Ex-First Dog Barney has died

[T-Rexx]

Ex-First Dog Barney has died. He was 12.

One of the most outstanding intellects of the GWB administration, Barney pursued a canine agenda with humility and grace. He demonstrated by force of example the quiet dignity of a life of eating, sleeping, playing, and riding in a car. Although he never spoke of politics, his influence over his human's administration was palpable. He forged a path in which his human followed, all around the White House lawn. His opposition to vacuum cleaners and cats has had a lasting influence on American policy. His love of toys and children added warmth to a cold world which all too often ignored his wise direction.

We are all diminished by his passing. He will be missed.

Awww, poor old Barney. I'm sure he lived a good life. The loss of a cherished family pet is such a sad time for any family.

RIP---Always felt so sorry for the dog to have to live with that moron.

Poor little Barney! May he rest in peace. He was the best and most intelligent life in the White House from 2001-2008.

He was such a cute dog as well! I am probably going to be bed ridden when my cat or my father's girlfriends dog dies.
