I once had the privilege of living next door to Lulu the Bassett Hound. Bassetts are all characters, just a lot of dog crammed into a smallish body. But you have not lived until you’ve seen one at full gallop heading at you.

Just when you think the world sucks…

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Firefighters responding to a fire call rescued two puppies from a smoke-filled home.

When they arrived at the home just before 9:30 Tuesday morning, firefighters found smoke throughout the house and a fire inside the laundry room.

They spotted the puppies during their initial search of the home and treated them with oxygen. The puppies were then turned over to their owners.

No people were injured in the fire, which is still under investigation.

The only Bush I ever liked has left the building

Barney has gone:

Laura and I are sad to announce that our Scottish Terrier, Barney, has passed away. The little fellow had been suffering from lymphoma and after twelve and a half years of life, his body could not fight off the illness.
Barney and I enjoyed the outdoors. He loved to accompany me when I fished for bass at the ranch. He was a fierce armadillo hunter. At Camp David, his favorite activity was chasing golf balls on the chipping green.

Barney guarded the South Lawn entrance of the White House as if he were a Secret Service agent. He wandered the halls of the West Wing looking for treats from his many friends. He starred in Barney Cam and gave the American people Christmas tours of the White House. Barney greeted Queens, Heads of State, and Prime Ministers. He was always polite and never jumped in their laps.

Barney was by my side during our eight years in the White House. He never discussed politics and was always a faithful friend. Laura and I will miss our pal.

My condolences to the Bush family.
