White House Pets - GWB Presidential Library and Museum

It was fun to see the involvement of the White House pets...

In the Christmas, 2003 exhibit, it seemed that Barney, the black Scottish Terrier, had been given the responsibility for overseeing the decorations, but had to be constantly reminded to keep on task. (If you want to see the video of his activities, I found it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f_-ct4eJ9s)

There were commemorative statues of other first pets too:
India, the kitty had fallen asleep while reading "If You Take a Mouse to the Movies"
This Wikipedia article says that India, also sometimes called "Willie" was overshadowed by the White House dogs - but of course, kitties would not be stooping to the juvenile attention-getting schemes of dogs!  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_%28cat%29
