My dog is called 'Shrimper'

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

To pre-empt a few possible replies, I am not refering to two legged Tracey's and Sharon's, though have your fan if you like.
Last year the family hound arrived - struggling to justify what I might shout in the local park without too much cause for embarasment and with early suggestions for names like 'Woofer' from the kids or 'Donny' (Osmond) from the wife, I timidly put forward the suggestion of 'Shrimper'. To my amazement it was accepted and the mutt seems to have settled into this handle quite well, being ok at corners (Barrett), a bit tardy at discipline (Maher), having a poor sense of direction (Gray) and frequently sh*tting on the lawn (??).
Well, encouraged by my family taking notice of me for once, a few months later a moggy joined our Suffolk clan. Here there was no doubt about the name - ocassionally interested but generally asleep, the pussy was christened 'Bramble'.
Can't now wait for the rabbit to snuff it (for some reason called Errol) so can find a better name for its replacement.

sh*tting on lawns = fans attributes - I know, a Karer told me!

2 friends of ours asked us to look after there cat while they went on vacation.Needless to say we lost the moggy.With fear and sadness in our hearts we searched the neighbourhood calling for the cat,whose name just happened to be mazda,while all the time driving our car which as coincidence would have it was a mazda.All we found was some smart arse who yelled you sitting in it.
We found the cat at the vets with a broken leg the day after our friends got back.I don't think they will let us cat sit anymore.

My soon to arrive new baby is going to be called either 'Tilly' if it's a girl or 'Tilson' if it's a boy.

You mean Christian, not Chris, of course.

No, it's not the promotion winning team but the side which began our first season in the old second division so well (pretty much anyway, that's a convenient way of honuoring the legend that is Chris Powell rather than the fairly limited Christian 'Sloppy' Hyslop).

My dog is called "Blitz"

The bloke who sits near me at Roots Halls had two hamsters one called Alvin the other Martin, I kid you not.

Priceless. Going round and round going nowhere seems to have got it just right.

I don't think even a hamster would have made the mistake of signing Kev Maher.

My dog is called Puddles.

 

[zulu_shrimper]

we have a West Highland Terrier called Jock (for obvious reasons) who flew out with us when we emigrated

Sharon or Tracey would have just been too easy - not to mention the funny looks we'd have got as we walked along the beach with a dog swinging nuts bigger than Buster Gonad

On theChildren theme, I wanted to name my eldest (if she had been a boy) after two players, I had a tentative ok until she found out who they were and uttered those unforgettable words "No son of mine is going to be called Mervyn Anton"

Emlyn Hughes has a son and a daughter. His son is called Emlyn, and his daughter Emma Lynn.

I tentatively suggested Ian Benjamin as first and middle names - but she wasn't having it!

A mate of mine had two children one called Ben and the other Abby but this was before the great O's destroyer signed for us.
