Pet Names
Pet Names is a page for fun. Some names are interesting, some are clever, some are funny. All are here for your enjoyment!
Dipstick is a little mixed-breed dog who was mostly white but the distal end of his tail was black, as if it had been dipped in ink.
Dream is the pet of famed Apollo 13 astronaut Fred Haise. Dream’s name actually has two meanings. When Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwan was the star player for the Houston Rockets the Haise family were huge fans. Also, when he was growing up the family had hunting dogs and they were not allowed to “play.” As an adult all of the family pets “belonged” to either the kids or Mrs. Haise, so Dream is a dream-come-true for Fred to finally have a dog that is truly his.
Hooper is a Boston Terrier. Her owner reports to us that the first dog recognized as a new breed, Boston Terrier, was named Hooper’s Judge.
Mango: so-named because she is mango-colored (and just as sweet).
Meowbert: a cute cat with a cute name but an un-cute attitude.
Scoop: short for her registered name, Scoop Of Love.
Squirrel: Squirrel’s owner used to tease her best friend by saying this was the name she was going to give to her firstborn child. Her firstborn turned out to be a dog, so Squirrel got the name.
SFO: the kitty’s original name was “Socks Falling Off,” but it soon became too cumbersome to say the whole thing, so it was shortened to SFO. Cute, huh?
Sticker/Tucker: The baby of the house couldn’t say “Tucker” when he was younger, so Tucker got two names: Sticker and Tucker!
Uey: Alice already had three Pomeranians. She was on an errand when she saw a flock of Poms who appeared to be strays. So, she did a “Uey,” a U-turn, to try to rescue them. All ran away but one, and she named him Uey!
Wrinkles: You might expect a dog named Wrinkles to be a Shar Pei, but she isn’t. She’s a Pug who was named by the children for the wrinkles in her face.

I have two Basset Hounds both female (named Cicely and Maggie) so, of course, I am partial to Bassets. I was in the veterinarian’s office one day and a lady came in with a little 8-week old male Basset puppy. So cute!! Best thing of all was his name - Higgins! Great name for a little boy Basset!
