Bo Obama's Half-Sister Ruby Discovered In Minnesota

BEMIDJI, Minn. — It's not everyday you learn a member of your household has a relative in the White House. But Julie Quanrud and husband Ric Meixell said they noticed things very familiar about the Obama family's new pet, Bo the Portuguese water dog.

Quanrud said she was suspicious because the 6-month-old Bo's muzzle is the same as that of their 2-year-old Ruby. And the white markings on Bo's black coat duplicate those of Julius, a full sibling of Ruby.

An investigation determined Ruby and Bo have the same father, named Valkyrie's Dr. Watson Is Here.

So Ruby is a half-sister of the presidential pooch.

Quanrud said Bo is a great choice for the Obamas because of all the attention he will get.

Is it a citizen?

Jon Stuwart said that "Bo is the first openly gay White House dog". If that's true, we really have come a long way.

What in the world?!

I read the hole post today in the Start Tribune; it was so funny, i must also say the Huffington Post readers are the BEST!

[courtreporter]

Hey, little Ruby .... since you're from Minnesota, can you go pee and bite Michelle Bauchmann?? And while you're at it, tell Norm in a bad barking tone that he's lost. Maybe he'll listen to a dog.

Matt Drudge is personally investigating whether or not she is in this country illegally as we speak...

The breed has just jumped in desirability and therefore is now worth more money.

As someone concerned about the security of our nation, I demand to see the birth certificate for this so-called "First Dog" so that I can determine if it was indeed born in the USA. I will also need to see the birth certificates of both parents to make a similar determination.

The reason i ask is because this dog looks strangely similar to the one I saw in a madrassa in Indonesia during my last visit to Jakarta.

I can only hope that many other good Americans out there have noticed the absence of a flag collar pin on this animal.

lol yes its that absurd

[Rog49Thomas]

Or bed wetting scary depending on your political views.

As a good American, I come down without question on the side of fear.

[RoseBlue]

I'm with you Rog!! And ONLY those official certificates issued by the AKC I hope, not one of these phoney-baloney copies that have clearly been tampered with!! :)

[Rog49Thomas]

I'm glad to see that even in a liberal hotbed like HuffPo there are still a few real Americans.

[mamased]

Is this a Christian dog????

[Rog49Thomas]

As I noted I saw a dog that looked similar at a madrassa in Indonesia.

When you become famous, "new" relatives come out of the wood works - even animals.

[MsIrisMG]

Good grief, now they're going to hound -- pardon the pun -- all the people who have either raised or owned relatives of the Obama puppy. When will it end? When they crank up pupp production from the dog's parents so that more people can have one?!

[listentome]

Please tell me that this article is a joke.

[Melissa]

God help us all!!! I also hope this article is a joke.
