Synopsis
From the Book jacket: First Dog Millie Bush's memoir is a heartwarming look at one dog's life as Presidential best friend. Told with the characteristic modesty associated with Ms. Millie Bush, Millie's Book chronicles a very popular administration from the dog days of the August 19 8 8 Presidential campaign to the dog's heaven of a Camp David hiatus. For the first time, Millie recounts her occasionally circuitous path to the White House, from her arrival in Washington in 1987, through the sometimes lonely days of the campaign, to her establishment of residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the birth of her six offspring in March 1989 on its second floor. Millie also takes readers through a typically busy day with the President that begins at 6:00 A.M. and includes morning briefings, deliberations in the Oval Office, with occasional short breaks for squirrel hunting. Shunning hounding media attentionshe's a spaniel -Millie also accompanies the First Lady on a tour of the White House from the Rose Garden to the Lincoln Bed room; from the East Room-to the Blue Room. And subtly enlisting her broadening social pedigree, Mille talks about her many friends, who include Gerald Ford, the Jordanian Royal Family, Margaret Thatcher, Clark Clifford, Bjorn Borg, Audrey Hepburn, Sam Donaldson, Billy Graham, and Helen Thomas. Celebrated on the cover of Life, kidded in the pages of Washingtonian magazine, Millie Bush has continued to gain the attention of the nation. Now Millie's Book presents an authorized account not only of the Bushes' White House but also of their home. It was, by the way, helped enormously by the hard work and patience of Barbara Bush. Mildred Kerr Bush lives at the White House, Camp David, and Kennebunkport, Maine.
