Socks the White House cat

God Bless you Socks, you did good! sleep well, dear old thing.

Wonder if Pres. Obama will get another White House cat? not to replace Socks of course but every home needs one and it would be a nice thing to do.

Re: Socks the White House cat


They are getting a puppy for the two little girls. One is allergic, so they're looking for something like a labradoodle, preferably from a shelter (yay!) The First Puppy will undoubtedly make the news, may even be on the BBC ... but I'll post it when it happens!

And they definitely should get a cat too!
