I watched the First Lady's tour of the WH Christmas decorations on C-SPAN Saturday. Toward the end, the fellow who watches Barney for the President and First Lady when they're travelling brought the dog in. He kind of pointed Barney toward the First Lady, but the dog turned and followed the aide. Maybe due to the campaign and the long absences of the President and First Lady, Barney has become more attached to the aide. I wonder if that might have anything to do with them not taking as many photos lately. Give the dog more time with the first family and less with the aide. Just speculation on my part.

I have seen recent ones with GWB and Barney where Barney has been all over him. I would speculate that GWB has more to do with Barney than Laura though it was supposed to be Laura's dog. I get the impression that especially since Spotty died Barney has become GWB's dog. Maybe when the new puppy arrives this will become Laura's.
