Pet names, both past and present, except for goldfish, which I kill at an alarming rate.

Lassie - a female mixed breed terrier, that I was allowed to name, but my first choice of Rin Tin Tin was over-ruled.
Buzzard - a homicidal parakeet
Cecilia - the earth mother of all guppies
Bentley aka Benny - a dog for the ages
Chello, Gaby, and Keetsie - the current parakeets, that mock me.
