Dogs Are Coming Back to the White House!!

It’s party time and I’m dressed for your Inauguration!

Woo Hoo Major and Champ! It’s party time and I’m dressed for your Inauguration!

What a relief to know dogs will be back in the White House. There weren’t any of us to supervise during the last four years and look what happened!

First Dogs from the recent past reached out to offer words of advice as you pack up and move into The People’s House:

Bo Obama, Portuguese Water Dog and most recent canine to set up housekeeping in the White House with Barack and Michelle Obama, has this to say:

• Don’t sweat it. First Dog is a pretty cushy gig.
• You have your own chef, so ask for what you want. I say, steak at every meal!
• When you’re in the Situation Room, keep barking to a minimum.
• Don’t poop on the rug in the Oval Office…at least not for the first two years.

Miss Beazley and Barney Bush, the Scottish Terriers brought to the White House by George W. and Laura Bush, want you to:

• Be sure to direct your own Holiday Extravaganza. Oh, and insist you choose your own decorations and photographer!
• Play hide and seek with the Secret Service. They love it!
• Look really, really cute and you will get away with anything and everything! We tried and it really works!

Buddy Clinton, Labrador Retriever, brought to the White House by Bill and Hillary Clinton, would advise:

• Pay attention in meetings, so you can give the Prez valuable, classified advice when all his advisors have gone home.
• What’s said in the Oval Office stays in the Oval Office. Mum’s the word!
• Groom yourself carefully so you always look handsome as you cross the South Lawn. You never know where the photographers are.

Millie Bush, Springer Spaniel, brought to the White House by George H.W. and Barbara Bush, suggests:

• Accept that a book will inevitably be written about you. Proofread it yourself so they get it right. Kids all over will want to see you (and they always drop food!)
• Have puppies in the White House. Everyone loves puppies!
• Let your puppies loose in the White House. Nothing like a puppy scavenger hunt to make the Secretary of Defense smile!

We wish you a glorious stay! Remember, we’ve all been there. If you’re ever in a jam, give a call.

Cheers!
