In trying to find some joy in the frenzy of the election outcome, I am drawn to seemingly trivial things like baking, yoga & meditation, remaining flowers in the garden or of course animals. Things that bring me joy instead of stress.
#SidewalkDog always manages to send me feeds that are a distraction and a joy on their Twitter page. This recent article looked back over a century of pets in the White House while their families served in the Presidency. Not only is it the wonder of the animals, but it also gives a glimpse into the person that makes them just a bit more human as well. Bill Clinton with his adorable chocolate lab Buddy.
A normally stoic Lyndon Johnson howling with his Yuki.
Herbert Hoover with his handsome shepherd King Tut.
And of course the Kennedy clan with an entourage of misfits and mutts at hand. I wonder if Donald Trump has had dogs in his life....? Howard Taft even had a pet cow named Pauline! For a sweet diversion check out the entire link to the library.
