the character in a book "Nine Princes in Amber". The cat was amber
colored. Turns out so is the kid.
We did have a dog named "Boy" once though.
Ginny who?

who became Pricilla. When I was a child I had a cat named "Darling." He
was allowed outside (against my protests), and when I called him in, the
neighbors had a lot of fun!

Some time ago our DS - Michal (Polish for Michael) asked me why
he was named Michal - was it a family name? Someone famous,
handsome or brave. I avoided answering for a long time...
Eventually he cornered me, I took a deep breath and said: "How
shall I put it... you see that old teddy sitting in my little
sewing room?"....
The rest was as could be expected...
He seriously doubts his parents sanity...

P.S. I came up with a credible answer after some serious thinking
- DH's grandfather was Michael. DS doesn't believe THAT story...

I had a friend in college who had a cat named "Adi", short for "Adios":
When she and her brother brought the cat home, her dad said, "You
better name her Adios, 'cause she's not staying long!" So they did,
and after 10 years, Katie's dad is Adi's favorite person! (It's
mutual, though dad won't admit it)

this one, who belonged to the neighbors, adopted us he named her dog.
She would usually come running when we whistled and she liked to
follow along when we walked somewhere in the neighborhood. We got her
the first summer we were married and she was about 6 months old. She
died 20 years later and we were devastated. She was our family - we
have no children.
About a year later we were adopted again - this time by an abused and
dumped 5-year-old cat who wandered up to the house one day and never
left. She took quite a while to trust us and still shies away
sometimes when approached directly. I named her Myrt - the name my
grandaddy called my grandmother Myrtle. The cat came along not very
long after my grandmother died.

Our cat was named Maddog - named by my daugher when she was ten. Have no idea
how she came up with it but it certainly sparked a lot of conversation.

weeks old and fed him baby formula from an eye dropper and then baby
meat and vegetables. He was extremely spoiled as he was my whole life
when I got him at age 14.
Ricky grew up with my cocker spaniel and must have thought he was a
dog. He barked and growled at birds through the window. AND he was
very good at doing tricks - sitting up and begging and shaking hands.
He did put him foot down at "lie down and roll over" kind of tricks.
He lived 20 years and his photo is on my living room wall.
Take care!

Jones song) but when I took HER to the vet for a checkup, he told me I
would have to change the cat's name. Being extremely sheltered and
naive at age 14, I thought there was some kind of rule against naming
a cat Delilah. It turned out SHE was a HE.
We now have a female cat named Ricky but she's a real pain in the
neck. We also have another female cat named Lassie. My daughter has
threatened to name her firstborn daughter after her. That's okay. Her
name is Bambi so why not name her daughter Lassie?

interstate as a teenager my aunt sent me a book of free-verse poetry
called 'Archy and Mehitabel' by Don Marquis. It is a book written by
Archy (a cockroach) about Mehitabel (a cat who was Cleopatra in a former
life) and her life. It is gorgeous and my cat is Mehitabel (Bel for
short). People always think I'm nuts and when I tell them about the
book it only gets worse.

This isn't fair!!! My "name" would be Prince E.254th. Just doesn't
make it as a name!
Neither would my current dog/street name when I got him:Woody Sherman.
Though that might work if I were trying to name a character for a novel
or something...
BTW, Woody is named after my favorite fictional character: Lazarus Long.

years, there have been lots of strange ones (including lots of
boy-turned-girl and vice versa, when the owners find out they guessed
wrong!) Here are some of my personal favorites:
Ratboy (cat)
Diddybite (Vizla)
Wuss (my own cat)
Dogbreath (mixed breed dog)
Red Baron (red poodle0
Bowtie (Persian)
Ashes and Cinder (kittens born in a fireplace)
Mungo Jerry (cat)
Banshee (Border Collie)
Deogee (OK, say it aloud slowly, get it now? actually, I"ve seen at
least 4 of this name)
Suitcase (lab puppy carried by owner to work each day in a suitcase)
I also have to include one of my other cats: Phoenix, who was burned
as a kitten, and "rose out of the ashes" but a friend actually helped
me name her, and anyway, we now call her Squirrel mostly. Loved the
name Phoenix, but she looks just like a grey squirrel, cause she has
no ears!
I love to ask clients why they named their pet something, and love
especially hearing about literary references, or foreign language
names. Then, there's my brother, who named the kittens I gave him,
...BW (black and white) and Blackie. so original!
Karen, who named her son after a soap opera character!
Susan Ford
names ever since them, but I try to pick not so common people names. Some
I've had:
Morris, Ivan, Igor, Gomez, Ingrid, Jake, Boris, Seamus, Charlotte, Emily
(bronte sisters), Felix, and the list goes on...
Some of those kid names were:
blackie, whitey, kitty, tippy, and Sherman. Well, I named Sherman after a
nieghbor bully (the cat was mean) and told his mother WHY I named the cat
after her kid... mom was so embarrased.. :)

Yes, that's them! We need to import some to attack the tourists who
invade the New Jersey Shore in the summer. Can you email some over
here, please?

