Got any Pets?
I was just wondering if anyone out there had any pets (actually I know some of you do) and just what prompted you to name them whatever their names are.
We’ve had 4 cats through the years, and they were all adopted. I never exactly liked any of their original names, so I changed them:
Mrs. Serena started out as Sabrina – she had 4 beautiful kittens. She was a very small Sealpoint Siamese.
Meggie was originally named Princess Margaret She was a Bluepoint Balinese, also very small.
Kelly was named Callie by her first owner, She was a great big tortie with a lot of Maine Coon cat in her background. And she was a big cat!
And finally, Gracie started out as Fanny (didn’t like that name) She’s a beautiful tiny pale marmalade long hair cat. Unfortunately, she was badly abused, and even after 2 years, still runs away at times. We’re making headway, but it’s sure slow going.
I’ve also had a couple of dogs along the way-
Susie & Mollie, mother and daughter beagles
Sam & Sadie Lou, father and daughter Lhasa Apsos
Emma Lou – a smiling black and tan hound dog type.
We also had a very large adopted dog - looked like he came from the stone age, His original owner named him Okemo after a ski resort, and I called him Kimmie.
I think he bit Buzz once.
