In a visit Friday to the Long Branch Elementary School in Arlington, Virginia, President Barack Obama was asked by a student how much fun it is to live in the White House. The President responded with advice that’s good not just for students but all dog lovers:
You know, the truth is, I run around a lot in the White House, but most of the time I’m working. So it’s not like I’m just running around having fun. But sometimes it’s fun. Because the White House — how many people have visited the White House? So it’s a pretty — it’s a beautiful building, and there’s a big yard in the back called the South Lawn. So a lot of times I walk Bo at night, and that’s fun. Sometimes I run around with Bo, although I have to — sometimes I have to scoop up his poop.
Because I don’t want to just leave it in the lawn. So if you guys have a dog, you got to walk your dog too and clean up after him a little bit.
Always good advice: walk your dog and scoop the poop!
