Michelle Obama posted one of the first photos of Sunny on Twitter with the message:

“So excited to introduce the newest member of the Obama family — our puppy, Sunny!”

This week The Discovery Channel is once again holding its annual Shark Week. It’s a great time to watch specials about the great creatures and take time to learn facts about their habitats, present threats and just be entertained.
