WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush, who sometimes treats his dog Barney like the son he never had, was thrilled about his daughter's engagement because now he will get a son for real, first lady Laura Bush said on Wednesday.

Jenna, one of the president's twin daughters, became engaged last month to longtime suitor Henry Hager, who comes from a prominent Republican family and worked in Bush's re-election campaign.

"You all know that George is thrilled to have a son, finally, because he's been calling Barney the son he never had," the first lady joked to a small group of journalists at the end of an interview on Myanmar.

The engagement has prompted a flurry of speculation about the possibility of a White House wedding. But the bride's mother did not spill the beans.

Let's hope he doesn't drop Henry on the concrete like he did with the current "son he never had"...
