Trump family breaks with presidential pet tradition
Washington (CNN)  He  campaigned and won vowing to shake up Washington. Now   President Donald Trump  is again breaking with tradition on a more personal matter: keeping a pet at the White House.
The illustrious tradition of keeping pets in the White House dates back to Thomas Jefferson  who kept a mockingbird and a couple of bear cubs during  his  presidency. Throughout the years  presidential pets became celebrities of sorts.
For an image-conscious President   Trump  seems to be in little rush to add a furry friend to the White House brood  making  his  the only first family in modern presidential history without a pet.
 Trump  lived with a poodle  Chappy  with  his  first wife  Ivana  who wrote in her memoir  "Raising  Trump  " that "Donald was not a dog fan."
"When I told  him  I was bringing Chappy with me to New York   he  said  'No ' " she wrote. "'It's me and Chappy or no one!' I insisted  and that was that."
While the Trumps have yet to fill the White House grounds with any pets  Vice President Mike Pence and second lady Karen Pence have a veritable menagerie at the Naval Observatory.
