Happy Presidents Day

I've written about presidential pets before and now gathered some stories together for this year's Presidents Day. The full story is in today's Cleveland Plain Dealer. It's mostly about presidents and their dogs.

  9. I couldnt trust a person (not that they have much of mine anyway)that didnt care for animals at all. I didnt know about some of the presidential pets so this was pretty nifty. Sad, not a bunny in the bunch.

  10. So cute! I think the Presidents owning animals kind of humanizes them more (if that makes any sense) and shows that underneath all the politics, they really are just loving (I would hope) pet owners. :)

  12. The presidential pets are often in the news. I couldn't even tell you if our Canadian Prime Minister has a pet.

  13. fun. where would we be without our animals? I remember the Clinton's Socks and Buddy, and the Bush's Barney and Miss Beazley, and I know the Obama's Portuguese water dog but cannot for the life of me think of his name. :(
