WASHINGTON D.C. - Barney, the Scottish terrier who holds the position of first pet in the Bush Administration, announced his resignation Wednesday. He is the tenth Bush Administration cabinet member to resign in the past two weeks, leaving many wondering about the cause of this mass exodus. In his letter of resignation Barney said, "I've tried to do some good things during my time here in Washington, but largely I've been ignored." Speculation about Barney's replacement has already begun with the AP reporting that a feisty miniature schnauzer named Winifred has been asked to fill the position. Other strong possibilities are a Tibetan spaniel named Ripley and a Portuguese water dog who goes by Big Poppa.
