You had goldfish named Ike and Mamie, shows you were on the right track early!

Or a really weird kid. I had a dog named Senator Barry Goldwater too. I even wrote the real Goldwater about naming my dog that. LOL. Mom still has the form letter he (his staff) sent back. No mention of the dog. Best beagle you ever saw, a golden yellow color. He loved to go down the slide at the local park. Dad did not believe he did that, so he followed us to the park one day and watched. Dad took him fishing one time. Dad caught this huge bass, but was having trouble reeling it in. Senator jumped in the pond and herded that fish right to Dad. Dad swore it happened. I wasn't there, but Dad had the fish and the dog was soaking wet. :^)

LOL. What did you call the dog for short? Barry?

My uncle had a cat named "Catfish" that use to sit up on the bank and watch you fish. When the cork went under, Catfish went in after the fish. Catfish lived a long life but had to make at least three trips to the vet to get hooks out of her.
