I have to admit that I don’t really know what one is supposed to do on President’s Day. I think we are supposed to be looking at pictures of presidential dogs, cats and pygmie hippos. So here ya go:

Socks, the Clinton cat

Barney, the Bush dog

Buddy, the Clinton Lab

Millie, the Bush Springer Spaniel

Misty Malarky Ying Yang, the Carter Siamese

Rex, the Reagan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Checkers, the Nixon dog, final resting place

Liberty, the Ford Golden Retriever

Fala, FDR’s Scottish Terrier

A likely descendant of Billy, Coolidge’s Pygmy Hippo

Underwhelmed with the choices for President so far? Vote Dawg. Or Cat. Or Rhino. Everybody’s doing it. Check out this excerpt from an L.A. Unleashed article that mentions some purrty cute ballot alternatives over the years…

Molly the Dog, a Dachshund from Oklahoma, named as a candidate in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election.

Pigasus the Immortal, a boar hog that the Yippies nominated as a candidate in the 1968 U.S. presidential election.

Cacareco, a rhinoceros at the Sao Paulo zoo, was a candidate for the 1958 city council elections with the intention of protesting against political corruption. Electoral officials, of course, did not accept Cacareco’s candidacy, but he eventually won 100,000 votes, more than any other party in that same election (which was also marked by rampant absenteeism). Today, the term “Voto Cacareco” (Cacareco vote) is commonly used to describe protest votes in Brazil.

But the political fun doesn’t stop there. Turns out a few Dogsters and Catsters are in the running as well:

Elvis, aka the Elvinator

Talk about change and hope. Shake paws and come our fighting, kiddos. May the snuzziest furball win.

This is one of those “why can’t we all just get along vids,” just in time for the DNC in Denver. If animals and pets were running for President (not that they’re NOT, hee hee), the race to the White House might look a little more like this, with a lot more licking and slobber involved:

Well, that Schmitty’s at it again! For those of us having a hard time trying to decide which human candidate to bark for in the upcoming election, Schmitty is here to lend a helping paw.

The two big questions the poundits are howling about:

Will Schmitty run? and
Would she accept the nomination to run as Vice President?

This groundbreaking story is cutting-edge news because if elected, Schmitty would not only be the first female in the Roval Roffice, but the first dog as well, something that no other candidate has ever come close to being. (Ed. note: While Richard M. Nixon may have occasionally sounded like a dog, he was, indeed, a human being.)

This repawrter is scratching and digging for the latest bones about Schmitty, and as they come in….

wait a minute…
excuse me a second, folks…

Some breaking news for you! Here’s a clip that’s just coming across the newsdesk! Schmitty apparently is about to hold a press conference. Click below to go to our live coverage:

Special thanks to Ron, one of our repawrters in the field, for sending this our way. When you’ve got breaking news on this or any other snuzzy topic, send it on in!
