"Adam, the Dog"

My only question is why people these days insist upon giving animals human names.

Yeah, we could all follow the lead of Navin Johnson instead.

I named my Black Mouth Cur after Cate Blanchet. My Cate is a sweetheart.

Because they are more dignified. Usually. Meet one of them.

I refuse to name my regal noble German Shepherds “Spot”, “Blackie” or “Tootles”.

Although I also reserve the right to call them by silly made-up “pet” names. ;-D

Because several million dogs named Fido or Spot would get mighty confusing?

97% of my dogs have/had “human” names.

The others had an Irish myth, “Pooka”, one has a Norse god, Odin and the other has a number, Seven.

Most of my snakes have “human” names, too.

What else would I name them after?

States?
Minerals?
Cereals?
