Pet's Names

I am a very active volunteer for the local animal shelter, and I also pet-sit a little on the side. The cat I'm watching now is named Elvis, and it got me to thinking if anyone else out there has an unusual name for their pet.

My own little spoiled obnoxious bundle of fur is named Harrison Rory (he's a 7 month old kitten that "found" me at the shelter). Before him I had 2 female rats, named Tanner and Indy, and I am considering a Siamese fighting fish to be named Suzuki (in honor of the 1st brand of four wheeler I learned how to drive).

I have three cats.

Taylor for Taylor Dayne....cuz Taylor Dayne is just plain HOT

And my newest addition SPED. This one my offend, but its true. My wife is a special ed teacher, and her and her associates call themselves speds...short for special ed. Myself, I use the term loosly for a idiot, and this cat is all itiot!!! Hence Sped.

Our family dog is named Frisker. We named her that because Mom's Dad calls all dogs Frisker, so we thought it would be nice if he were right at least 50% of the time!

Our other dog was named Shadow, but she passed away...

We have a Siamese Fighting Fish named Dr. Seuss. He's blue, and it made me think of that Dr. Seuss book "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" so we named him Dr. Seuss.

I used to have a lizard named Yoshi after the Nintendo character.

If I ever had mice I'd want to name them Pinky and The Brain.

I have a dog named Kirbi.
She was like a vacuum cleaner when we first got her. She ate everything off the floor. We changed the spelling from Kirby to Kirbi because it seemed more fitting for a female.

Kirbi and Conrad can be seen at the link below. Conrad passed away earlier this year
