[Knitting A Conundrum]

None of my dogs' names (Velvet, Hunter and Amber) were in the top ten

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I had a cat once named Boots, and one named Whiskers, and one named Baby (lack of inventiveness at that point in life), one named Microdot and one named Heshiba. I liked the name Heshiba best of all, I think. I was thinking of Hepzibah, but that's all I could remember...

A friend of mine had a siamese named Pywacket.

Does anyone have pet insurance? My 10 year old male Basenji, Chammie, was just diagnosed with a spinal cord injury. It's breaking my heart to see this frisky little guy slowing down, years before his time. :O(

[Young Werther]

But there were PUNS!

[Slings and Arrows]

Janey (female Jack Russell Terrorist)

Zia (female tuxedo kitty)

Deimos (male tuxedo kitty)

[Veto!]

Fidel and Charo, LOL!!!

Years ago, I had a lovely little red persian kitten that I named Simba, #10 fave cat name, but mine was Simba-Samba because he danced all over the house. We wrote him a song: "When Simba does the samba on Saturday niiiiiiiiight.."

[Veto!]

You have a Presa? Wow.

My Keeshond is KeeshaSue, and she's the loveliest liveliest darling girl in the world.

[kanawa]

What, no Beavis?

Butthead was wondering about that too....

[RepoGirl]

For cats, we have Rocket J, my orange beauty (see my freep page) and my husband has Mingus and Thelonius.

Our dog is Ursa Maxime, although our 2-yr old daughter just calls her "Bubby!"

Glad to see my new kitties' names (Heather & Sydney) aren't on that list. They came with those names, but I like them so I kept them.

[Welsh Rabbit]

9. Jake

I had a Brittany spaniel named Jake when I was a kid. Great dog, but a lousy hunter (too independent; would just run off and do his own thing).

I know someone who named their dog Rush Limbark.

[Maximus of Texas]

Know what else is funny, T? I've always wanted a dog named Max. I prefer female dogs so the full name would be Maxine. Once we get a fence up around our back acreage, we're going to get some dogs.

My other name I want to use is Mr. Beans. I've suggested that name several times to Tuffy for her horses but she purposely discards it. :(

[tuffydoodle]

I asked Tuffy if he wanted to be called Mr. Beans. I got his response on camera:

[Maceman]

The name Fluffy is still very popular.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Dog - Nonni (A hyperactive springer spaniel/Jack Russell mix)

2 Cats - A Boy Named Missy, and Mr. Truman

My daughter had 3 fish named Moe, Larry, and Curley - all but Larry have perished. we think he had the other two killed.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

My cats: Elvis, Priscilla, Lisa Marie, The Colonel, Bonnie and Clyde.

Yeah, I'm in desperate need of an intervention.

We have an outdoor cat we named Mr. Orange. He's orange like Morris the cat.
