You’ve had a like impact with your posts….. yet, you have forced acceptance on us ….  

I like short walks and a good butt scratch here and there if you’re willing.

When I was young, we always named pets (cats) after famous people. 
 

Nipsy (Russell)

Mookie (Wilson)

Rebbie (Jackson)

 

My first cat after going out on my own was Janis (Joplin). 

The only other pet I named after someone was Maceo (Parker) - inspired by a Jane’s Addiction song.

I’m surprised this didn’t come to me first! It’s the dog at my feet! The last fun thing we did before Covid shut things down was seeing To Kill A Mockingbird on Broadway. (Awesome, btw!) We had been in line with the breeder for a while and went a couple weeks before pickup of the puppy to make our selection. It turns out our dog’s mother was named Scout. We just looked at each other and thought of the play. Our dog had been named. 

 

Funny little tidbit……everybody wanted puppies during the lockdown because it was a perfect time to train a dog. The breeder told me “if I had a hundred puppies, I could sell them all this weekend.”

I named our black lab after a river that I like to fish on…Rogue.

Rogue River, southern Oregon.  And a great name for an ornery old female black lab

Lovely, it was my youngest son’s first car. 

 

And also describes a few people I have known.
