Dear Barney,
I'm a Westie, your counterpart on the whiskey bottle! Not that I
partake, but I didn't noticed any West Highland Terriers writing to
you. What a great life! How do you like flying? Do you ever get sick? Is it
like travelling in the car? I just love riding in the car and barking
at motorcycles, scooters, rollerblades, and anything I don't like the look
or sound of. I guess it's hard to see things like that if you're high
up, heh?
Black's probably a good color too, doesn't show on your humans' coats.
And you seem to have them well trained too. That's what I like to see
for a dog.
Did you manage to get any chocolate over Easter? I managed to steal
some, myself but I hadn't quite got the knack of pealing off the foil.
It was great even with the wrapping still on.
Lick ya later!
Harri [short for Harriett]
Hello Harri!
You're a beautiful lass. Thanks for visting Bushy
Barney and writing such a nice note from England. It's
nice to hear from non-Scotties as most of the mail to
BB is from Scottish terriers. Westies are great, too,
though they often get mistaken for being one of
Barney's kind. Because he's flown around the country
since he was a wee pup, Barney's gotten pretty used to
being up in the air. But air sickness bags (with White
House logos) are available for quick use should the
need arise! The bad news at the White Hosue was that
the Easter egg roll was canceled because of rain this
year. The good news: there was lots of chocolate left
over--but we all know how bad it is for doggies.

P.S. Thanks for the wonderful picture.

Dear Barney,
Greetings from Staten Island, NY. My name is William Giles
MacGregor,and I'm going to be 2 years old on June 29th. I am very
happy that you are living in the White House with your parents
President and Mrs. Bush! It must be neat to have so many rooms
to explore and so many people to fuss over you.
I know that you are from New Jersey and so am I. My mommies got
me from the Motherwell Scottish Terriers, in fact, my real name is
Motherwell Down the Shore. I think that your dad is my uncle! I'm
not sure, but I am investigating that now. I think we may be
cousins!
Keep up the good work in Washington, we are all thrilled to have
the President and First Family owned by one of us! Let's keep
in touch.
Licks and Wags,
William
Arrroooo000000 William,
Thanks for visiting Bushy Barney and writing. It's
always nice to hear from relatives. So, you're from
Jersey. That brings to mind the immortal words of
Saturday Night Live's Joe Piscopo: "I'm from Jersey.
Are you from Jersey?!" The White House is nice, but
it's tough being a puppy and not getting in trouble
for messing up very important stuff there.
L&W to you too,

Hi Barney!! Bonnie Joy Of Scotland here! That's my full name, but mom
and dad call me Bonnie. I am twenty months old and all black. I am still
growing and only weigh 15 pounds. I live in Landisville, Pa., with my
mom and dad and my sister Kashka. She's a cat, but she's OK. We used to
fight alot, but she's finally getting the picture who is boss around our house.
I love to run and play outside. I have a big job keeping those squirrels
off my dad's yard. I am not afraid to show them "some teeth" if you know
what I mean. Mom and Dad take me for longs walks and sometimes I get real
tired and dad has to carry me home. I sent some pictures of me and my mom so
you could see what I looked like when I was your age. Hope you had a good
haircut! I was there this weekend and they put a bow on my collar and
I don't really like when they do that. It makes my neck scratch. I love
to ride in the car and sit on my dad's lap. I like to see the cows and
other dogs around our neighborhood. Mom makes me sit on her lap, when were
all in the car. She says it's for my own good. I have to go now. I have
to go check on those squirrels again. Be a proud Scottie and say hello to
your dad and mom. My mom and dad send their congratulations to your
mom and dad for defeating that man from Tennessee. Some people just don't
know when to give up. I know that your dad is a good President and your mom
is a great First Lady. Bonnie
Arrrooo000 Bonnie,
What cute photos. Do drivers stop and look both ways?
And thanks for visiting Bushy Barney and writing such
a nice note form Pennsylvania. Do you ever catch those
squirrels--or just watch them run up the tree? About
those longs walks--just be glad you aren't the one who
has to do the carrying:}

