Animals of the "Pet" Varierty

Question from Babynames.com: What are your pets names?

Well. Of course, I have my cat Diego, named because we lived near San Diego when we got him and couldn’t decide on a name. We’ve also had Buddy and Toby (cats) as well as fish called Gary (Bartholomew) and George. My neighbors cat used to come in my yard all the time, so I decided to come up with a name to refer to him as: Sir Larry. Turns out, when we moved, our neighbors wanted us to take Sir Larry (real name: Shadow) with us, because their other cat was beating him up. Saddest story ever.

However, I have heard from a lady in my old ward that they have had cats named, and I quote: “Smidgen McSmudge,” “Truffles,” and, best of all, “Shovel-face.”

Wow.

Later in life, with other pets I get, I’d enjoy the names: Boz, Beck, Jack. Then again, I decided that Diego is never going to die and therefore going to be in my life all my years, so who says I need another pet?
