George Washington and Sweet Lips

Sweet Lips and One of Our Forefathers
Can we give this forefather a little pat on the back today?

Yes, he was also the father of the American Foxhound and his favorite was Sweet Lips.  I don't know, but I believe besides being his aide and warrant officer of the USA, Mr. Billy Lee also helped hWashington with this task.  A Dalmatian, Madame Moose, was with Commander Washington and Mr. Lee during 8 years of the Revolution to protect their horses.  Sweet Lips stayed at Mount Vernon, pet and hunter.

Washington was a dog lover and was also noted for the names he gave his pets. Throughout his life he had more than 30 dogs.
