Seriously, herding fish into the nets of Portuguese fishermen is one of the skills of the Portuguese Water Dog. I don’t think there will be much opportunity to herd fish at the White House. Herding cats (senators) maybe. First Lady Michelle Obama announced today that her family will be welcoming a rescued Portuguese Water Dog in April. Similar to a poodle (the standard version) the breed is known to be almost non-allergenic. Congrats to John on the Peninsula. He guessed the breed and won tickets on today’s KDFC Lunch Box trivia to hear The 5 Browns next week at The Marin Center. The Obamas are asking for name ideas. Would you believe Porto?
Dear Dianne, I read your blog this week.

I like the name of a famous net fisherman who would have loved having a dog like this one to herd fish into his nets in the sea of Galilee – his name should be Peter or pete or perhaps better, Galilee, Gali, for short…To remember all those saintly fisherman…- – Del
