Anyway, today is the birthday of Warren Harding - the 29th President of the US. He only served for two years before he died in office. Reportedly, he wasn't all that popular. BUT - he DID have a dog - and his dog became fairly well-known and well-liked. Laddie Boy was an Airedale terrier. He was supposedly the first White House Dog to receive regular press coverage. Here are some photos of Laddie Boy- check him out:

Of PARTICULAR interest to ME is the birthday cake made from BISCUITS. I want to see if my human can get the recipe - and make it for us. That will happen about the same time that all three of us start to behave...
It looks like Laddie Boy had a house-mate- but unfortauntely, Oh Boy, a bulldog didn't live too long... Oh boy. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I also liked the photo of the statue of Laddie Boy - made out of PENNIES. They no longer mint or use pennies here in Canada - now I know what my human can do with the bag she has left. Make a statue of me. But BEFORE I die - so we can all enjoy it. And likely, one of us would pee on it.
So Happy Birthday to Warren. Even though people didn't care for you - at least you had a cool dog! And at this point I will refrain from any further comments about unpopular Presidents and dogs.....
Have a good one. Peace and paws up!
