We’ve had some fun with reading how usernames were chosen, so let’s now think about the pets. I just read a listing where one of the pets is named ‘chewy’. It made me smile, wondering whether it was an inbuilt warning.
Many decades ago, having my first experience of a dog in our home, I learned the hard way not to leave out anything that was chewable. It was back in the days when I had a collection of beautiful, high-heeled leather shoes, when I had to dress up for work. These days my footwear could never be called a collection, and there are no heels in sight. You can guess the ending of my story maybe. I left the closet door open when I went to work, and my lovely dog had a feast. An expensive lesson, I can assure you.
Our cat Cassiopée was named after the constellation. When we adopted her very young at the SPCA we fell in love because of those bright eyes on a dark background just like stars in the sky.
My chickens here are named after movie and television characters!
We have Magnus, Sybil for example but my fave are The Brady Bunch!
Marcia, Jan and Cindy!
He’s the man of the coop. It is what is called a Hackle rooster. Because of their colourful plumage they are often bred for the feathers for fly fishing!
However, Magnus will not be donating to that activity
Our black cat‘s name is “Herr (Mr)Lehmann” and the other is called “Tante Käthe” (Aunt Katie). There’s no particular reason for this. We just found the names funny.
