WASHINGTON (AP) — It's hardly a dog's life of just eating and sleeping for President Barack Obama's pets Bo and Sunny.
The Portuguese water dogs are popular canine ambassadors for the White House. They've become so in demand that they have schedules, like the president.
Michelle Obama says she gets a memo every month with a request for the dogs' schedules and she approves their appearances.
Seven-year-old Bo and nearly 4-year-old Sunny have entertained crowds at the annual Easter Egg Roll. Bo has been at the first lady's side when she welcomes tourists to the White House.
The dogs have cheered wounded service members and hospitalized children, and beeen a big part of Christmas at the Obama White House.
