This is Portia We got her from the Cats Protection League and because they have so many cats they named them by themes - she was part of a set named after cars, called Clio, Lexus and Porscha. We just changed the spelling so it was like the Shakespeare, although she's probably the least sophisticated cat in the world
i have a cat and he's called clarence that was his name from his previous owners so we didn't think it was wise to change it although it's still a lovely name
I have a black cat called Lexi, she was called Squeaky when we got her as a kitten but my childhood nickname is Squeak due to my high pitched cry as a baby, my parents still call me it a lot and I didn't want to have any confusion when the cat is called and I answer. So I changed her name to Lexi
Bob is the black puppy, he is a Basset Hound cross Springer Spaniel and is called Bob because he is Bob the Basset!
Did you get your basset hound from Animal Krackers? I'm only asking because they had one exactly the same on there website when we were looking for our dog, same colour and everything!
OP currently have 3 dogs; Athena named after the Greek Goddess she is a German Shepherd but isnt typical shepherd colours more blue and cream!! She looks like a little wise old woman. Maisie a labrador dacshund cross can run ridiculously fast, is so nice and kind but a bit stupid. She's a rescue dog. Bella who's the newest member of the family she's a staffy she's named after Bella Nuit (Beautiful Night) not bella from the Twilight series as she is jet black. She's also a rescue dog but is only a pup (6 months old) 3 Cats Paddy black and white half Persian, he's the oldest out of the three and only has three teeth he is the most independent and is stunning. Boris named after Boris Johnson, he's ginger, fat and lazy and thinks he is a dog Isaac who is jet black and is very clingy he will not leave women alone he's not so bothered about men but he will stay next to a woman for hours! 3 Fish Mills, Moyles, Big Fish all won at a fair and going strong, not much you can say about pet goldfish really... 2 Birds 1 Cockatiel named Georgie Podgie and a canary named Bumble, they were my grandas but we got them when he passed away. 1 Rabbit Sydney he is a lop-eared rabbit and actually looks like he smiles at you, he's beautiful and jumps up on your knee when you go in to his run. 6+ Chickens Calypso, Nana, Sparkle, Madge, Henrietta, Boudiccia and a newly hatched chicken with more coming soon!!

No we didn't. He came from a rescue centre in Bristol.
He was one of only 2 left from a litter of 8 that were dumped on them. There was him (the runt of the litter) and one of his brothers who exactly the same in terms of shape but was pale brown, really odd for a basset hound cross.
He is a lovely little dog though, is very nervy because we think he was abused by the family that dumped them all at the rescue centre. We've had him 2 months and he is only just getting brave enough to come up to you in the house. Outside he is OK, as soon as he is lying down he is fine but if he is wandering around the house he is terrified of people. He is finally getting over it a bit and is really coming out of his shell though.
cat called Gazza/Gaza, named after where my dad was born. I didn't pick the name, he already had it when I got back from a trip, but I like it. I had a cat when I was younger, a black and white cat.....called Jess. I was super imaginative as a child, clearly. I also used to have a rat called Jamellah (Arabic for beautiful!) and my sister had one called Wriggles.
My Dog is called Alfred (We got him from the Dogs Trust and they had called him Teal ) My cats are called Bobbie (After Bobby Robson because she's black and white and my Dad is a geordie), Maisy (She was called that when we got her) and Buzz (After Lightyear)
We had a few hamsters when I was younger - there was Holly, who bit me and then died, then Fudge who was ADORABLE, then really cute mini dwarf hamsters called Smoky and Smudge. But then Smudge killed Smoky so we never really liked him after that.
