And she’s a pocket pit.

Whatthehellareyoudoingnow, Dontpukeontherug, and Idontwanttolookatyourbutthole.

Especially the last one. I love cats, but why oh why do they insist on sticking their butthole in human faces?

He showed up here two years ago and stayed. I named him Rudolph because he had a pink nose.

Dutch Shepherd - Rocky
Belgian Malinois - Lana

2 gentle lapdogs.

Tiger is the tabby feral who lives on my porch.
I have been reviving cat names from my childhood.

Lady Blue female cat double meaning name. She’s a Russian blue and Leon Russel’s song Lady Blue.

Greyson male cat. It was his name before I adopted him.

Willow female dog named because of Great Dane’s spindly legs when young.

Scout - dog. 🐕 I named her after Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird.

Alexander - dog 🐕 I named him after Alexander The Great.

Millie - cat 🐈‍⬛ she is named after Julie Andrew’s character in the movie, Throughly Modern Millie.

Sorry to be the bearer of cyber warnings - this is not posted to offend, but to enlighten.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) said 15% of the population used pets' names, 14% use a family member's name, and 13% pick a notable date.
And 6% of people are still using "password" as all - or a part - of their password.
The NCSC urged people to choose random words that cannot be guessed instead.
Other problematic passwords included a sports team the user supported (6%), a string of numbers such as "123456" (6%), or a favourite TV show (5%).

And I'm not about to use "idontwanttolookatyourbutthole" as a password, especially since they usually want numbers and characters and uppercase letters as well. So it would have to be something like "IdontWanttolookatyourButthole@834" which would be tough to guess but kind of a PITA to work with.

Had a posting by our security folks. It was a cartoon of someone complaining that their password had been compromised, so now they would have to rename their pet.

I doubt anybody is sifting DU for passwords, and they aren't identified by real name anyhow. I was joking about how I don't use my cat's name as a password, not about posting it here. It's a good reminder not to use a pet name, a child's name or a birthday as a password, though.

Brothers. Andy is a tuxedo and Charlie is solid gray.

But I call him "Boo-Boo," and my husband just calls him "Doggie."

They're shelter cats, and came pre-named. Houdini is a real rascal, and gets into everything. S'mores is more refined, and a bit aloof.
But, they love to run around and rough house with each other. I guess months of cage living gave them a strong appreciation of being free to roam all around our 2-story house.
I hope our plants survive.

My dog is Rigby

My cat is Mr. Ringo Binx but we usually call him Mr. Binx

Do you detect the theme here?

My dog's name is Martha. I use the same theme.

So glad to see someone else with the same theme.

Her name is Ivy Rose.

He was a ghost corm snake, so Casper the Friendly Ghost Corn Snake. My other snake was Sheikh Yerbouti, or Sheikh the Snake.

Scotch was found a couple years ago at an intersection in Youngstown after the smoke cleared from a shooting. My buddy who works at ODOT was sweeping up there when a cop told him this orange kitten was sitting there in the street. He took him home and made me adopt him.

He still has a habit of biting and scratching me and he avoids human contact, but I love him. At first I named him Sparky, but he quit chewing on electrical cords. Now he's named Scotch because of his color and that sometimes he drives me to drink.

Here he is in the OSP car shortly before release following questioning. He didn't see nothin'.

Don't get bitten.

Because :

A) As a kitten his coat color reminded me of desert tones (not so much now).
B) Tucson and environs is one of my favorite places in the world.

China Blue - dog

She adopted you the same time our Costa Rican street rescue adopted us.
Mailo (Mylo in English) speaks no English and in 5 -+ years has no English vocabulary. Like: Get the toy, you want some chow?, Where’s your dad. Nada.

Give him an extra belly scritch for me!

And we're currently working on catching a feral kitten that we will keep.

We spend a lot of money on vet bills and pet supplies, and we do so gladly.

1/2 Bengal, former feral, kitty. She sleeps (sometimes! heh) at the foot of my bed while I'm asleep....😻

Give Watson a belly rub for me.

Nicolai and Andre' are the shelties, Purrsy and Boo are the kitties

A hat tip to Robert Parker's German Shorthaired Pointer, and a character in all his Spenser novels. Pearl was actually my Grandmother's name.

Pearl is a runt rescue Border collie/Blue heeler mix (we suspect a little rat terrier, too).


Here's Robert's Pearl, the Wonder Dog - My Pearl desires privacy

He was born in May 2012. I named him Fred for no particular reason; he just looks like a Fred to me.

