The President makes good on his campaign promise to put more dogs in the White House. Analysts examining polling data believe that this gave Bush a decisive split among dog owners (83% of canine lovers went for the president, as oppossed to 16% for Kerry).

New Puppy to Prance at White House
Thu Nov 4,11:32 AM ET

WASHINGTON - 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 Oct. 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."

Barney's half brother is Miss Beazley's father, said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

Mrs. Bush turned 58 on Thursday.

The Bushes lost a longtime pet earlier this year. Spot, an English springer spaniel who regularly ambled around the West Wing with Barney, died in February at age 15.

Good for Mr. and Mrs. Bush, since they're not the ones that have to clean up for him.

Should've gotten a German Shepard

Better yet, add some class and get a cat.

Nope, to clean. Although cats are fairly interesting to watch. They do some pretty odd things sometimes.

Cats don't belong in the white house man's best friend does.

Awww. Poor little Tony isn't going to like being replaced.
