What was your pet's Shelter Name?

[Cinder & Smoke]

Going back a few generations ~

"Fred" - the furst "Howze Kat" - was a tiny stray who moved in with and adopted "Casey" the German Shepherd as a foster mom. The kitten just acted like a Fred - and was originally examined by Doc Mike and "thought" to be a male... so Fred stuck. (Mite have had sumpin to do wiff Dad becommin "Phred" wiff da Fire Guyz!) On "neuter day" da Vet's Gurl called an asked if Dad minded if they did the "other operation" - kuz "Fred" wuz a she! Fred stayed Fred, even though Fredrica mite have been more appropriate.

"Arrow" was hired from the Dawg Pound to be a guard dawg atta howze - but moved inside durrin his furst winter and onlee went *on duty* when da Hoomins left for werk. He wuz dumped off atta pound when he wuz about one year old and knew his name - so Arrow it was.

"Shadow" wuz a beautiful Shepherd/Husky street kid around towne fur several munths... Had a red collar; but no one ever looked for her. Two local Vets had never seen her, and the lady across from the Fire Station knew Dad "needed a dawg"... The name came by accident - Dad an No-Name-Yet were inna Fire Station. Wunna da Fiur Guyz came in and not seeing N.N.Y., asked Dad "Where's your shadow?" *Instant Name*. "Shadow" fit her like a glove.

Dad's note: (through leaky eyes...)
Dear Casey, Fred, Arrow, and Shadow ~
You're all at the Rainbow Bridge now - but NEVER will you be forgotten!
Thanks for being important parts of my life. Wait for me, Kids...

"Boots, da Kat" - wuz a "walk up" atta Ranch... prolly dumped out frunt azza tiny lil kitten. Managed ta get past Shadow who wuz out onna tie-out ropey inna frunt yard. Climbed in the hole inna screen door an sat down on Dad's kliner chair arm an sed MeeOUW! I'z HUNGREE!
His name came frum lookin like he wuz wearin a pair of white firefighter's "Boots" onna back legz.

"Cinder"... I wuz a 6 mo old street kid till I gotz arrested an tossed inna new jail in Wheeling, WV. Nebber had a "Jail Name" - onlee an inmate fur 3 weeks. My jail Foster Momz posted a nice mug shot (earz UP) on the jail's webby site - just aftur Miz Shadow died an Dad wuz really down inna dumpz. Dad drove almost 3 hours to *check me out* - took me onna kuple Test Walkz around the jail yard, I passed a Kat Test (sorta ignored a jail kat inna face-ta-face "test") - so Dad sed "SOLD" an paid da Jailur a lil munnie - an off we went to da Ranch! (Course dat wuz AFTUR da Foster Mom sed I HADDA have a *baff* affore she'd lemmie go...) Dad sed Wow! when allua street grime warshed off.
