Happy Presidents’ Day!

In honor of today’s federal holiday, we’re taking a look at the many animals graced the halls of the White House over the years. Everybody knows Bo, the Obamas’ cute-as-can-be Portuguese Water Dog, but did you know that hundreds of animals have lived in the White House over the years?

Woodrow Wilson had a pet ram named Old Ike, and Calvin Coolidge was the proud pet parent of Billy, a pygmy hippo. Our birthday boy, George Washington, had a menagerie of Hounds, but his wife Martha kept company with a single parrot.

Check out this photo gallery of presidential pets, and have a happy Presidents’ Day!

I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Fantastic work! <a href="http://www.achtutu.com.pl/zdrowie,i,uroda/home,page,s,232/" title="Kip Sferra">Kip Sferra</a>
