What did you name your pets and why?

[Walkerman]

 Bubba, Gump and Jenny.   Kinda obvious.     Zoe came to us with her name.

I suppose your horse is Lt. Dan....

No...   That would be ME of course.

My breeder gives her litters theme names. For example, my five year old German Shorthaired Pointer was named Dasher as he was born on Christmas Day. So, my husband Googled famous people born on Christmas Day and Humphrey Bogart was. Therefore, he is known as Bogart or Bo for short.

My 14 month old from the same breeder was from the coffee litter. He was named Java by her and since my husband and I are coffee junkies, we kept his name.

Fritz, our minature schnauzer was named because, well it just sounds so german, and this breed was developed in Germany.
Broc, our cairn terrier who looks a lot like Toto in the Wizard of Oz movie, was named for the gaelic word for "badger" which is one of the animals these dogs were traditionally bred to corner in their lairs and hold them there till the human came along and finally dispatched the vermin.  Broc lives up to his heritage, if one substitutes a tennis ball for the "vermin".  He is absolutely tenacious in finding and returning any tennis ball thrown into the deepest brush, deepest snow, water or whatever.  We have an exceptionally deep snowfall this year.  There is literally 3 feet of snow everywhere.  We can throw a tennis ball way far away into the snow and it can sink way down and he will spend a half hour if required to sniff out and retrieve that ball.  He will literally swim through the deep snow if required.  But he will never give up and he will get that ball every time.  He's a great little dog.

Broc is cool. That reminds me of my pointer. I would pick up a rock out of the driveway, rub it in my hands and then toss it into the woods. (We are surrounded by woods) If Buck saw me toss it and knew the general direction it was thrown, he would take the time necessary to find it, in the dark. A phenomenal nose.

What breed is he?  Very cute.  Could definitely be a DOTM.......

[Danny]

OK, gotta say it. The forum is finally going to the dogs

        That is a very cute little dog. We sure enjoy our tiny chihuahua "Zoe". She is so zany sometimes playing around with the G-kids and tossing her treats around, then pouncing on them like a cat.


btw: I agree that little dog is DOTM

[broKen]

Do I see some Pomeranian there?

[Zohn]

On the left is Blompot - (flower pot) because she can sit and stare forever.
The siamese/persian is Hunny Bun. (started out as Honey bunch)


Broken, the stare comes with the family - "that's what us cats do..."



This is Mattie - a name given to her by my daughter (because she's "as tame and affectionate as a dog" - and the obvious relation for my daughter was "Dog Matix") She is a darling!!

[broKen]

Gadzooks! It's a microsaur.

[Yusuf_Mohammed]
