Cats:

Raven....A woman at the pool at my old apartment complex had a newborn girl named Raven and I loved the name.

Ron....I wanted another 'R' name, so I named him after my biological father who died when I was a baby...Ron....

Dogs:

Dusty...His name was Ajax, and I was just in a hurry to change that dumb name...Dusty was the first to come to mind.

Roxy....Her original name was ChaCha, so same as Dusty...just in a hurry to change it, I thought Roxy suited her well.

Sarah....my 6 year old son named her after a girl in his class.
