Jan 6, 2005 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush and his wife, Laura, got a new pet on Thursday, a Scottish terrier puppy named Miss Beazley.

The puppy, a gift to the first lady from the president for her 58th birthday in November, was born on Oct. 28. The puppy joins the Bushes' other two pets: Barney, another Scottish terrier, and a black cat named India.

Miss Beazley, named after a dinosaur in a popular children's book, is the daughter of Barney's half-brother.

The 10-week-old puppy, which was introduced to the press corps on the South Lawn of the White House, proved to be camera shy, opting to run behind a bush rather than pose for a picture.

[The Zanti Regent]

30. Gee, and here I thought it was Adam Nagourney...

4. Man, you sure did!

:)

[NYC]

7. Yes, you did.

That's devastating.

[daleo]

3. At least Barney will have someone he can stand.

It looks to me like he hates the chimp.

The puppy will share Barney's pain.

On edit - I kind of feel sorry for Blair though.

[lebkuchen]

41. *chuckle*

How long before this pooch gets dropped on its head?

If I were Laura, I'd go with a parakeet instead.

[daleo]

47. It would speak better English than the Shrub. n/t

[Coventina]

5. Camera shy? More like ashamed to be photographed with the Bush Family

Poor little girl.

[ElectroPrincess]

11. Awe, but Barney's gonna have to teach his little Sister to fight ...

especially with a pansy-a**ed name like "Miss Beazley." :puke:

[The_Casual_Observer]

6. One bitch is old & ugly , the other isn't.

[agincourt]

8. First thing I thought,

Is that Zell Miller is too old to be considered a puppy.

[despairing optimist]

9. When will they start adopting shelter animals?

Obsessed with "pure" blood lines. What a shame. Ultimately one puppy out there won't be so lucky.

[ernstbass]

40. I fully agree

and I was thinking as I viewed this on tv what a tremendous service Bitch Bush could do for shelter animals by adopting one and publicizing the need to adopt rather than breeding or buying. Such a shame.

[LSparkle]

10. "Broadcast News"

comes to life.

[YDogg]

12. Didn't know the old bitch ...

... was expecting.

[MichiganVote]

13. A new puppy is news? Who gives a rip?

[Solly Mack]

14. named after a dinosaur, eh?

hmmm

[stevedeshazer]

15. I'm sure they were creationist dinosaurs

:shrug:

[Solly Mack]

19. Yes..intelligent design designer dinosaurs that walked with humans

[daleo]

23. Perhaps named after Noah's pet dinosaur. n/t

[Solly Mack]

24. lol

[AngryOldDem]

42. Mrs. Beazley was also the name of Buffy's doll in Family Affair

the show from the 1960s with the bachelor playboy and his gentleman's gentleman raising three orphans.

I know. Who gives a shit?

[peekaloo]

43. hmmmmm.....Buffy and Pickles have more than one shared interest?

;-)

[AngryOldDem]

48. LOL

[Solly Mack]

44. I know. I watched the show a time or two (or 20) as a child.

Mr. French was my favorite. :)

[Politicub]

16. Awww... der fuher's Frau Bush got a puppy

It's not like there was a challenge to Ohio's electoral slate or anything today.

[LisaM]

17. Oh, come now, their pets are the best thing about them

I for one, will not criticize a pet dog. I also liked when Laura's Xmas theme was White House Pets a few years ago.

I agree it's not top news, but on the other hand, anyone adopting a puppy is a good thing.

I totally agree with the fact that they should adopt a shelter dog, though.

[Solly Mack]

20. I would never blame a pet for it's owner

[rooboy]

18. Maybe Dick Cheney and Scalia can drop by and shoot it. n/t

[fooj]

21. Well, isn't that special! Show up for a puppy...

but not for an electoral challenge?:puke:

[madison2000]

22. Something to KICK when no Dems are around

:silly: :mad: :freak: :wtf:

[Autobot77]

25. Awww.......Poor thing

How many times has Bush dropped Barney? Hopefully Ms. Beazley won't let * get anywhere near her.

[Sparkly]

26. "the daughter of Barney's half-brother"

They won't even trust a DOG from outside "the Family???"

[stevedeshazer]

31. Miz Beazley to Barney:

Uncle Dad!!

[Nihil]

39. Bush to Barney:

"Now don't go humping your niece ... well, not in front of the camera
anyway <wink><wink><smirk>"

[Algorem]

27. Thought maybe they were giving Clinton a little house out back.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

28. I hope the puppy craps on everything and everyone.

STARTING with Empress Pickles.

[Whoa_Nelly]

29. Wasn't one sick puppy in the WH

enough for Pickles???

'nuff said.

[Swamp Rat]

32. Meanwhile in the Projects...

[uncle ray]

33. wasn't this dog featured

with barney in the white house propaganda movies that were posted befor echristmas?

[AngryOldDem]

49. Yes.

That video was so damned pointless and unfunny.

What pissed me off about that the most was the bit where the guy was chewing out Andy Card about the cost of tree tinsel. Don't know who this guy was -- wasn't Unka Karl.

It will be interesting to hear how well Barney takes to the new addition. Bush might want to watch where he sits down. Spite shits may be a'comin'.

[Arkana]

35. So Tony Blair has decided to shack up with the Bushies?

I never would have predicted it. :evilgrin:

[Princess Turandot]

37. The family IQ probably just went up 10 points..eom

[stevedeshazer]

38. LOL

You're probably right.

[goclark]

45. Ticker tape said "a minor little squabble"@ Elect. college

yesterday with two members," then it mentioned something about all being well.

That ran under the 2 minute segment about a new puppy that will be abused in the WH!

I am still in shock!!!!!

[FlaGranny]

46. They're still looking

for a dog who will like *, or at least one who won't run away from him.

[drscm]

50. Considering the state of affairs, are they going to open a kennel?
