See Bo Chew

Photo from Daniel's Photostream

If you've ever had a puppy, I'll bet this photo (or something similar) is a familiar sight.

Puppies live to chew, a requirement of all those itchy little puppy teeth. Providing acceptable chew toys is important, but isn't a guarantee to save the day (or the shoe).

If it makes you feel any better, my latest reading on Bo, the First Dog, indicates that he's doing his share of chewing in the White House. Tennis shoes, magazines...if he finds it he will chew.

It's almost a relief to hear. If all the White House staff, Secret Service, and combined efforts of the Obama family can't prevent a few chewing accidents, well, my past history of pups who have destroyed everything from shirts, underwear, sox, books, furniture, Barbi dolls, and just about anything else you can imagine, doesn't sound half bad, does it?

I wonder...if young Bo eats something that requires a swift trip to the vet, could help with veterinary care insurance come next?

With my vet bills, I'll take all the assistance I can get.

Beanie Bo-Baby

Well I suppose it had to happen. The Ty Company has just released a brand new Beanie Baby modeled after...who else?

Bo, the First Pet.

So if you'd like a cuddly, no-worry version of the most famous Portuguese Water Dog on earth, check out your local retailer. It's reported that a portion of sales will be donated to animal welfare organizations, so your purchase will also be helping critters in need.

H'mmmm. I think he'd look cute perched atop my computer screen, don't you?
