We tend to name our pets after famous people. So yeah.
Dogs: Lily (deceased) - named for some famous person
Bridget (deceased) - same thing
Gracie - Gracie Ellen
Poppy - Poppy Montgomery
Ruby - No famous person here, I think. It's just 'cos she's red.
Cats: Maestro (deceased) - Because when he was a kitten he stood on two back legs and waved his arms around like a maestro.
Oscar & Wilde (both deceased) - We got them both on the same day. I think you can guess who we named them after.
Emmy - We have Oscar, so we thought Emmy after the Emmy awards or w/e. I wanted Grammy, but alas, no dice.
Sylvester - After Sly himself, duh.
Bird - A galah named Floydy (recently deceased) - Lessee, Galah's are pink, named Floydy. Named after a band. Take a guess.
