New Presidential Dog Name = Buddy!

Thank you for visiting my web sight. All the folks below made their suggestion for the name of the new presidential dog ! The winner is TONY CANNISTRACI of TIBURON, CA who will win a prize donated from The Internet Connection of Northampton, Massachusetts!

First Dog Has a Name - Buddy WASHINGTON (Reuters) - It's official -- President Clinton has named his new pet puppy "Buddy" after an uncle from his home state of Arkansas.

Clinton made the decision with his wife Hillary and daughter Chelsea after reviewing literally thousands of suggestions sent in by Americans on what he should name the three-month-old chocolate Labrador retriever that moved into the White House on Sunday.

"I finally decided to name the dog after my beloved uncle ...," Clinton told a news conference. "I'm going to call the dog 'Buddy."'

Henry Oren Grisham, called "Uncle Buddy" by Clinton, died last June in Hope, Ark. He raised and trained dogs for more than 50 years.

Since you are getting this dog for Christmas, I suggest that you name it FRUITCAKE. This would also go along with the theory that the two worst Christmas gifts known to mankind are socks and fruitcake. Not that the pooch is a bad gift, but hey, it would be funny!

DC's Slick Willie. The White House should select a name that would forestall any future Republican attacks on the President and his acquisition of this wonderful dog. By giving the dog the nickname "Slick Willie" that the Republicans tagged the Presi dent with during his first term, they might think twice about making the dog or his acquisition an issue. I have a male Schipperke puppy that I'm planning to name WinJef's Slick Willie. He's going to be a great show dog.
