Sources have said it is a Portuguese water dog, but to clarify, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin said on Chicago radio this morning that the Obamas would be getting their dog this week, but did not specify what kind of dog it is.
According to Katie McCormick Lelyveld, First lady Michelle Obama’s press secretary, the first family’s new dog is definitely not coming this week, CBS News reports. It is said that the family has apparently already selected the dog and met him a few weeks ago, but there is no clear statement on when the dog will come to live in the White House. Obama have made a comment that they would get the dog after the G20 summit.
Most of us know that the big Easter Egg Roll at the White House is this Monday, and I believe the president is set to fly to Mexico at the end of next week. The Obamas are particularly busy, but I think they would be able to manage squeezing in a few minutes to get the dog. We’ll see what happens!
