RIP SOCKS!

Hel of MD 12:56AM February 21, 2009

I am glad to hear Socks is alive and well. My cat Maynard is a Black-and-White American shorthair, also 18½, and also has a touch of hyperthyroidism. I will keep Socks in my thoughts and reflect on the fact that he got along with the White House press corps a lot better than George Bush's dog Barney...

I love Socks. I wish him well. My cat, Sir Uncas Maxwell Clark (aka MAX) died recently at 18 years old. I can appreciate having Socks around for so long..

I'm very glad to find your update on Socks. Especially when all anyone can talk about is all the dogs who have resided in the White House. Long live Socks!
