President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara show off First dog Millie's new puppies to White Hou

(29 Mar 1989) First dog Millie's half-dozen puppies went on display for the White House press corps Wednesday as President Bush and his wife Barbara looked on admiringly and chatted with reporters.
The puppies - five females and a male - hovered close to the neatly cropped grass - their eyes closed - as the president and his wife talked of their experience with the litter and the dogs' mother.
The Bushes have decided to give the puppies away to some of their 11 grandchildren - apparently on a first-bid, first-serve basis.
Mrs. Bush said the children claiming the puppies will have the right to name them, and that so far, only one - "Pickles" - has been spoken for.
