President George W. Bush’s dog Barney has died of lymphoma at the age of 12, the former president said in a statement Friday. “Barney was by my side during our eight years in the White House,” Bush wrote. “He never discussed politics and was always a faithful friend. Laura and I will miss our pal.”

Ditto. After the Clinton years, I was so proud of the Bushes who brought class back into the White House. It was a wonderful 8 years with the beautiful and graceful First Lady Laura Bush representing our country. We were blessed with an honest, patriotic, and hardworking president who was handed the heavy job of protecting the country after 9-11, and he accomplished that task.

Even with the terrorism threat prior to Obama’s ascent, everyday life in America was still normal and there was not a feeling that our constitution and our very culture was being attacked.

Enter Obama, and the liberal agenda is let loose on the country ripping and tearing at traditional and moral values. The left has taken over the media, and they are on a roll. They had their boy elected twice, and they are now beginning to speed up their efforts to further attack and shred the constitution while they can in the next 4 years. It's a race with time for them to get as much accomplished as they can.

It truly feels like the nuts are out of the asylum and they are in control.

Your cats are beautiful and Pansy lived a long life. I’m so sorry your online friend passed. My Pug, Jack, died a year ago at age 17. I miss him every day, but won’t get another.

God bless and keep you and your pet family.

"So sad. I know what it’s like to lose your dog. Dogs give unconditional love. I cried like a baby when I lost my dog. :("

Oh, my yes! I lost my faithful follower (herder)Sheltie George in MN, and sobbed for days. Not a fun time. :o(