Anyway, we just wanted to say ARRROOOOO from here in Oregon and hope

Arroooo to you, Barney the First Dog. Yes, I know all about
your sibling, Spot, but we both know who will be the First Dog.
My name is Maggie and I live with my mom and dad on an island
in south Georgia. It's near Fort Stewart. Your dad was here a
while back. I hope he enjoyed his trip to coastal paradise.
My mom and dad are real softies. They brought me home from
North Carolina eight years ago when I was a wee pup. My mom
is a teacher and my folks own a NASCAR store which I help run.
I greet each and every customer at the door. My job is fun, but
my favorite time of day is when mom comes by and takes me home
for supper(that's what we southern Scotties call dinner). When
its warm, we swim in our pool or go for a ride in the boat and
look for dolphins. My folks are great! They take me everywhere.
Sounds like yours do,too. Last year we went to the Little White
House at Warm Springs. This small Georgia town just loves us
because Fala and President Roosevelt spent so much time there.
You should make a visit with your folks some day. The house is
not nearly as grand as yours, but they sure do make over us
Scotties there. Well, best of luck, little boy. Your dad is a
good leader so I know you will be also.
P.S. I sure am glad your Uncle Jed got that Florida business
straightened our so your folks could get to Washington. I was
beginning to think it would never happen. We Scotties are not
very patient, but we are very persistent.
Congratulations!
Maggie
Arrrroooo y'all, Maggie,
Thanks for visiting Bushy Barney and writing such a
nice note from Georgia. Your parents sound like very
nice people. And Warm Springs would be a very
hospitable place to visit. And about that Florida
mess, Barney doesn't comment about political stuff. He
doesn't care if you're a Democrat or Republican as
long as he gets the proper attention!

Dear Barney,
Just for future reference-Scotties are a bit heavy in the rear.
Because of this, my folks bought me a life jacket for boating and
lounging in the pool. I am fearless, but sometimes a girl gets a
bit winded. They thought it best to be safe. So if you decide to
pretend to be a Labrador, have your folks get you a jacket. It's
the best fun to float around during a volleyball game (with a
soft ball of course) and steal the ball.

Hi Barney,
My name is Max. I'll be 8 years old this summer. I like to ride with
my mom in our 3 wheel bicycle. I eat carrots for my snack. Some of

Sometimes I run beside the bike to work of all the snacks.
I'd like to have you visit me. Max & Max's Mom

Hi Barney,
My name is Shannon. I am a five year old Scottie from Starke Florida.
I am the proud owner of James and Betty Pennington. One of the things
that we love to do is ride our Harley Davidson. They have made me a
special place on the back.
I have a little sister named Emmy. She belongs to Betty's best friend Lou.
Betty trained Emmy as a companion for Lou who has M.S. Sometimes Emmy has
to come stay with us when Lou is in the hospital or if she isn't feeling
well. We have the best time together.
We have a big yard but not as big as yours but it has twenty two pecan
trees in it. Emmy and I love to chase squirrels play ball and eat.
We especially love Frosty Paws it is dog ice cream we buy it at the
local Winn Dixie. I don't know if Washington DC has a Winn Dixie but
have Mrs. Bush check it out.
Looking forward to seeing more pictures of you.
Shannon
Vrrrroooooooooooom Shannon,
Thanks for a wonderful note and great photos: quite a
contrast between the two! Do they reflect your
personalities? It's nice Lou has such a beautiful
companion in Emmy. You'd think the Bushes would know
about Frosty Paws, being long-time dog owners. Glad
you plan to visit Bushy Barney often and watch as he
grows.

Barney,
My parents were so excited to learn the president has a Scottie!
You see, they have had me for the past 11 1/2 years. My name is Ellie.
They love me so much they got another little Scottie a few years ago,
my pal Lucy. We will be on your "tail" to see what you are up to.
I am afraid your mom, Laura, is mistaken about our abililty to get on
the furniture. I am not too graceful anymore because I am old; but
lil' Lucy, who is a puny 15 lbs, can jump up on the couch with no problem.
Have fun and don't disgrace our breed. We love you-
Lucy and Ellie

Arrrooooooo Ellie and Lucy,
Thanks for visiting Bushy Barney and taking the time
to write a nice note. Please calm your parents down.
It's not good for humans to get more excited than
their Scotties:} Word has it that Barney is working up
the courage to take a run at the First Bed. But he
better watch it because the Bushes can be tough on
their animals. Remember a few years back when Millie
was licking...herself at the White House. Then-First
Lady Barbara took care of her with a swift kick!
Take care,

