Mr. President.
Thank you.
Hello.
Daddy, hi.
Where are you?
At Camp David?
We just came up.
Yeah, I was here last night with Heath, and then I went back.
Oh, I see.
We didn't spend the night, but I took him back.
He spent the night.
No, he didn't either.
He went back to London today.
No, we took him back last night.
I went back with him.
And then we came up about 2 or 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Did Mommy come with you?
She came up this afternoon, yes.
Daddy, have you seen the deer yet?
The what?
The deer.
Yeah, yeah, we did it, truly, and we all, everybody getting a big kick out of it.
Yeah, but you know he's just like a dog.
Just like a dog, just like a dog.
Is he coming to the room where you were?
No, we saw him outside, and he's going to be in this afternoon.
Of course, Manolo's going to try to get him acquainted with the dog.
Oh, good, and first you bring him inside.
They may have had him in, I have been in the other room, but we saw him outside when he came.
Did you feed him anything?
Yep, they tripped at him some, I think some, I don't know, some nuts or something.
Yeah, that's right.
He eats that.
He eats almost anything.
He likes cookies.
He likes Hershey's oatmeal cookies.
Okay, I'll give him that.
If you want to feed him a cookie, that would be great.
He's not housebroken.
I wouldn't think so, no.
No, but anyway, other than that, he's very nice to have inside.
Okay.
But do you think they can really train King to like him?
Sure, sure, the dogs.
Aren't they about the same size?
Same size, yeah.
They should get on well.
Yeah.
They really do.
Well, anyway, you have a good time, and we'll see you, huh?
Okay.
All right, honey.
We'll see you soon.
Bye, Daddy.
