Don’t name your St. Bernard “Tiny”

My son had a wild black kitten that was named Rambo. As he matured, he mellowed and has been renamed Squeeky.

I named a 16 pound Norweigan Forest Cat Big Pu$$y, and a kitten I called Velcro.

A friend had a cat named Turbo.

A large 3-headed Harry Potter dog was named Fluffy.

I refer to my cat as “Adorably Vicious,”

A friend named his 100lb pit bull mastiff “Kitty.” Here kitty kitty kitty and a hell hound comes loping over to slobber all over you.

I call my neighbors chihuahua, Cujo!

When they lived in Oklahoma, my brother and his wife had a cat named “Köttur” (the Icelandic word for cat, sounds like “cutter”). When people would call “Here kitty”, Köttur would ignore them, but when someone said “Kisa” (the Icelandic version of kitty), Köttur would come. Apparently, the cat spoke Icelandic, but not English.

I had a cat called Ruff Knuckles. He was the tom cat of the neighbourhood and went toe to toe with King Brown Snakes. That a**hole earned his name

All these sharing of pet names, I find adorable!

I had a zebra. Named him “Spot.”

I always thought “Fluffy” was a good name for a salamander.

Roscoe is precious today : )

Data’s cat on Star Trek TNG was named “Spot”.

We have a friend who named his cat “Shiva”, which is the Hindu god of destruction.

A neighbor named her soon-to-be 85 lb pit bull “Marilyn”.

never take a dog named “shark” to the beach!

Our extremely fluffy black cat has the longest, most animated tail I’ve ever seen on a cat. Squirrelly Dan’s name fits him perfectly.

So how did Roscoe get his name?

My pitties’ names are Cookie, Muffin and Tater.

My wife had a dog named Din-Din … only name she would respond to

Why did he name his dog Rosco?

The name Roscoe means “doe wood” or “roebuck copse” and is of Cornish origin. It can be spelled as Rosco, Roscow, or Ruscoe. Roscoe can be a good name for a dog because it can honor ancestors or celebrate nature. The name can also inspire a dog to be graceful like a deer or mysterious like a forest. Yes , I looked it up.It’s a lot different than what my huusband said it was.

Once again…… the dog steals the show

Hoover is a good name for any dog.

Buncha Bull.

We really didn’t care for the name of our rescue dog Jax. But he started wagging wildly whenever we said it, so we decided we better not change it.

Now he’s known as Jax Dog.

If that’s the case Earl, shouldn’t Roscoes name be Bone Head?

When my mother started dating a man with a cat killing german shepherd our cat was banished to the basement and was renamed “the jabberwocky” after it went a little insane and fearful.

Thankfully she found a new loving home with a woman my uncle had nicknamed “the fish head”

my sister named her cocker spaniel Bruiser.

It is what it is!

My first pet was “Boots,” but mom suggested it and I was 7.

Years ago we had a grey and black tabby named “Pepper”.

But see, Earl, the cat is only “mean” and “ornery” towards YOU. With Opal, it IS a “cuddly, lovable furball.” Muffin knows who appreciates and cares for her – and the feeling is mutual.

There’s a wonderful children’s book called “A Porcupine Named Fluffy”.

And a bear named ‘Cuddles’

I have a big Pitt Bull named Manfreddy. (Tulsa King.)

He stole that from Hagrid

I had a cat named astrophe.

I had a Doberman named Satan, and he was the nicest dog ever!

Roscoe’s eyes!

True, pitties are not really fluffy. But I called my son’s pitbull Cupcake cuz she was just a chunky helping of sweetness.

Maybe Opal just likes muffins.

I have 3 friends who named their dog after my real name, Gollum. Kidding.

Earl’s friend must be the guy who had a boy named Sue.

Naming a Pitbull fluffy is like naming a yorkie Cujo

Our clowder has the following: Odinsdottir (big black floofy NFC), Kei and Yuri (A pair of Siamese littermates, they look like Lovely Angels, but are really a Dirty Pair), Phryne, A tortie and cream with an attitude and a knack for getting into trouble, and lastly, a little Tuxedo named Fred after Frederich Austerlitz, who always looked good in a tuxedo. They have other names, but they have kept those secret from us.

At least he knows himself.

Had a snake named “Cuddles”. She was a 9 foot Burmese Python. Really loved to cuddle, especially with rats and bunnies. But alas, as with Lenny, they did not survive.

Pit bulls, American Staffordshire Terriers are “the babysitting dog” because of how well they look after, and protect kids… the only dog to be on the cover of Life magazine three times… the all American dog… woof woof! :)

We had a male cat that was named “El Gato”, which is Spanish for “The Cat”.
