Miss Beazley, the Scottish Terrier who graced the White House with her presence while her owner, George W. Bush, was president, has died after a battle with lymphoma.
Bush and his wife Laura made the announcement .
"She was a source of joy during our time in Washington and in Dallas. She was a close companion to her blood relative, Barney," the couple said. "And even though he received all the attention, Beazley never held a grudge against him."
As we reported, Barney died in February of 2013.
Miss Beazley, the Bush's continued, "was a guardian to our cats, Bob and Bernadette, who like Laura and I will miss her."

Sympathy to Laura and George, loving companions to the precious Miss Beasley. They must feel terrible.

You can tell the Bush family loved their dogs...unlike the Obamas who use their dog as a prop. When the photo op is over, the dog is handed off to the staff to care for.

And by “staff” you mean chef.

Is this the Scottie that President Bush painted?
To: Fred Nerks
Cute. The cat does not look pleased. I wonder how long it took to get them to sit there?
