20 Sweet: Animal Songs

It's not even three months into the new presidency, but one of President Obama’s most important victory speech promises has already been fulfilled: the White House has a new first puppy.

While I do feel a tinge of jealousy towards Sasha and Malia given that my only pets growing up were fish, I also think that “Bo,” the Obamas’ new pooch, should be honored somehow. That's why this week's 20 Sweet celebrates the animals in our lives.
