Introducing: Bo, the Beanie Baby.
From the makers of "Marvelous Malia'' and "Sweet Sasha,'' those Beanie Babies that looked suspiciously like the first daughters at the White House -- a pair since renamed in the aftermath of objections from the First Lady -- comes a playful rendition of the Portuguese water dog that has taken up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Ty Inc. promises that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Beanie Bo will go to animal shelters -- which is where the Obama family once considered finding the dog that they promised the girls, until Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), found the perfect pet for the president's family, a litter-mate to one of his own PWDs.
If the now-extinct Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia already have become collectors' items, they still have "Bubbly Britney'' and "Hip Hannah'' for your consideration.
Or, Beanie Bo is, as they say, "available at select stores.''

Just remember:
Dogs give unconditional love (always)
and unconditional obedience (if properly trained).

Is there an original thought to be found at Ty Inc.?
