Dear Diary,
I could hardly believe it when Mom said I had
gotten a letter from THE PRESIDENT!! I never expected him to write
me back, let alone invite me and Tony to come to the Whitehouse to meet him and
Mrs. Bush!
Diary, I'm sure President Bush only invited Tony to be nice
and, I know I shouldn't be like this... but, it really made me mad
that Mom made me take him too. After all, I was the one that asked Mom to
write President Bush the letter about my idea for a tacks credit for getting cats
spayed and neutered (which he said he would think about.)
Well, we had a GREAT time and got some super
pictures! Hope you like them.

I was worried the whole time that Tony would do
something awful and embarrass me in front of the President, but he only
embarrassed me bad once. He actually farted right out loud in the
oval office. President Bush just laughed and told Tony he did that too
sometimes. What a guy! Here we are right
after we got there. President Bush told us a story about the dog he had when he
was a little boy. We told him all about the sport of agility and about
Helping Udders. He said he was proud of us for helping other dogs and
that he would like to try agility someday too! |
|
We even got to go
for a ride on Marine One!! I was really excited about that, but felt a
little silly when the Marine saluted me. Tony just lapped it up - he
can be such a jerk sometimes! |

This is a picture
of Tony playing in front of the White House. The Secret Service guys
threw his toy for him while me and President Bush, talked about important
stuff Tony's too dumb to understand. I told the President how much
I admired the Military Working Dogs mom has read to me about and whether
there was any way to get the Army to draft Tony, but he said "probably not." |

Mrs. Bush is a real
nice lady. She told me I could call her Laura when no one was around.
She invited us to spend the weekend with them and we all went to the ranch in
Crawford, Texas. Boy was it hot! This is my favorite
picture from the whole trip!. It's me and the President and Laura
riding around the ranch in the pick-up checking out the horses and cows. |
 |
While we were at
the ranch, I asked Laura if she thought the President was serious when
he said he would like to learn agility and she said "I'm sure he was!"
So I called some of my agility friends in Texas and that's what we did!
Yep, what a guy! I'll never forget my
trip to Washington. |
