My maltese/yorkie mutt is named Alfie, and my dachshund/miniature pinscher mutt is named Scooter. Our orange tabby cat is named Daisy. My roommate in LA helped me think of Alfie's name. My husband thought of Scooter's and Daisy's name. He always liked Scooter for a dog name, and I thought it was fitting for our little dude!

Hubs likes "Tombstone" (the movie, not the frozen pizza), so we wanted something western-y. We adopted a Golden from the pound and named him Sheriff (I think Goldens would be the sheriffs of the canine world!).

Then a year later, we adopted another Golden and he was kind of an a-hole as first, so we named him Bandit.

Sheriff and Bandit

We have two Boston Terriers.

Clover we named after a song that we both happened to put on mixed cd's we made for each other when we were dating long distance - Crimson and Clover by Jimmy Eat World.

Thumper got her name because when she was younger, she would pound on the ground if she wanted something like a toy or our attention. She doesn't do it anymore but it fit and it stuck.

We have a coon hound mix that my husband named Jax. He thought it sounded like a dumb redneck name. It fits because Jax is pretty doofy. We call him Jax, Jaxi Boogs, Boogie, and Boogie Boo. We have a cat named Lara. I named her after Tomb Raider because of how crazy she climbed over the seats in the car when we picked her up. Lastly we have a Blue Merle Chihuahua named Leia. I named her after the Princess.

Our dog is named Pedro-he came with the name (he's a rescue) and his foster mom named him Mr. Petey. That totally did not fit him so we changed it back to Pedro.

Our puggle is named Brutus. My husband says he's a girly dog so we thought he needed a manly name to make up for it. And, I'm a pretty big history nerd so I wanted something historical. Brutus it is.

Our blue heeler is named Diesel. My husband's family has a history of owning heelers and they are always named Blue. If Blue died they got another one and named him Blue 2 (or 10, 18, 22, etc). My husband either wanted to continue that tradition or be funny and name him Red (since there are also red heelers). I vetoed both those and we settled on Diesel. Husband isn't crazy about it and wishes we had named him Bocephus (think Hank Williams Jr.).
