WASHINGTON — Bo, the White House dog, has his very own Christmas stocking.
First lady Michelle Obama made the revelation in an interview with Oprah Winfrey for her “Christmas at the White House” special, scheduled to air Sunday night on ABC. Winfrey’s company, Harpo Productions, released excerpts of the interview Friday.
Asked which members of the Obama family have a stocking, Michelle Obama named President Barack Obama, herself, daughters Malia and Sasha and “of course” the family’s Portuguese water dog.
She did not give any details about what might be going into Bo’s stocking but said Santa loves Bo.
Winfrey also asked the couple about their favorite childhood Christmas gifts.
Michelle Obama said her favorite was a metal dollhouse with plastic furniture that she wasn’t sure what to do with.
“I really didn’t know how to set up a house, so I had all the furniture lined up along the walls as opposed to nestled around the fireplace, but I loved that little dollhouse,” she said.
Obama said he remembered getting his first “big-kid, 10-speed” bicycle because that is always a special moment in a boy’s life.
