White House Gone to the...Dogs, Cats, Ponies, and Cows

Well, one cow.

The Obamas new pet dog, Bo, is one neat looking Portuguese Water Dog that he got as a gift from Senator Kennedy. Hopefully, with a name like water dog, it can swim.

Anyway, the Chicago Tribune internet had photos of other presidential pooches and pets.

Going back to Teddy Roosevelt First Family and pet name:

George W. Bush-- Barney (the biter) and Spot
Clintons-- Buddy and Socks the cat (I see Socks just died)
George H.W. Bush-- Millie (my favorite White House dog)
Reagans- Rex
Carters-- Grits
Fords-- Liberty
Nixons-- King Timahoe, Pasha, Vickie and Checkers while VP
Johnsons-- Blanco and two beagles: Him and Her (ear-pulling)
Kennedys-- Caroline had two ponies: Macaroni and Tex
FDR-- Fala
Hoovers-- King Tut
Coolidges-- Rob Roy
Hardings-- Laddie Boy
