Well, there was the occasional muddy paw prints, the shedding hair, chasing the cat. But when Mr. Lincoln was away from home for extended periods, I was a comfort in stormy weather, barked at strangers, and helped the boys with their chores by licking the dishes clean. What's not to love?

Fido

You forgot to mention all the slimy slobber on the sofa...neverthless I agree this is sure universal truth:

PS: Betty, wasn't that the pony she showed off at Henry Clay's?
