I've always named everything, except the budgie I had for a while, and even he I guess had a name, because he annoyed me so much I kept calling him "Stupid Bird"!
My last cats were Macaroni and Skatcat. Mackie died a few years back, and Skat decided she wanted to stay and live with my mom, so that's where she is. The toad is just named Toadie, because I tried naming him something else and that's all I ever keep calling him anyway. We had two other toads up until this summer, named Bob and Joeboo. (the kids picked 'em!)
Our first garter was named Dojo by the kids, and when she gave birth, they, with their infinite creativity, named the baby Dojo Junior-- hence, D. J., now Deejay.
And anyone who's been reading my recent threads knows the story of Stitch, the Dekays snake. So that about sums it up until I get more snakes, because they are the only kind of pet that are husband approved now!! (NO FUR!!
