Just a quick note: I removed "by president" from this article because we don't have equivalent lists by other criteria, and by president is the obvious (IMO) way to order things. The only other ordering that springs to mind is by type. Of course, we could have both orderings on the same page. Martin 00:02, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

We could, I'm not sure whether it's worth while. We could list Presidents by the types of pets they owned too I guess...209.102.126.142 04:10, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)


At the moment "by president" seems to be in chronological order for the first several and then random (?) order after that. So I'll go with chronological (reverse) order, since I suspect that's how most folks think about the U.S. Prez's anyway. Elf | Talk 05:58, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Johnson

"Andrew Johnson - Fed white mice he found in his bedroom" -- is that right? should that be removed 17, Jan 2005

According to Wackiest White House Pets by Gibbs Davis, Scholastic Press, 2004, this is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.177.179.143 (talk) 17:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roosevelt

Also owned a Badger Taxidea named Josiah. The Badger is included in letters of diplomats from Japan and other countries. I would like to add this item.

[edit] Where the horses and donkies pets?

I agree it is a quibble but for the earlier presidents horses and the like were transportaion and work animals not Pets. Royal Gift was evidently used for breeding mules [2].Geo8rge (talk) 15:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This page needs some pretty serious cleanup. I am going to do what I can and then add a tag, I feel that it is not finished. Mynameisnotpj (talk) 11:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I did a major cleanup to the page. There is still a lot that needs to be done, however, so I am going to add a cleanup tag. Mynameisnotpj (talk) 12:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
