Pet Names

The turtles love the sun!

Miles and Nina love the sun so much and, on days when I'm home during the light hours, I will move their tank around to different windows, so they get as much sun exposure as possible. Before I took them home with me they'd lived in a little dark cramped corner for so long, I wonder if they even remembered sunlight. I wonder too if they think that I am somehow responsible for the sun; if they think that I make that light. Heady, egotistical, turtley thoughts.

Also, they are named after Miles Davis and Nina Simone. I tend to name pets after writers, musicians and actors. The dog now: James Joyce Tran. The previous doggy: Spencer Tracy Tran. I really do love a good pet name. Some of my previous favorites: Kinross' cat named Le Halles, Susan's dog December, Sue's turtles Mulder and Scully and Steph's mouse Magic.

It was actually Sophia's mouse, but I had to take care of the little rascal. Sometimes I wonder if the Chinese seafood restaurant we used to go to in Focus plaza got shut down because they got a complaint about a mouse -- magic -- running around the restaurant hahah

Oh dude, of course it was Sophia's. Durr, I think I got it for her, or at least Magic's habitrail. I forgot to mention my other favorite pet names: Steph and Joey. I don't know if there is anything more awesome than naming a pet after yourself :D
