Cool Coolidge Collies-1

Coolidge is normally known as a dour, stodgy type of guy who was no nonsense. Actually, he had a wicked dry sense of humor and loved animals deeply. It is a little known fact that the Coolidge’s had more animals in the White House than anyone!!!  One of the neat things for me is they had white collies…. here are a few more new pictures I found ….

 Coolidge and his wife with Prudence Prim and Rob Roy!

Coolidge with his Collie Rob Roy and another dog named Tiny Tim!

This is Grace Coolidge’s official White House Portrait with Rob Roy!

Hope you enjoyed these White Collies who lived in the White House almost 90 years ago. 🙂
