It's official: The White House pooch will arrive on Tuesday.


(h/t TMZ)

We have lots of exclusive details on the Portuguese
Water Dog President Barack Obama and Michelle are getting for Sasha and Malia. The pooch will make its grand entrance on Tuesday, and it's coming from a prominent Texas kennel, with the help of Senator Ted Kennedy's family.The black dog -- a male -- is approximately six months old. We've learned it was bred at the kennel and sold to someone who gave it back. The kennel is now "re-homing" the dog to the Obamas

The dog was named Charlie, but the Obamas will rename it.Now here's where the Kennedys come into play. The kennel has sold the Kennedys three Portuguese Water Dogs in the past, all from the same lineage

The dog the Obamas will be getting is from the same lineage as the Kennedy dogs. The Kennedy family will be presenting the new dog to the Obamas, but it's really coming from the kennel.

Update:
Dog name revealed! The girls named it Bo -- and let it be noted that you learned that here first. Malia and Sasha chose the name, because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because first lady Michelle Obama's father was nicknamed Diddley, a source said.

Update 2: White House website has posted the picture of Bo. Click here.

In time Barack will be Bo's care giver. Kids are so funny they love a pet but soon get lazy about caring for one. Now me I love cats as all of you know. Mr. Kitty Bowtie is at the top of my list. Everytime I see Puss-in-Boots I think of Mr. Kitty taking the bus to work and signing his check with his little paw. I wonder how he does that anyway?
