Ryan Newman "There is always enough love in our house for a dog"
Dale Jarrett & Zoe "You can't get a friend more loyal than your dog"
Tony Stewart & Kayle
"It doesn't matter what kind of day I've had on the racetrack or at home," "Kayle helps change my mood in a hurry."
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. & Killer
"Our personalities are really the same: We're real laid-back. We like to sleep and lay around," "If you've had a bad day or if you get kind of selfish and start feeling like, 'I didn't get what I wanted out of the day.' It's just like how your friends can cheer you up; your dog can, too. It's a good reality-check that there are more important things going on in the world than what you are trying to achieve that day, that moment."
Elliott Sadler & Chelsea
"How can you look at a dog or a cat or an animal and not love them"

Funny Quote....
I gave my cat a bath the other day ... they love it. He sat there, he enjoyed it, it was fun for me. The fur would stick to my tongue, but other than that . . .

OUR U.S.A PRESIDENTS & THEIR CRITTERS
Check out some of the Critters that called the White House their home and our Presidents their dads.....
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
Franklin Delano Roosevelt & Fala He and his family had many pets. Roosevelt's favorite was his Scottish terrier, named Fala (after Murray of Murray Hill, a famous Roosevelt ancester). Fala was given to the President by his cousin, Margaret Suckley. Fala was almost always with Roosevelt. In fact, in 1941 when the President met Winston Churchill in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean aboard the USS Augusta to sign the Atlantic Charter, Fala was with the two world leaders. At the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, D.C., a statue of Fala sits next to that of her beloved master.
Lyndon B. Johnson & Yuki The President Johnson's beloved Yuki was a mongrel dog found at a Texas gas station by first daughter Luci Johnson. Many photographs capture the image of Johnson howling, Yuki perched on his lap, joining in.
Gerald Ford & Liberty
President Ford's golden retriever named Liberty was given to him by his daughter, Susan. Liberty gave birth to a litter of puppies at the White House in 1975. They kept one of the puppies, which they named Misty. Photos of Liberty were autographed with a rubber stamp of her paw print. White House legend has it that Ford used Liberty at meetings in the Oval Office. When he wanted the meeting to end, he would signal Liberty, who would approach the guest with her tail wagging. This would interrupt the conversation and allow Ford to wrap up the meeting.
