New puppy to pad around White House (Miss Beazley-Related to Barney)

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/11/04/presidential.pooch.ap/index.html

A new presidential pooch 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.

Miss Beazley, as the first lady and twins Barbara and Jenna have already named the pup, was born October 28. She is due to arrive just before Christmas.

The dog was named for the character Uncle Beazley, a dinosaur in Oliver Butterworth's children's book, "The Enormous Egg."

Another poor pup for Chimpy to drop on its head. Nothing against Scotties(and my apologies in advance to any DU Scotty owners-no offense to your pup), but to me they are kinda girlie-men dogs.

WEll, it doesn't---neither does the name from a kiddie book.

Whole damn bunch is only semi-literate eh?

will have something that has some brains....

That's how we feel. :evilgrin:

"... a Scottish terrier puppy that is a relative of the current first dog, Barney."

A chance for doggie incest in the white house.

That segment of the population comprises a part of the bush base! LOL :)

The election is over. They don't need the photo ops anymore.

this cur was picked out and named by Rove, after thorough polls and focus groups.

it's more her speed

Why didn't he name the dog "Blondie" after the dog owned by his Gramp's favourite client?

Save those kind of insults for steroid-pumped Repukes and men so insecure about their own masculinity that they have to put on a show of false machismo. Do you think Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Gen Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan were "girlie men", because they all owned Scotties at one time -- some more than one. Scotties are tough critters in a small package -- don't let the size fool you.

looks like a girlie man. Bet TR, FDR, Eisenhower weren't always carrying around their Scotty.

not a lapdog.

Aren't terriers a bit hyper? Barney probably wants to nip his ankles, piss on his leg or run away. Or perform the ever popular "entangle him in the leash & make him fall over" trick.

Maybe Barney & the new one can double-team the idiot.

... these pics of FDR and Fala make FDR any less "manly"?

Don't anyone try to say she didn't - She did- I saw it.

It was NOT a nudge- it was a kick.

Thanks CNN. I know can I trust you to be all over this story.

these dogs were bred to dig badgers out of their holes!! I wouldn't take on a badger with a shotgun

I have a Scottie and they are their own dogs. They'll take on anything, anywhere, anytime. They can be kinda sweet, but they are not to be toyed with.

I'll plead my bad on saying the dogs are kinda girlie-men - obviously it's the Chimpy owner who deserves the label!

I just prefer the "Big Dogs" myself to the little yippers like Shrub!

The mouth is as large as a german shepard, with short stumpy legs,
but don't mistake that giant head and neck. My scottie has an
alpha male complex with the next door border collie, and when they
tangle the scottie wins. When the collie runs away, the scottie
can't keep up.

Every once in a while, a couple of me scotties get in a scrap and
i don't dare put my hand or foot in to the flashing white teeth and
black fur... no way.

And for the record, i don't think you could distinguish a scottie
bark from a "big dog" bark, It's lower pitch than many large dogs.

Rather than a girlie dog, i find it rather just practical to have
a dog short enough not to get on the kitchen table, as at least part
of the house is not-dogged. :-)

Scottish terrier
n.

A terrier of a breed originating in Scotland, having a heavy-set body, short legs, a long head with small erect ears, and a hard wiry coat. Also called Scotch terrier.


Perhaps you were talking about dachshunds...

dachs·hund Audio pronunciation of "dachshund" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (däkshnt, däksnt, däksnd)
n.

A small dog of a breed developed in Germany for hunting badgers and having a long body, a usually shorthaired brown or black and brown coat, drooping ears, and very short legs.

Let's not go off starting Scottydogsfortruth.

:)

The scottie was called an "aberdeen terrier" bred in the aberdeen
region of the scottish highlands to survive in that climate.

The nose is elongated to breathe frozen air, and the tail raised to
not freeze in the snow. It is too short to be a danger to sheep
(and not get shot by the neighbors), yet well capable to killing a
fox sized opponent if such need arises. In very high winds, the
scottie is a stable mountain dog, able to walk round clifftops and
such. 100+ mph winds are not uncommon on the moorlands of the
north highlands (like pictured in the photo).

The fur coat can grow to inches thick if it is not groomed, that the
dog can live outdoors in the winter if trained to do so.

I posted this photo before, but it is an ideal example of a scottie
with a full coat.

Scotty's for Scottsman

just for a few days. even the headlines make me sick. :(

and tears down the Christmas tree!

: )

Can I take your new pet home to experiment, uh, I mean to play with? The kids will love it!

Another bitch in the White House.

LOL :)

Family Affair



kinda scary

if you're wondering what's the point, well there isn't one here . . .

the show was waaay before the twin's time

Laura is the real Bush dog, following her master a few steps behind. I don't give a rat's ass about their stupid dogs.

and the dog will choose to not dive in and save him.

humanize him or her and gain sympathy.

Obviously the same tactic applies.

What a load of crap.

That makes two for the DU rescue squad. :P

sorry for the pooch, but...:puke:

Now ask me why I would care what Laura gets for her birthday...
