Pet Names

I've had two dogs named Sport. They were very energetic, hyper but happy dogs. Mountain Feists. I didn't have them together, but my first Feist was solid black. Someone had thrown her into a dumpster. The store owner of the store I had been servicing found her and brought her in her store.

She couldn't keep her, so I took her in. I was later given a Sheltie puppy from my parents, because their own Sheltie had just given birth to five puppies. When I brought Christine home and introduced them, Sport immediately wanted to make friends, and so she did. They were inseparable. I had them for a few years until they passed.

I also had a White and Orange Tabby that we took in while buying Fireworks many years back that I named Speedy. I didn't have any real reasons for naming them, I just thought the names were memorable.

My parents named two out of their Shelties at the time Ginger and Cary - after Ginger Rogers and Cary Grant.
 
My three chihuahuas named Pearl, Marley and Brown, only Brown left now but they were known as the Three Amigos, the other two lived until 18 and 19, Brown is 17. They drove away deadly snakes and were great watchdogs.

Almost 20 years ago, I found a tiny kitten wandering across a local park. I looked around to see if I could find Mom or siblings, but found nothing. I picked her up, and she immediately began purring very loudly. I took her home, and Mr. Duke feel in love with her. It was the wife who named her "Purrdy." She lived for fifteen years and never stopped purring.

It is...lol!
Between my wife and I someone is always home with them. It's constant cleaning and filling food and water bowls. It worth it though and we pretty much have it squared away and it's pretty easy.

You win, lol
 
People give their pets names, some unusual or offbeat, for any number of reasons. Some are descriptive, others sentimental, or just silly.

What's the most interesting name you or someone you know has given a pet and why?
I adore all things Spongebob. We got a cat and I named him Gary after Spongebobs pet snail lol