His mom was Rose. I named her that because she was really pretty, but she had thorns. Rose got sick and I had to have her put down about three and a half years ago.

Before Rose and Fred was Riley. I named him that because of one day when I walked by where he was snoozing on the corner of a desk and I suddenly had the thought, Hey, this guy has people feeding him, opening doors for him, giving him affection, he's got a free meal ticket for life, he's living the life of Riley, so he must be ... Riley! (I used to watch that old TV show when I was a kid in the late 1950s.)

Fred, Rose and Riley were the perfect names for those three cats. Those names just fit them all to a T.

As different as day and night.

Kitties named Carmen & Margo.
Here they are in the kitchen while I was cooking.

He was wagging it at the end & Margo was playing with his tail.
Carmen, who's mostly behind the fridge, just after I took the picture, jumped over Margo & landed on Vincent's butt.
Vincent, turned his head to see who it was and nothing else. He didn't even move enough for her to fall off! He's a very good big brother.

He gets to run around with other dogs at the dog park.
The one near our house is nearly 5 acres of fenced in fun! Actually, 2 five acres areas, and a 3 acres plot for digs 35# & under.
It's in a huge forest preserve, and it's only 5 or so minutes from the house. So, he gets out there twice most days.
He's a lucky puppy, in that he came into the home well after I retired, so I've got lots of free time.

My husband's nickname for her is Willie. I didn't much like it at first, but it's grown on me.

We rescued him, but he’s only five months old. Our five-year-old bichon took about three days to warm up to him. Now, they’re best friends! We love ‘em!

Because we feel lucky to have her.

Blondie and Slats. You have a kind heart.

We used to have two of the greatest dogs ever born. (Okay I am biased.)

Maura and Leonardo (Leo). Maura was a lab mix and was completely black. Thence the name, which is Gaelic for the name 'Mary', but also can mean 'black' or 'dark'. Leo was a husky mix.

Doggo is Halo and kitteh is Zooey.

Snowshoe sisters - a rare breed from the 1960’s in Philadelphia. Both girls, aka Katie and Gracie, have vivid blue eyes so I named them for two blue-eyed actresses of that era from Philly, Katherine Hepburn and Grace Kelly. Both are rescued kitties.

Pets, we have a few.

Dogs--
Jennifer - Gordon Setter
Sadie - Irish setter
Willow - Gordon Setter doodle
Lola - Poodle
Chance - Poodle and our only male
Luka - Gordon Setter+ random Mexican dog maybe terrier

Cats--
Timothy - whitish with light tan tail
Clara - semi Siamese

Best regards,
Sorghum Crow

Lily is my Pomeranian mix and my cats are Lucy and Oliver.

Is named Mack, like the truck.

As an adult we named our cats after hockey players. Mario & Jocelyn Le Mew (Lemieux) and Luc Rub A Tail (Robitaille). Best cat name I heard was a friend’s Chairman Mao, because when the cat said meow you see tongue.

players. That;s cool

6.5 lb Yorkie.

Sometimes I call Tommie the best baby boy in the whole world when I kiss his head 💙

and Bubba is our dog - he already had that name when we got him - he's a rescue dog...

Pesh used to be Precious and was called Presh for short so it was easy to change his name to Peshwari and call him Pesh for short or Peshie...

Peshie is almost 20 years old...

Edited to add:

Peshie is a half house cat and half mountain wild cat grey and white and striped and speckled and is absolutely beautiful and adorable (mountain wild cats came over here from Scotland in the 1700's or there-abouts) he used to be really big he was over three feet long but he has shrunk in his old age he also has a W on his head for Wisconsin...

Bubba is a half Amstaff (he has a huge chest) and half big baby Black Lab - his ears are not floppy but instead short and pointy (he is very alert) and he's very smart...

Both of them know how to speak English (I taught them how)...

One time Peshie built a house out of a box and he tore out window spaces in it with his claws and also a door and then went in and peeked out at us...

One time Bubba took all his 50 or so rawhide bones out of his basket and lined them all up in a long row an the floor and I'm not sure but maybe he was counting them...

We have big howl and meow fests fairly regularly but we've toned it down a bit over the years thankfully we don't have very many real close neighbors there are a lot of businesses around us...

They tell us how much they love us over and over again every day...

As in d-o-g, but pronounced as Italian.

are named Felix & Oscar. The Odd Couple. They are litter mates and we rescued them at 6 months. They turned 16 last month.
