His sights set on the Guinness Book of World Records, Barney attempts to be the first dog to move a truck with his nose.

Dose going up.

Please wait to post or repost photos till the all clear.

In keeping with the thread title and topic, please don't post photos of the opposition unless the Bush's or Cheney's are also in the same photo. Thanks!

Thank you.

I was so proud of President Bush yesterday. What a great person. There is a "Pray For President Bush" thread posted everyday. Please check it out if you have time.

LOL Those last two pictures with the captions are priceless. Thank you for the laugh! Wonderful pictures of Bush!

Wow, I am usually here so late! Thanks for the dose, great pics already!

11?

top twenty? Whoooa!

Yeehaw!

Thanks for the "Dose"

This dog cracks me up. Look at those eyebrows!!! What a cute little charachter Barney is.

Thanks for the ping Gretchen! I was in Birmingham on Sunday too, but was never able to go where President Bush was. :( Really sad!

Great pics tonight, thanks for the ping.

Early dose tonight - thanks, Gretchen. (I'd have been here sooner but I was enjoying the numerous CBS threads, not to mention the Fox news reports on that subject)

These are great photos!

Evenin' Gretchen. Good dose you put up again! Wonder what the cameraman was up to when he got this shot?

Thank you, thank you for these great pics, Gretchen. There was mutual love in the pictures of him hugging those ladies and mutual respect shaking the men's hands. Can't imagine that other candidate being so comforting, can we?

I adore those Barney pictures and the captions. Let's make that a regular feature of the Dose.

Over here is the Dose I told you about, Ivan (our English friend, not the hurricane. LOL)

Thought you would enjoy some pictures from President Bush's day.

Hello everybody. Thanks for the pictures, Gretchen.

Psalm 75

¹ We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
        For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

       ²"When I choose the proper time,
        I will judge uprightly.
       ³The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;
        I set up its pillars firmly.Selah

       ⁴"I said to the boastful, "Do not deal boastfully,'
        And to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.
       ⁵Do not lift up your horn on high;
        Do not speak with a stiff neck."'

       ⁶For exaltation comes neither from the east
        Nor from the west nor from the south.
       ⁷But God is the Judge:
        He puts down one,
        And exalts another.
       ⁸For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup,
        And the wine is red;
        It is fully mixed, and He pours it out;
        Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth
        Drain and drink down.

       ⁹But I will declare forever,
        I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

       ¹⁰"All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off,
        But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted."
