The Guild 7-01-2002 Spotty's White House Tour

The White House ^ | 7-01-2002

[BigWaveBetty]

Hello, I'm Spotty, the President's English
Springer Spaniel. (I'm the spotted dog in the picture with Laura Bush
and my pal, Barney, the Scottish Terrier.)

I love this house and thought you would enjoy a tour…from a dog's point of view. I've heard there are many different names for this house. Some call it the "People's House" while others call it the "White House."

The White House is larger than any dog house I've ever seen, that's for sure. There are six floors, 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, 147 windows, 412 doors, 12 chimneys, 8 staircases, and 3 elevators. As you can see, it's easy to lose your tennis ball in this place. My favorite room is the chief usher's office. I love to sleep on the floor next to his desk.

Vermeil Room

This is the Vermeil Room. I like to call this room the "Fur may" Room, but the correct pronunciation is "vur-may." I heard the curator say that vermeil objects are silver pieces that have been dipped in gold. Wow! Maybe I can get a vermeil dog tag one day. Several portraits of First Ladies hang on the walls in this room.

Library

The White House Library is a great room to do something really exciting…read! The curator told me that the books in this room are all by American authors. Maybe one day I can put my favorite book, Hank the Cowdog, on the shelf in here. First Lady Abigail Fillmore (1850-53) asked Congress to buy books for the White House. The American Booksellers Association began to add to the collection in the 1930s. Today, many of these books are on display in the library. My owner, First Lady Laura Bush, loves books. She was a public school librarian and a teacher, and she still enjoys sharing the joy of reading with children.

Are you stuck inside today with the kids because it's too hot? Raining? Spend a few minutes with the kids and take Spotty's tour of The White House!
It's fun and the kids won't even know they're learning!

The other day I came across an item about Martha having been spotted at some trendy Japanese restaurant in NYC with her daughter, and the observer noted that she didn't come close to cracking a smile the whole time she was there. If I were really upset and felt my world crashing down around me, I think I'd just stay home rather than go out where gossip columnists and paparazzi might be lurking. But that's just me. (The article also said she buys that fancy $80 per pound Japanese beef at least once a week from some exclusive butcher shop in NYC, just in case anyone cared).

Jim, BigWave and I broke the bank this weekend with BE. I will need to put an addition on to my vanity to hold it all.

[lodwick]

Kobi beef? Where they milk feed the calves inside stalls so they don't fall over because no muscles have ever been developed?

Thanks for all the updates, alerts, and information.

Are you on vacation, or what CB?

[lodwick]

Way to go with the BE. I will confess to being SHOCKED at the sticker price when it was discussed last year - if the stuff is this wonderful, then Mrs. lodwick needs to be brushing it on.

I WILL follow up. And thanks for all the glamorizing, accessorizing, and fashionizing thoughts.

Sheesh - sounds like "Grease" bbl

I tried to find Codebreaker and still got the "No current FReeper by that name" message. Does anyone know what codebreaker said on the other thread that got pulled? I can't imagine being permanantly banned for posting nasty pictures of Lil Kim.

[Endeavor]

Honey, in the first place, you wouldn't have been accused of insider trading, much less possibly obstruction of justice. Second, what kind of beef, even Texan, could be worth $80/pound? I mean really, what's up with that???

[lodwick]

Hi rk - did you mean pictures of nasty Lil Kim?

The man was only reporting what is out there. Not making news, just reporting.

Deserved its own thead, and for more than one here (or maybe not) should have been thrown up elsewhere.

I miss codebreaker's posts. He usually brought good things
to us.

[mountaineer]

After some thought, I have decided that if I felt my world were crashing down around me, as may be the case with Martha, I'd just call Tippsy Gore's shrink for reassurance that what I was feeling was normal, then - in an homage to the inestimable Mrs. Tree - I'd pour myself a stiff drink.

[mountaineer]

Wow, telepathic communication with the Prez - good work!

[retrokitten]

...so I just gripped his hand firmly, looked at him squarely and tried to communicate telepathically that the Guild was behind him.

LOL! That is so cool! How exciting!

JL, I miss codebreaker, too. He always found really great gossip.

[daisyscarlett]

Great job....I thought I would never get to the part where you shook his hand, though....LOL...

[daisyscarlett]

Great news that Billy, after three weeks, is finally back with his Mother...

[daisyscarlett]

He sure looks good in this photo....

Labeled by the White House as "The Inner-City Compassion Rally", President Bush promotes his domestic policy programs during a visit to Cleveland, Ohio, Monday, July 1, 2002. Bush plans a series of day-trips this week to renew his "compassionate conservatism" agenda, beginning in Cleveland where the U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld that city's school voucher plan, an education idea championed by the Bush administration.

Nah, nah, nah, donate that money you'd have paid the Tipster's shrink to the Barbara Olson Memorial Scholarship Fund at Yeshiva University, and then call me and I'd give ya a good kick in the seat of the pants for free. You'd be better in no time and would've spent your money in a most productive way.

Oooh, speaking with eyes is a good thing. So much can be conveyed--mirror to the soul and all. Lucky you!

So are his eyes blue or hazel??????