To: bushybarney@yahoo.com
Hi There Barney Bush,
Maggie and Angus McTavish here. We are writing to let you know that
our Mam has adopted a Scottie who was in a puppy mill for the first 6.5
months of his life. He was taken from a broker in Beattie KS. We wish
your Daddy or Mommy Laura would help with all the terrible puppy mills in
our country. Do they realize how much those furkids suffer. To never
touch the grass or smell fresh air. We were lucky when we were born. Our Mam
wanted us and has had us since we took our first breaths of real air. My mom
had to pay $150 to get the poor little boy here from Arkansas. He came
from KS to TN then to Arkansas.
Must have something to do with the "people" in Arkansas - did you say
Bill?
We wanted you to meet our new family member. His name is Burberry -
we call him B-Bear. He was born in August of 2001 (a month before you)
and did not get out of his terrible cage until he was over 6 months
old. He is a real sweetie.
I heard about your problem about going to potty. There is a website
that has real grass with a fire hydrant and all that is moveable. I
will get our hooman Mam to send it to you via e-mail also. Hope you like it
- it is great to use in case of rain - I don't like to get my feet wet - do
you?
Please try and get help for all the other poor fur babes in the
puppy mills. It is a horrendous thing that goes on in our country -
all in the name of the almightily dollar.
We KNOW your Daddy George W will try especially with Laura at his
side.
P.S. Our Mam met your Grand Dad in Memorial Park several years ago
while running in Houston. He was such a nice man - actually made eye
contact and we spoke - our Mam is ever so proud of this event.
Sincerely yours,
Angus 'puppy boy' McTavish
Maggie McTavish
and Burberry ( B-Bear) cause he is so furry - he is scared of lots
of things since being in a crate all his life; but, I know he will become
more adjusted as time goes by.
Hi Maggie and Angus,
Nice to hear from you again. B-Bear sounds very cute.
Glad you could add him to your brood. Couldn't agree
more about the terrible puppy mills. Education's the
key and what better people than the Bushes (who
continue to promote education) to work on this
problem!

April 19, 2001
Dear Barney,
Best wishes from an 11 year old "senior" Scottie! You looked
"maavelous" on Larry King last evening. Owing to my own priorities, I realized
that your First Lady mom could only hold you for just so long. After all,
someone, somewhere in the White House may have wanted to give you table
scraps or a snack.
Me, I live in Manhattan, but, like you, am fortunate to have a vacation
place. Mine is called "Angus's Acre" and is in Westhampton Beach NY.
It's a great escape for me, as it's got a large fenced back yard with
planted woods covering the rear half. I'm able explore and forage to my
heart's content, while making sure that all squirrels evacuate while I'm
in the yard.
Anyway, Barney, all the best for your White House residency, and
beyond.
Your buddy,
Angus McPooch (The Scottish Terrier Mooch)
Hi Angus,
Thanks for stopping by Bushy Barney and writing such a
nice note. That CNN appearance was fun, wasn't it,
especially the part when Mrs. Bush described Barney as
Spot's "baby puppy." Angus's Acre sounds like a
wonderful getaway or just a place to get "lost"
(apologies to Marjorie Flack:).

Hi Barney,
This letter is really for your mam to read, especially
when she gets ready to write "your" book. Many of us
who are owned by Scotties have letters, memo's,
journals, etc., that our Scotties have written over
the years. I think it would be very exciting to have
some of those experiences included in your book! What
do you think?
By the way, I have a little Scottie boy who is 2 years
old that was rescued from a puppymill. His name is
Tavvy and he would love to meet you and play with you.

Scottie" and has been reading your web page to us - showing us all the
great pictures of you. You have an important job and will be a role
model for all the Scottish Terriers of the world. We heard your mom
say that you may be working with her on a book about life in the White

available? (It would be ok if your mom or dad signed the book, too).
Keep up the great work and we really enjoy your web page.

