Miss Beazley, former President George W. Bush’s Scottish Terrier and a favorite White House resident and companion to the late Barney, died Saturday at the age of nine.

Miss Beazley, a peppy dog often photographed bounding across the White House lawn, was born in 2004\. She died of lymphoma.

“This weekend our beloved dog, Miss Beazley, was put to rest after a battle with lymphoma,” President Bush [said on his Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.721746974534364.1073741829.114546728587728&type=1). “She was a source of joy during our time in Washington and in Dallas. She was a close companion to her blood relative, Barney. And even though he received all the attention, Beazley never held a grudge against him. She was a guardian to our cats, Bob and Bernadette, who — like Laura and I — will miss her.”

She was originally a birthday present to First Lady Laura Bush and was a companion to the second White House Scottish Terrier, Barney. Ironically, Beazley’s father was named Clinton. After Bush left the White House in 2009, Beazley [lived out her days](http://www.georgewbushlibrary.smu.edu/The-President-and-Family/The-Bush-Family/Barney-and-Miss-Beazley-Biography.aspx) in Texas with the former president and his wife.
