Where's the puppy, Obama?

Now that Pres. Obama is back from his week-long trip to hobnob with the heads of state and our soldiers in Iraq, he needs to concentrate on the really important things.

Like when the heck are the kids getting a dog?

The Houston Chronicle has some other questions for him as well. Read them here.

According to the article Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., hinted during a radio interview the pooch will be a male Portuguese water dog puppy.

Some of the questions posed in the article:

• Where did they find a rescue puppy?

• Curly or wavy coat?

• What will he be named?

• Will it have a security escort?

Inquiring minds want to know.

UPDATE: The CBS News Political Hotsheet quotes the first lady's press secretary as saying the dog has been picked out but will not be arriving this week. Stay tuned.
