On the Puppies! thread, not_nadine suggested that folks post what names their pups have had. In the spirit of inclusion, I decided to expand it to include all pets because, some of us have had quite creative names for our other critters! So, let's hear it!
I'll start!
Dogs
Princess - dog my mom had when I was born - small black and white border collie who loved to race around and around the outside perimeter of the house when excited. Named because she was the runt of the litter and mom's cousin named her sister, Queenie.
Radar - golden colored mutt with one blue and one brown eye - named after Walter O'Rielly from M.A.S.H.
Sugar - hound dog puppy that someone abandoned who started life as an itty-bitty thing and then grew to be able to put her paws on my 6'2" tall dad's shoulders. Just 'cause she was so sweet.
Foxy - a friend's mutt had puppies and invited me to pick one out. She untied my shoelace and stole my heart. She was a foxy lady!
Csonka - my current pup - he's part beagle, part foxhound and part human. Had two very dark lines on his snout as a pup and looked like a football player. Named after Larry Csonka. He's a Dolphin fan and even has Mr. Larry's autograph!
Other pets
Herman the Hamster - world's grouchiest hamster who lived to the ripe old age of six!
D.C. - my mom's cat. Short for D*mn Cat.
Who's next??
