Great article! Although not really that unusual, we names our first border terrier, “Noodles” and our second one, “Pockets”. Of course, we came up with nicknames such as Nudie Boy, Noodlito, Pockie Poo, etc. Aren’t pets just so much fun?
I have a Russian Blue named Tonks (from the Hairy Potter books). Everyone thinks Im weird but honestly I put two things that I love together. My cat and my books!!
