Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hey, kidz iz kidz, and furkidz have names just as do skinkidz I LOVE Rhubarb for a name (although I was placing bets with myself that it would turn out to be a bunny). We nearly named our second beagle Cody but she chose her own name. So nice to have lots of people here who love their companion animals - they are very special for many many reasons. Good luck with the kat - ours rules the household! Love, Pat and the furkidz --- http://beanvegan.blogspot.com http://www.vegandonelight.com/spice " The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ah! LOL Well I kind of liked the idea of naming a child Rhubarb. With a name like Kathy (my usual moniker), doesn't it only make sense that I would be drawn to more uncommon names? Half my friends are named Kathy.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 How did our second beagle choose her own name? Well, it goes like this: We were told her name, but she didn't answer to it, didn't even blink when it was called, seemed not to understand it was a name, then we inquired again and were told she'd never answered to her 'name'. It was Augusta, and although it's a charming old name I might have rebelled against it too. Soooooo. Started to find new names, but meanwhile we had to call her something or other between ourselves other than 'Casey's new friend' or 'the dog'. So we used a name that, on the Island of Bali (where we used to go frequently back when), is for the second child in the family (in a series of four - as in, once you've run through the four names you start at No. 1 again - difficult to understand, but it works), that name being Made' (pronounced MAH-deh, with accent on both syllables). So we'd say, 'Have you taken Made' out yet, etc. etc.' while we were trying out all the possible doggie names to find if there was one which she might have thought was hers. No go. But one day I said 'What about Made'?' (meaning Child No. 2) and the little dear wagged her tail and came running, so, as I say, she named herself. TMI? Probably true. But we lost the little darling mid-June last year, complications of pancreatitis, so I am unblushingly sentimental about her. I miss her dreadfully every day.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Interesting, Pat; I *did* have a dog named Cody. This was when I was a teen yet. Big, fluffy, white dog who I nicknamed " code bucket " (Since when is a nickname longer than the real name? LOL). Sadly,a hunter shot her in the woods behind our house. -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog - drpatsant Friday, February 13, 2009 8:50 AM Re: Our Girls-clarification Hey, kidz iz kidz, and furkidz have names just as do skinkidz I LOVE Rhubarb for a name (although I was placing bets with myself that it would turn out to be a bunny).
