BO HAS HALF SISTER IN BEMIDGI (a place in Minessota full of weird names)
” A Bemidji family has a White House canine connection.
Ruby, a 2-year-old Portuguese water dog owned by Julie Quanrud and her husband, Ric Meixell, is the half-sister of President Barack Obama’s new family dog, Bo.
“I was suspicious because the muzzle is the same,” Quanrud said, adding that she became even more suspicious when she saw the Obama family’s dog had the exact same white markings as Julius, a full sibling of Ruby’s.

“She’s an outgoing dog, but Julie’s an outgoing person,” Meixell said. “I think Beryl noticed they had similar personalities.”
“She’s been very instrumental in helping us,” Meixell said of Nord.
“She’s like our dog mentor,” Quanrud said.
