We had a canary named Jerome Bettis.

I recall a dog named Tank but only vaguely and did know a pooch named Shiloh but she passed last year.

I hope you get your own dog soon. They are great sources for calming.

I would probably not name my puppy Butkus, but then they would probably not name their humans Sally either.

Real Dogs have Real Names!!
 

Our twins are Ricky and Lucy. Next ones will be Fred and Ethel.

I know a Nick and a Nora rather well but Nick passed recently. Nora seems to be handling it very well. Took care of a Chuck and his mother Heather. These were two Westies. Chuck would get me up at 5:30 AM by pushing his head against my side if I was not up by his regular feeding time. His owner used to be a Lt Commander in the Navy and would get up at 5:30 every morning.

Fergus was another Westie who would come to the dog park and never want to get out of a stone circle around a tree where he would hunt the geckos in the vegetation under the tree. That's all Fergus would do. Get out to pee and poop but that was usually on the way in the beeline he would make to the stone circle.

Came across a Pepper tonight and was looking for some Salt. I have met other dogs named Pepper and do remember a Salt as well in that family.

And a Ralph. And maybe a Kramden.


Beau loves a pooch named Charlie. Another male dog. It is kind of a bromance but is also about dominance.
