A presidential connection?

So, as you all know, Truman was named after the 33rd president (and a little bit after one of my friend's former students because I think it's just so stinkin' cute!). Well when we got Harry a year later, we decided to continue the tradition of presidential names. William Henry Harrison was the 9th president of the United States and served only 31 days in office...he died of a cold-gone-wrong. Anyhoo, as with all children, you start calling them by nicknames. So Harrison shortly became Harry. Now everyone thinks we named our dogs only after Harry Truman. I guess our next one will have to be named S! ;) Here are our little guys and their executive namesakes.
