My pet's names seem to evolve from a reasonable start into my own ridiculous baby talk.Back in the 80s I was doing cat rescue and I got a feral, but she was sweet. Older and had several litters. I had her spayed and named her Bootsie Rootsie Tootsie. She stayed with me till she passed.
we do that with our dogs too.... we even do it with the children.My pet's names seem to evolve from a reasonable start into my own ridiculous baby talk.
I had a mini-dachshund named Ashley who ended up being called Atchey-patchy and quite often called sweetheart which became sweety, then see-see then, somehow, Mobuto Sese Seko.
I hope the neighbors didn't hear me call her.
Of course, if one wants to be hoidy-toidy, the name could be Phydeaux.The name "Fido" comes from the Latin word fidelity .... It was a popular name for male dogs ... --AI
Brilliant!Of course, if one wants to be hoidy-toidy, the name could be Phydeaux.
Pork chop is cute!Years ago at my former residence, a neighbor had a Manx cat named Porkchop.
Why?I named one of our cats football.
I had a couple of Rots that were rescued. Sweetest dogs ever!SO called me to please pick him up at work and told me that we have a new room mate by the name of Fluffy, a sweet dog. So I get a dog treat and went to pick them up. There comes something flying towards me. I drop the treat. It is gone. Fluffy was a papered Rottweiler by the name of Dargon ..... ; a mile long and it stated with Devil. He loved me! His humans did find a rental and insurance so he went back home. Fluffy!
Faust = fistWe had a German Shepherd who came to us about a year old... and he'd been given the name Faust of Ben Rhee ...we learned Faust in german means Lucky but the Ben Rhee I have no idea.....we renamed him King...
One of my daughters' dogs, a miniature Labradoodle... was called Sir Banlington...![]()
My Dad did the exact same thing.A friend had a dog named Dog. Pronounced Dee-o-gee.
We named our last cat Mickey Mouse and I have no idea why. Maybe it's something they request through that special cat telepathy."Steamer Mouse". I have no idea or why this name got branded to this cat, but it did. And it fit perfectly for this cats personality. It would run around hiding under different things, totally against being held. It was a "Steamer Mouse"!

Sweetest dogs ever!
