First off I have a cat that technically didn't have a name until we took her to the vet a few years back. The cat still 'technically' doesn't have a name. I guess she does but I don't know how to spell it. The cat will only come anyway if she feels like it. It's such a cat thing.
She will come to you (if she feels like it) when you make the cat sound. Kind of a tch, tch, tch, tch. Well we had to take her to the vet years ago and they asked what her name was we couldn't say Tch, tch, tch, tch. So the cat's unofficial name is Dinah. Still have no idea where my daughter came up with that name.
Well what made me think about that today was I had to call a vet to make an appointment for my other pet that I've had for about 11 or 12 years now. No not a dog. I have a pet snake (no jokes please). I think I have the only snake that seems to be blind and can't smell a rat in front of it's face so it's off for a $49 vet visit. (I think visits to MY doctors office are cheaper).
Well, once again. I didn't name my pet myself. Years ago my niece noticed a pattern on the snake that led to the pet's name. So hear is the conversation I had with the vet today. Remember, we are talking about a snake.
Me: Hello, I need to bring my snake in for a visit.
Vet: What seems to be the problem.
Me: I think he can't see, he can't seem to find the food right in front of him even though he tries.
Vet: We can make an appointment for today or next week. (Evidentally my snake can get in quiker for an appointment than I can with my doctor also.)
Me: I'm on my way out of town today, let's shoot for next week.
Vet: How does Tuesday sound?
Me: Sound good.
Vet: What is the snakes name?
Me: Um...
Vet: ??
Me: "Pumpkin"
So the moral of the story, don't give your pet's stupid names because you'll have to say them seriously to someone someday.
Sheesh, I still can't beleive I have a snake named Pumpkin.
