Socks Is On Death's Door!
17-year-old Socks the cat, the former head pussy of the White House, is laid up in bed with cancer and not doing too good. Socks is currently shacked up with Betty Currie, who used to be Bill Clinton's personal secretary, in Maryland. A family friend said Socks' days are numbered. The friend also said that the vet was willing to put Socks on feeding tubes, but the Currie family decided he was too old for that mess.
I actually wrote a letter to Socks when I was in high school. It was a poem. That fucking says a lot about me. Writing poems to cats when I'm in high school! I think I thought he could really read it.
I barely knew Bill Clinton's name, but I knew everything about Socks! And when Buddy came along, I was just as pissed off as Socks was. Replaced by a dog!
Oh, Socks! Smoke up a little cat nip and get comfortable. Soon you'll be making your way to the big White House in the sky where Buddy is patiently waiting to make your afterlife a living hell (in a loving way, of course)!

I also wrote a letter to Socks way back when (3rd grade), and that very summer, he wrote me back with an autographed photo (paw print being his signature). I still have it.

Was it his ACTUAL paw print? Ink probably isn't good for a kitteh. I can just imagine someone using his paw as a rubber stand, and him glaring at the poor bloke disapprovingly.

So MK's letter to Socks was the first and last time he ever actively sought out pussy?

Angel_i,
My nephew was about 4 yrs old when they had to put their Rottie "Jazz" down at 13. One night my sister was tucking him into bed and he asked for another blanket. My sister asked him why he needs another blanket and he said "Cuz when Jazzie climbs into my bed at night it gets cold."

LCT,
My interest is hoping that he chooses a mutt. The breed of dog in the White House increases sales and population of that breed...so...my fingers are crossed for the mutts.

aww, Angel! so sorry for your loss.♥
Most of us sluts have lost a furry friend sometime. It's a terrible thing, they're part of the family.
And it's not about what pet is gonna pee/scratch on the White House furniture. I think it's more about how funny pets are. Dubya had conversations with his dog like my dad discusses politics with Angus, our weenie dog. Whatever pet the Obamas go for, i just hope it has a hella lot of personality!

Hug right back at you, angel-i.
Me and Mr. GIG also have two tortoise shell girl cats.
It was sad seeing them looking around the house for Moochie. Seriously, they've have been searching high and low for him, and I keep telling them "Sorry, girls. He's not coming home."
NOW I sound like a crazy cat lady. Eh....
Mr. GIG is really broken up because Moochie was his first pet.

Holy shit, why is the country beyond obsessed with the Obamas getting a dog? Is it REALLY that big of a deal??"
Because we're superficial people. And it's exciting that this is the first time in some 10 years that we're going to have first kids in the white house!

It was awful putting Moochie to sleep. The house feels so empty without him. A cliche, I know. But it's true.

I still feel the ghost of my doggie brushing past me all the time and I put him down 3 years ago:( I hope you feel better soon. (((hugs)))

I remember Socks. His quiet elegance. Quite a contrast from the aimless anger of Barney the Bush dog.

I have three cats and love them to death, but have been wanting a dog for quite sometime. I don't know if I could deal with it emotionally if Socks dies. I felt we had a special bond.

I think a Golden would be a perfect first dog. They are happy, no matter what, and so friendly. My puppy was crying when my sister came over a couple days ago because he was so happy. It was weird.
Anyway, they should get a goldendoodle, if the kid is allergic.

Ha! That's why. We don't like letting go;p
Putting my dog down was a super bitter sweet experience. I sobbed for weeks - I thought he got a splinter, or mebbe glass in his paw. And I took care of those things and when I went to look it was a cyst. And it just kept getting worse and the only thing the vet could suggest was surgery...and that he likely had cancer. And then another one came...And he couldn't even walk a block. He'd drag me out there to a patch of grass and lie down. Sadness. So much pain. And he was 13 years old - at the tail end of his breed's lifespan.
And we did all his fave things the day I put him down - INCLUDING the vet. He LOVED other animals and he loved it there for that, and cuz he knew whenever he was sick that they would make him better. And he just didn't want me to let them touch his sore paw and they never did.

Poor Socks. First Bill kicks him to the curb, now he has cancer. Well, I'm sure the family he's with now are making sure his last days are peaceful. God bless them.

Ricki,
I do not think they CAN get a cat. One of the daughters has bad allergies I read somewhere. They have to get something hypoallergenic.

I think it's a little weird that the presidents are seemingly forced to get pets. Seriously, like Obama is going to know what to do with a dog if he's never had one? I guess it won't matter though because it's not like he's actually going to be the one caring for it.

Billy doesn't even care about Socks. He handed him of to someone else to deal with. Jerk.

I remember writing letters to Millie the dog (George H.W. Bush's dog) and Socks the cat when I was in elementary school.
I'm really interested to know what educational purpose was served by writing a letter to an animal. And I also wonder what you had to do as an intern, to piss off your superiors enough that they would make you responsible for answering Socks' mail.
I remember there used to be greeting cards that featured Socks the Cat. "Happy Birthday from Socks the Cat". How cute! I too am obsessed with the First Pets.
So sad! But 17 is a long life for a cat. My favorite baby is 14, so maybe she'll hang on for a few more years.
if he's in pain, put the puddy tat to rest.
The problem is, a lot of pets won't show that they're in pain, so you can make that decision.

Poor Socks. I loved him when he was in office. I'm more than a little disturbed that the Clintons gave him away afterward. I hope he is not in pain for much longer.
I am sad the Obamas are getting a dog instead of a cat. If it's something lame like a golden retriever, I'm gonna be REALY pissed. (Yes, I care about our nation's First Pets, lol. A LOT.)
Put the cat to sleep. Don't let him suffer.
For some reason the photo of socks reminded me of Toonces.
