Ken,
It must be a snub of some sort, right? Like how Obama has been snubbing the French by being nice to their FORMER president.
Maybe this breed USED to be popular in Portugal, or something. Probably, the secret code is in the dog’s adoptive name. Bo? WTF?
David,
In response to another comment. See in context »Sources tell me the dog is named for either Bo Diddley or Bo Derek. If you want to name anything after a great American, you have little choice but to start with those two towering figures.
Ken,
Are we sure that this isn’t short for Beauregard, and is yet another veiled slap at Sarkozy?
I admire the time and effort you put into your blog. I wish I had the same drive
