Pet names
 
What are your pets names? I have a Bulldog named Chops.

Our cat's name is Jacky. My sister named it and I have no idea why that name came to her.
I did have a Siamese Fighting Fish named Bruce Lee but he died a few months ago. RIP
Our birds names are GB and OC. GB stands for gray bird and OC stands for orange cheeks. We get real creative in my family.
My roomie's dog's name is Boo. That's because she's scared of everything.
If my boyfriend and I get married, we are getting a Boxer. His childhood dog was a Boxer and his name was Rex. He died about a year ago and in Rex's honor we have decided to get a girl Boxer and name her Roxy. (get it? Rex...Roxy...cute huh?) :D

My Brittany's name is Fester - don't ask, I was 15 when I named him. Aliases: Festus, Chester, Hey You, Dummy, Donkey.

My sister's cocker is named Snippit - he likes to bite. Aliases: Herbert, Herberto, Sherman, Sherman Tank, Hair Bear.

My mom's two cats are named Moo and Boo. Moo has black and white colorings like a dairy cow. Boo is all-black, just like a Halloween cat.

We (well, my roommate) have two cats, a black one named Simone who is just a SWEETIE, and then we have the baby, who is aptly named Princess because she really is a princess. Actually, most of the time we just call her sh*thead. She hasn't quite learned that beds are made for sleeping, not peeing in...

Our son was heavy into "The Bard" when he named our two twin brother tiger cats (littermates) Benvolio (Benny) and Mercutio (Merc).

I named my mutt (who's half rottweiler) Astro, like from the Jetsons. But I get into trouble sometimes when I walk him around the neighborhood and call his name, b/c it sounds like "Castro." I live in Miami.

I have a dog named Solomon back home. He think he got the name from "king solomon. His previous owners were religous so this is why I assume this. I hope to cat some time in the next few months but not sure if it will work out.

Dogs
 
Back home, we have three dogs.
(Not too original) a dalmatian named SPOTTY
Two weiner dogs, COCA and COLA

My next dog's name will be ROVER, because I like the name. I image it would be a golden retriver. :)

Hootie, that's funny.. I have a dog named Fozzy also... didn't think it'd be that common a name for a dog. It's some kind of poodle terrier mix.

Have a beagle-bird dog mix named Jack

A cat named Humphrey (got the name because our previous cat's name was Bogart)

SATX*APhi 05-21-2002 01:13 AM

My Springer Spaniel's name is Sugar.

I also have a yellow canary named Sunny.

my new kitty who looks like he is wearing a grey tuxedo

is named Azrael after the cat from the smurfs

SigkapAlumWSU 05-21-2002 03:31 AM

I have a grey tortiseshell cat named Sushi and a Heinz-57 mix dog named Charlie, and a Beta called "oh, he's still alive?" but I call him "hey fishy" for short.

RubberSoul 05-21-2002 08:12 AM

We have a hyperactive mutt named Ajax......she has many aliases but I cannot put them in print. Actually she is a great dog, we love her, but she is a pain. My next dog is one of 2 things; either (the frontrunner) a tiny yorkie named Natasha or a yet-to-be-named golden retriever. I have been into goldens my whole life and I still adore them, I think they are bar none the prettiest, sweetest, best breed out there, but I really want something tiny next time. I figure less dog=less hair, less mess, etc.

SigmaChiCard 05-21-2002 08:39 AM

I've been around a lot of rottweilers lately and I was surprised at how good natured they are, and I've decided that the type of dog I next intend to get. I love big dogs though....

KarenC725 05-21-2002 10:55 AM

My dog is named Morgan (actually Captain Morgan)

The cat was Queenie (got her when I was 5)

archangel12 05-21-2002 12:14 PM

I have a black cat named Rhett here at my apartment and 2 persian cats a home one named Miss Scarlett and the other's name is Melanie. I was in a Gone with the Wind phase.

Also have a bassett hound named Casey. The stupid beagles name is Rebel, but we all call him Houdini because he constanly escapes.

I have a wired hair fox terrier named bailey.
when i move, i eventually want a great dane, a pittbull(i absolutely love pittbull puppies) and a weiner dog :)

I went through 2 beta fish within a year and then gave up on them because they die too easily. Their names were Yoshi and Kurasawa.
I now have two miniature dachsunds named Rocky and Sophie (usually called Princess Sophie because she always has to have her way), a box turtle named Max who hibernates from early September until late May, and several fish of different breeds. Most of the fish don't have names because they die everytime I name them. I had a trio of goldfish named Prospero, Ariel, and Caliban (I was reading The Tempest at the time), but the only one left is Ariel.

My Pets
 
I have had a dog since in was in fourth grade (1991) and he is a poodle/terrier mix named Alexander Michael (we call him Alex)

For my 21st birthday, my lil sis bought me a red-eared slider turtle that I named Zeus, I'm going to buy him a friend and name her Pandora.

I used to have a collie named Beau Reguard of the Meadows, but my father had him put to sleep.

I had several cats, but they always ran away - guess that's why I don't like cats anymore.

I usually have fish, but since I got Zeus, I don't really want another tank in the house.

LOL! That sounds like such a dachshund thing! I had two of them, and if it's possible for dogs to have a diva complex, they've got it!

Our Fozzy Bear is a mutt ~ combo of pekanise and poodle ;) Poor thing has the worst smelling breath ever now that he's gotten older!

I had a springer spaniel mix dog named Savannah (the southern belle)...alas she died 2 weeks before my wedding of lymphoma. (I guess she didn't want to get married!)

My sister has a Yellow Persian kitty named Tobasco
I used to have 2 cockatiels named Tweety and Chipper Jones (I didn't name them)
I've had NUMEROUS (like 15 or 20) Beta fish in my life, can't remember all the names but "Sigma Beta" was my favorite;)

Currently, we have no pets, but we do have a bird who built a bird nest in the middle of our hanging fern outside( 5 little eggs in the nest!).

AOX81 05-22-2002 04:00 PM

We have a female cat named Joey (named after one of my husband's fraternity brothers that helped save her from an evil raccoon that killed her mom and brother)

We have a female Shih Tzu named Sake (which means rice wine or rice beer in Japanese...my husband is Japanese and thought it was cool)

He wants to get a Chihuahua and name it Jose or Corona.

At home I have a Black Lab named Madison. (I am not sure why they chose this name. My family and I got her when she was 4 months old and the name kind of had to stay because she answered to it.) But she is a princess. My mom and I swear she was a person in her last life becasue she likes to sit on furniture and she craves attention and still acts very much like a puppy! Does anyone else have a lab that acts like a person?

:) :D :cool:
