Today in Slow News: Meet Bo, The New Obama Puppy

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Apr 12, 2009 5:30PM

It's a holiday weekend, so we knew it was going to be a slow weekend. Still, it's hard to be cranky about anything when looking at Bo, the Obama's new six-month old Portuguese water dog, a gift from Sen. Ted Kennedy (a Democratic U.S. Senator from Massachusetts).

We'd like to formally invite Bo - upon his next visit to the Obama's home town of Chicago - to take part in a play date with the dogs of Chicagoist. As long as he's got his license, that is.
