Here I should light up, uh, huh huh, I meant lighten up -g- Presidential pooch to join Bushes The White House may not have changed hands in the US election, but it will soon have a new resident. President George W Bush has marked First Lady Laura Bush's 58th birthday on Thursday by giving her a new puppy. The Scottish terrier puppy, named Miss Beazley, was born on 28 October and will arrive at the White House before the Christmas holiday. A White House spokesman said the puppy was named after a dinosaur in a book the President read this year, a popular children's book, The Enormous Egg. On his last birthday (July), Laura gave George a very nice engraved bookmark with the profile of one of the book's other characters (Mr. Bombaboom, the "intelligent talking horse wearing the suede green coat"). When asked by a reporter why the President liked this particular book, the spokesman said the President would probably respond by saying it's just a "good book". Miss Beazley will be company for the Bush family's dog Barney, another Scottish terrier. Earlier this year, the family mourned the death of Spot, an English springer spaniel who was regularly seen wandering around the West Wing with Barney. The Bush family's other pet is a cat called India, also known as Willie. Story from BBC NEWS: news.bbc.co.uk
