Last year, I came across the most amusing dog name…
Our previous neighbors owned a scrappy dog that was nervous and nippy. His name? Normal. It still cracks me up. James Hamblin, the ex-Atlantic writer, has a black lab named Raisin. How adorable is that? And I adore when people assign their pets names that sound human — our neighbor’s cat is Hilary.
That’s it! Just really looking to hear more!
P.S. 14 readers share their pet pictures, and the cutest book I’ve ever read.
