Before the First Dog officially arrived at the White House, the President and First Lady received a gift of two porcelain dog bowls and an orthopedic dog bed and mattresses during their trip to Prague. Lillibed, the European company who manufactured the canine accoutrements, has taken full advantage of the situation, putting up firstdogbowl.com (and firstdogbed.com which redirects there). One of the bowls is decorated with Swarovski crystals. The other is plainer but is dishwasher safe. Both are plated with 24 karat gold and all items feature a special First Dog seal. Mirek Topolanek, EU President and outgoing Czech Prime Minister, made the presentation.
