May I make a suggestion on the New First Puppy?

On CNN this morning a lady suggested a Boston Terrier because they are the first American Breed, and always look classy. Kirin Chetry said she has one, but suggested it would’nt be a good idea because they are so hyper. BUT, Boston’s are great with young children and would keep the Obama girls very busy. They are also very friendly unlike GW Bush’s current rabid dog who bites reporters (I think GW dropped him on his head one too many times). I will be elated if they choose a Boston, but as one person also suggested a dog from a shelter may be the best choice.
