My dogs have always had people names. I don’t know why it amuses me so much, but it really does. The downside is that now and then you’ll meet a person with the same name as your dog… 😬

they tell us we’re not allowed to change it

I’d just smile and nod, and then give my new family member whatever name I wanted later that same day. Shelter tryin’ to tell me I can’t name my own pets?? They can get outta here with that noise…
