When I first saw Duncan at the shelter, the sign on his cage door said he was a gordon setter mix so I was looking for a scottish type name, Duncan just kind of stuck. I didn't like it too much but he's stuck with it now!! ( I also call him Mr. Potato Head, I have no idea why. For a dog that is supposed to be part scottish, he won't eat a potato )
My childhood dog was named Bandit because we had adopted the neighbor's cat Smokey as our own since they didn't take care of him and the movie Smokey and the Bandit was big then in our family since my dad's cousin was in it. We also had 2 cats when I was really young named Boots and Mittens.
