In keeping with our family tradition, we have named her after a U.S. president. Our first dog, who died last July, was called Gipper to honor Ronald Reagan. Teddy (Roosevelt) came next. We've named the pup Cali (my husband's idea), for Calvin Coolidge.

No pictures of puppy.
My Jack Russell Terrier #1 is Lincoln. Jack Russell #2 is Polk. Cat is Reagan. Dad’s dog is Truman.
great idea! if i ever buy a jackass i will name it obama
I've been hearing more about Coolidge lately; nice development.
My male pup is Reagan, female pup is Maggie for Margaret Thatcher. A beautiful pair they make!
Naming a pet for Calvin Coolidge is to be commended.
Naming one for Theodore Roosevelt is to be condemned.