Subject: The Environment
To: bushybarney@yahoo.com
Dear Bushy Barney,
Maybe you can talk to the president about environmental and endangered
species issues. I read in the Miami Herald this morning that Pres. Bush is a
big business supporter at all costs. It says that there are "More toxins in
the water we drink, more crud in the air we breathe, less wilderness for
refuge - and fewer birds and animals to share it with. And, to think, this
is only the beginning." I am curious as to the reasoning behind this. Do
you think that he is behind big business and not for the environment, for the
good of all? Maybe there could be a happy medium. I am happy for you that
you are not an endangered species because your master, apparently, would not
care what happens to you. Tell him that we all need to be concerned about
nature; otherwise, alot of us may not be here. I am looking forward to your
reply Bushy Barney! Hope you had a nice Easter.
Yours,
Marsha Erdmann
Dear Marsha,
Thanks for visiting and taking the time to share your
view. Bushy Barney agrees that the environment should
be protected and will post your important message for

Dear Barney,
Rory here, I am three years old and a black scottie I am loved sooooo
much Mamma finally got me a brother he is a wheaten scottie (almost white) so now
I do not have to be loved every minute. We have a big yard to play in
and we sleep in mamma's & dad's room in our crates. Every night dad gives
us treats before bedtime we always sit up for them.
We used to get Pepperoni but now we get some kind of
healthy dog biscuit, after getting a piece of one dad puts some in a
kong and puts it in our bed so we think going to bed is special. Our
mamma covers us up every night with a light weight bankie then she
kisses our big noses all the way up to the top of our head which gets a
big kiss. She tells us we are the very best boyo's she knows. We hope
you get a baby sister or brother cause it is such fun to play with my
brother.
Hi Barney, Dr.BooBear here. Even though I am six months younger than
Rory I am the alpha which means I eat first and I hog all the bones and
bury them in the garden, this makes my beard dirty but I am a scottie
after all. Mamma says that I am a couch potato, but I look out the
window and bark at the other dogs that walk by. I have a girlfriend in
Las Vegas her name is Vegas Maggie she really loves me.
Also up the block a new scottie moved in Cassie she loves me too and
will not leave me alone she has lots of pep. We have a kitty Millennia
who goes on walks with us and plays with us she curls her tail around
my nose. Remind your mamma that we Scots have minds of our own and
we come when we want to. Mam and Dad never hit us or are cross with
us so we give them lots of scottie kisses.
All for now.

finishing being housebroken myself,mom is glad about that and so is dad. So
do you think someday you'll trick your folks into letting you sleep on the

it's the other way around. I hope you are treating your folks (the President and
the First Lady) well,and you are getting use to your new surroundings. Looking at
your photos on the webpage made me think I was looking in the mirror,and I too
have a white crest on my chest; it makes me look so regal! I hope that maybe

OK, but Barney was anxious to get out from under those
hot lights.

Arrrroooooo Jack,
Thanks for visiting Bushy Barney and writing such a
nice note all the way from Melbourne. Wow, you have
quite a variety of pets! Barney has a sister named
Spot--she's a Springer Spaniel. Barney is having a
good time living at the White House and flying on the
president's helicopter and airplane. He's trying to
stay out of trouble, but you know how Scottie puppies
are... Hope you come back to the Web site from time to
time to watch Barney grow.
Happy Easter to you too,
BB
P.S. Can't wait to see Barney chase those eggs at the
Easter Egg Roll:}

Hi Barney,
When will we get to see some new pictures of you?
We hope that your parents will get you an Action Ball. They are so
much fun. You and Spot can pull each other back and forth and all
around with the rope handles. Our Mom got us one and we love it.
Duffy doesn't exactly understand it all, and he chews on the straps
sometimes, but then he's still pretty little too, well, he's almost
one and a half, but he doesn't act like it.
Please tell us more about yourself, what you're doing and everything.
Your Friends,
Carrie, Duffy and Toto
Hi Carrie, Duffy and Toto,
Thanks for stopping by Bushy Barney. You're a curious
bunch, aren't you! Some new pictures went up just the
other day (see top of BB home page). Thanks for the
tip on the Action Ball. Barney and Spot are sure to
want one. Now that it's spring time and the flowers
are in bloom, Barney's sure to be bounding around the
rose garden and giving the White House security folks
a run for their money. Barney can't wait for the
Easter Egg Roll to have some real fun!
Hope you stop by for another visit real soon.
