This week’s name is:
Liberty
Although I have no opinion one way or another of President Ford as far as this blog is concerned, I did want to share this amuzing story I found about President Ford and his Golden Retriever Liberty.
One night when the regular caretaker for his dog Liberty was unable to be at the White House, President Ford offered to take care of the family pet. He was told that Liberty usually needed to make a late night “business” trip to the South lawn.
As scheduled, Ford and the dog left the White House without telling the secret service. As the duo strolled the grounds the service secured the White House second floor, as is done every night. Ford was unable to use the elevator or return to the private quarters until he alerted guards that he was locked out of the Mansion.
