Speaking of the White House, Obama has apparently narrowed his choice to two breeds: Labradoodle and Portuguese Water Dog. Now, I used to run a pet business and since these are very trendy breeds I have a bit of experience with them and I just have two words to say about it - HIGH STRUNG or alternatively GOOD LUCK. No, I'm not bitter because they aren't choosing a Boston Terrier, I just know from experience that these two breeds can be a handful. Luckily the Obamas can afford the best trainers... they may need it. The other disappointing thing about it is that they are not going to find either of these breeds at a shelter or rescue group.

But what I really wanted to show you was this cute video:

Ruby and I are excited the show is finally underway however we are deeply disappointed that Ezzie the Boston Terrier was sent home. BOOOOOOOO. In true cheeky Boston style Ezzie barfed on the host and stole another contestant's skateboard! Despite this, she seriously was not the worst contestant and did not deserve to be eliminated.
