Obo And Family Begin Vacation In Maine...

With Bo arriving in in his very own First-Doggie-1 jet ahead of the family...

Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.; and the president's personal aide Reggie Love, who chatted with Baldacci.

I guess the 747 used to transport the first family wasn't big enough to accommodate Bo. Does sound like something that, say, the Queen of England or some other branch of royalty would do. 

Doesn't it?

No traveling with the stinky mutt. Send him along before or after, with some go-fer. For budgetary sanity, I sincerely hope that the First-Orthodontist wasn't given HIS own jet, too.