They have become a protected species and I cannot get an export licence!
The biggest colony of these critters is now up north, terrifying Japanese
tourists visiting the Daintree and Kakadu National Parks. I believe they
had their fill of Americans during the R&R periods of the Vietnam war, and
wanted Asian food in their diets for a change! (VBG)

Well, Doc, I name the animals for the way they look.
My blue pt. Siamese used to bob her head up & down before
pouncing, so she got named Bobbin' .
Hairy was the guinea pig, and he was. Our dog Freckles
had them all over her nose.
Dusty, the Siamese mix, is that color and about as
controllable as the dust, too. <g>
I want to be able to remember the animal's name when I see them!
When I was in high school, constant companion dog,
a lovely black Cockapoo, was named Scratch. <g>

Just got back a little while ago from a S.E.X. trip with Marissa . . .
we went to JoAnn's to pick out fabric for my Judyquilt.
And fabric I did buy -- lots of it!! I don't usually buy fabric for
specific projects; I like a scrappy look myself. And the patterns I
bought tonight aren't what I would choose for myself, but they just
screamed Judy's name at me, which is great since the quilt is for her!
I also bought a "Shape Cut" on the recommendation of several people
here (it was on sale), and a big bag of Warm & Natural, which was half
price. So I'm checked out for my newest (and sure to be my fastest)
project. I stayed focused, too, and bought only what I needed . . .
very rare!
I'm gonna make a Rail Fence, approx. 60x70, by the pattern in "The It's
Okay If You Sit On My Quilt Book" (yep, Ragmop, I finally got it! Had
to special order), which uses 2 darks, 2 meds, and one light fabric. I
already washed and dried it, and am going to cut strips tomorrow.
Hopefully I will also start sewing tomorrow, too! I decided to tie it,
for speediness' sake.
Speaking of "The It's Okay . . ." -- what a fabulous book!
Cheers!

want for the backing of my MQ. They had never seen it. So I started
wondering.. I found a wonderfull splotchy yellow orange and a golden brown
leafy thing that will be incorporated into my mom's fall quilt. Got half a
yard of each, but one was the end of the bolt so I got that too at half price.
I also bought a baggie with three ladybugs... I am going to glue one to my MQ
and it will be the Y2K bug. I got a red Pigmapen to make more colourful
signature blocks and labels, a crib sized all cotton batting that was just 3
bucks, and a beautiful eggplant solid (two yards) to substitute for the black
that the fall leaves quilt calls for. See, yellow and black are the colours of
my dad's enemy soccer team... he wouldn't let my mom display this quilt in the
house if at any point the yellow touched the black! I think that was all... 24
bucks, not bad... and I am getting some of the fabric Chris bought for the
backing of the quilt...

this is completely off-track, but.... I just bought one of those little
bean-bag dogs that Hush Puppies sell in shoe stores - very cute, big eyes
and floppy ears!
anyway, I was waving it at my other half going 'wroof! wroof!'... and at

wandering around school and brought him home in his backpack, while riding
his bike. The kitten got so unnerved, he managed to get half-way out of
the thing and bit DS on the ear. He immediately earned the moniker after
the boxer. DS looks at me funny when I call him Evander.
But, this new cat only sleeps on NEW fabric! He likes new quilts in
bedrooms too. Doesn't like me too much since I put him in that carrier and
took him for his little operation and shots. He's definitely attached to
the kids.
Happy quilting,

You could start with DeBussy in the beginning (something slow, like
"prelude to the afternoon of a faun" (BUMP), then something light and
fiesty (Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", from
"Nutckracker" ) (GRIND -- a great juxtasposition, doncha think?). Crank
it up a notch with Ravel's "Bolero" (TWIRL them tassels!). Go WILD with
Dukas' "Sorcerer's Apprentice" (tassels have, ah, disappeared). For the
NOTHING ... back to Tchaikovsky -- the DARKEST part of "Pathetique"

Of *course* she did, silly! And some really great stuff, too; nice and

It turns out that I waaaaaay overbought for the Judyquilt . . . I cut
the strips on Sunday (BTW, I adore that shape cut thing! First time
ever that my strips have turned out straight and not wavy), and I had
tons left over. Yep, this is a hint, my moppy friend! Hope you like
