Love it!
I think the proper term would be “speciesist”. :)
Sure, but the only acceptable name for a pet snake is "Target."
Now that’s amazing. And he’s appropriately named, most certainly (c;
My absolute favorite official AKC name of all time: Lemmie Kisya (a Malemute).
The worst name? Dumb Butt (Chihuahua).
Sounds like truth in advertising.
I had a Yorkie named Heather Quincy MacFeather, a whippet named Merlin Lumpfish Cavanaugh. Right now I have a Bichon named Rocky Joe and a Cairn mix named Bobbi Beezus.
Sadly, "Idaho" is no longer with us. :-(
One of our dogs name is Kitty. When she was a puppy, we also had a litter of kittens. Every time I said “Here kitty, kitty”, she would show up, so the name stuck.
Our vets chuckles at her name every time he sees her.
At one time we had three snakes.
The albino corn snake (our first) was named Lefty; the western hog nose was named Pancho; the gray rat snake was called That Damn Gray Snake (he was mean).
LOL! My little Kitty was such a funny dog!If she wanted something, she would squint her eyes and give me the ol’ “Resist me if you can!” I still miss her.
