Barak
Obama has put up clear rules for the four-legged friend.
Every members of the family have to help when Bo want's to go out
in the morning, noon or evening, the president fixed. And there are
clear other bans, for example where it's allowed for Bo to sleep.
In his bed of course not, clarified Obama.
Another conflict will be their new garden project which is in
danger, because their housewife Michelle heard that this race likes
tomatoes. Nevertheless the president puts away with pleasure that
"Bo" is something special: "He is a star, he has star
qualities."
Now, in any case, both girls have a new job. They will have a lot
of work with the education of the first dog in the White House.
Despite the fact that Bob is a Portuguese water dog he cannot swim,
so he has to learn it.
The first dog in the White House is is only six month-old, but has
come round quite far. "Bo" was born in Texas, then some time lived
in Washington and came afterwards to Senator Ted Kennedy. The White
House is Bo's fourth home in his six months of life, therefore he
could become disoriented. The best thing The Obamas can do now for
Bo is for example to walk and play with him a lot, and before he
eats he should have to be hungry. So he will understand that his
new masters just will help him for activity, food and water. Upto
the age of abt 4 or 5 years The Obama Family will have a lot of fun
at the White House bcs Bo will be very frisky.
By the way, do know where the name Bo comes from? Many people think
from the initials of Barak Obama but it's only an illusion to "Bo
Diddley", an american Rock 'n' Roll- und Blues-legend.
The Portuguese water, in originally named Cão de Água Português, is
a Medium-sized and massive dog. Typically for this race is that the
whole body is richly covered by resistant hair without unterwool.
Therefore this race of dogs are suited very well for animal hair
allergy sufferer. For sure it was a criterion for Obama, because
both daughters Sasha and Malia both are allergic.
There can be two different variations: corrugated long hair and
shorter curled hair, plain or multicolored. Bo has black fur, a
white breast, white paws and a white goatee.
His character is discribed as a violent temperament,
unconventionally, proudly, modestly and untiringly dog. He is very
intelligent and understands all orders of his master and obeys
them.
On account of his good traits he often is used in Portugal and
America also as a therapy dog. Just in dealing with children they
turn out exceptionally thoughtful with a very high irritant
threshold.
