New Dog Joins White House

Nope, this isn't a political post; it's a pet one. From the Daily Record:


A new presidential pooch, sired by a Parsippany man's Scottish terrier, will soon be roaming the halls of the White House.

President Bush marked Laura Bush's birthday Thursday by announcing he would give her a Scottish terrier puppy that is a relative of the current first dog, Barney. Mrs. Bush turned 58 on Thursday.

Miss Beazley, as the first lady and twins Barbara and Jenna have already named the pup, was born Oct. 28. The dog was named for the character Uncle Beazley, a dinosaur in Oliver Butterworth's children's book, "The Enormous Egg."

The five pups, each weighing eight ounces, were born last Thursday. Ms. Beazley was the lone female in the litter.

Miss Beazley's father is Ch. Motherwell Alberta Clipper, who sired Barney, and the mother is Blackwatch Elizabeth, said William Berry of Parsippany, owner of the father.


All the more proof that there are "family" people in the White House. And now Barney has someone to play with.
