Screen+shot+2010 06 18+at+10.05.02+PM New photos of Bosley, the Congressman’s ScottieThe Washington Post has a wonderful photo essay and article on “Congressmen and women and their staffs have embraced the practice of bringing their dogs to work, filling offices and halls with wagging tails and clattering paws.”

Bosley the Scottish Terrier and Nigel the Jack Russel make an appearance for the first time in three years. They survived the scandal that surrounded their last appearance on the Scottie News.

Eisenhower’s pets continue to be a natural topic of interest because of his ties to K-State. Milton Eisenhower, Ike’s brother, was president of the university from 1943 to 1950. According to Elmore, Ike visited Manhattan Jan. 8, 1944, bringing a gift of a puppy to his niece and Milton Eisenhower’s daughter, Ruthie. The puppy was the offspring of Ike’s Scottish terrier Telek, who also may have belonged to Kay Summersby, Ike’s wartime chauffeur.

Does this mean Ike and Kay shared a puppy as opposed to a love child?

Scottie+Dog+Show Scottie comes second in Bad Vlad’s hometown
Bravo to Arabella’s Scottish Terrier for the second place finish at last weekend’s Eurasia dog show in Moscow.

Any of you Kremlin watchers have the inside story?
