The Obama Dog House? That's 'Summa Canum' to you
When the Obama dog finally arrives, he or she will need a place to stay.
So how about this specially designed White (dog) House?
Wow.
The Obama Dog Home comes from Sustainable Pet Design and is formally called Summa Canum (that's Latin for "Top Dog"). Los Angeles landscape designer Stephanie Rubin, owner of the company and inventor of something called the Greenrrroof Animal home, already has arranged delivery of the gift.
Sustainable Pet Design is pleased to introduce Summa Canum, The Obama Dog Home ... created not only to provide an appropriately sustainable and stylish home for the new leader of the free canine world, but to introduce eco-friendly pracitces and materials to the American people.
Modeled on Greek Revival architecture (looks sort of like the Banning Mansion, doesn't it?), the dog house is constructed from the wood of Tennessee Aromatic Cedar trees that President Andrew Jackson planted along the driveway of his estate.
I could go on.
But it's all pretty much left me speechless and in awe.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
