Cara...you had a scorpion? ick ick

two gerbils-- litter mates, one black and white, and one buff with pink eyes....
we named them Inky and Pinky

Our black and white kitty was named when we got her by her original family, so we kept that..it was cute= Oreo

Our middle black cat had ears that tipped down when she was little..so
we called her Tippy. (she grew into this name like we would never believe).

Our oldest cat is very into alpha behaviors, and is all black too.. so she became Sheba. (this is not a very original name for a black cat either.).

When I was a kid, I had a parakeet...named Willie

And our red cocker spaniel then was named Reds

But I have never named a fish, except for Oscar (sorry Doody
.
)... we bought him 1 inch long and he grew to own his own tank..he got over 12 inches long! One time when I opened the top to feed him he leaped out and hit me in the chest. I was so startled, and screamed and my husband heard it all the way out in the yard--a ways away-- and came running.
