We name the pets after famous orchestra conductors, so this one is Sir Simon Rattle. He's a border collie/corgi mix, both British breeds, so it's even more appropriate. Plus he has wild hair.

named after hockey player Sidney Crosby as my pup loves to play with balls, pucks,...

Pico the Dog is my Chihuahua, you can see her on youtube. My husband named her, he's a chemist and it is short for picogram,

We actually have a cat named Lax. We chose the name because we lived in Los Angeles for several years and moved back to Texas. We really miss Los Angeles and wanted a name that would have a special meaning to us but that most people wouldn't get.

I brought my Elphie home from the breeder on Halloween and wanted to give her a witch's name. Elphie is the nickname of Elphabah from Wicked. It seemed to fit her well because it sounds as cute as she is.

she is a millionaire dog

Wombat is my French Bulldog pup. It was the bat ears that struck me. Wombat just seemed to fit!

I have always admired Mikhail Barishnikov (spelling?) for his elegance, grace and style. When I got my new puppy Misha just seemed to fit so well and since it reminds me of one of my favorite dancers it was just perfect.

My red nose Pit, Honey Bear, is the perfect dog. She is a rescue dog. My niece found her and asked me to adopt her. I was hesitant because I had heard all the stories of pit bulls. When I met Honey Bear, she was very affectionate. I was still hesitant as I had a cat. I took her with the understanding that if she and the cat didn't get along I could not keep her.
The first night I was very worried that I would wake up and find my cat on top of the refrigerator scared to death. As it turned out, my cat is the dominant animal.

If Honey Bear would clean up her own poop she would be a perfect dog. She is affectionate, loyal, friendly, and gives unconditional love. Everyone who meets her loves her and she plays with the children in the neighborhood. Even my mailman likes the dog. She travels everywhere with me and is an excellent traveler. She loves to have her head out of the car. She was stolen from my work when I let her out to do her business on New Years Day. She was missing for over two months. It was a miracle that she was found by my secretary's husband 20 miles away. She was with the dognappers off leash and ran to my secretary's husband when he called her. Our local newspaper the Daily Breeze wrote of the recovery. I guess it was destined that Honey Bear and I be together.

I feel fortunate that Honey Bear is in my life. She brings constant happiness to me with her affection and personality. I now know that dog spelled backwards is god!

Our Husky has gorgeous blue eyes and was named "Hud" after Paul Newman's character in the film "Hud"...
