We're getting to know Bo. Today we learned from First Lady Michelle Obama that the First Dog is "kind of crazy."

She was meeting with more than 100 children visiting the White House for Take Your Child to Work Day, and a hot topic was, of course, the six-month-old Portuguese water dog that joined the family last week. 

Here are some of our favorite quotes from the First Lady, and what they might say about the still-emerging personality of the pet that the president promised his daughters, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10.

-- "It was like 10 o'clock. Everybody was asleep and we hear all this barking and jumping around. The president and I came out and we thought somebody was out there. And it was just Bo. He was playing with his ball."

Our take: Bo is going to be the night owl of the family.

-- "He loves to chew on people's feet." 

Our take: Portuguese water dogs are known to be "mouthy," so no surprise here that he likes to nibble on toes. Entertaining him with toys, as many Portie owners have pointed out, is the answer. 

-- "Right now I'm taking care of this puppy, so I'm doing a lot of dog walking and dog training.''

Our take: We always suspected that Michelle Obama would be in charge of Bo's care within the family. You could even see that during his official debut.

-- When one child asked what would happen if Bo ran away, she replied: "I think everyone at the White House would probably help go out and find him. That's why we're working on training him, so that he doesn't run away and he listens when we call him. And so far he's doing OK, so we hope we don't have that problem."  

Our take: Something tells us that the Secret Service wouldn't allow the world's most famous dog to go far.
