[Slings and Arrows]

Some people have too much free time.

Molly Mcboozehound

I see that the late Ted Kennedy was consulted.

Our half Chihuaua/half Jack Russell Terrier is named Apollo Kagogi (Kagogi is Hangul (Korean) for dog meat) ______(our last name).

[Slings and Arrows]

*snicker* I regularly threaten to sell my pets to a Korean restaurant when they misbehave.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’d love to hear their replies to your threats...

[TNdandelion]

I had a beagle named: “Little Miss Beagle Bailey” and we also had a boxer named “Buster Douglas.”

[Slings and Arrows]

“Bark Vader?”

[shibumi]

I dated a girl once who had a dog named “Fart.”

[Slings and Arrows]

How’d’ya let a catch like that get away?

[shibumi]

I was thinking of going down to the Humane Society and adopting the furriest dog they had and naming it “Jimmie the Blogger.”

But then it would probably just steal neighbor dog’s food and leave little “poo-poo excerpts” on other people’s lawns.

Many a moistened bint has slithered through these fingers, leaving only a scimitar or two as remembrance.

[skr]

Two names in one of the comments were nicely litereary: Walter Cronkat and Nathaniel Pawthorne.

[Semper Mark]

Many a moistened bint has slithered through these fingers, leaving only a scimitar or two as remembrance.

Yeah, me too... ;^)

[patriot08]

We currently have cats named Katy, Tabby, Tom and Niki
(better known as ‘baby cakes’).
We’re not very creative.

[SamAdams76]

Dogs should have simple two-syllable names that are easy for the dog to recognize. Giving them ridiculously long names makes it not only difficult for the dog to learn but exposes the owner as a self-centered dolt.

One syllable names are too short as the dog could easily confuse its name with other vital commands (i.e. "sit", "down", "out", "walk"). Two syllable names are perfect for a dog, especially when the two syllables are not normally used together in normal conversation (i.e. Rover, Dixie, Pongo) as otherwise the dog could get confused.

Give your dog a simple two-syllable name and you will be rewarded with a lifetime of obedience and respect. (Note: This approach does not work with wives or children.)

Oedipussy and Aristurtle

[Slings and Arrows]

No argument, but a donut gets you a dollar that most of those long names are abbreviated in practice.

[R. Scott]

I’m a believer.
Our dog was named “Boogie”, from the way he walked. He didn’t just walk, he boogied. My cat’s name is “Killer”. Of course, being a cat she doesn’t come when called.

[Ronin]

I threaten my cats with the Chinese restaurant... but they know a bluff when they hear it.

Especially Edgar Allen Pussycat.
