Be Careful What You Name Your Pet
Both our dogs are named (by my wife) after fashion designers ..... one is called Lulu after Lulu Guinness and the other is called Coco after Coco Chanel. All quite innocent and above board. Lulu is a Shorkie (75% Shih-Tzu/25% Yorkshire Terrier) while Coco is an Imperial Shih-Tzu
Recently Coco has taken to running after people who are jogging and it wasn't until I took them out some months ago that I suddenly felt uneasy about shouting her back. I've mentioned this to my wife a few times and she thinks I'm crazy however, the other evening we took them to the usual park and out of knowhere from behind us ran a football team on a warm up session. Coco goes chasing after them and latches on to one guy who just happened to be black .... I will leave it to you how I felt shouting her name while she was running alongside this guy.
I guess it's a sign of the times we live in where (and I honestly didn't think I would feel this way) you feel conscious of the name chosen for one of our dogs.
She doesn't try to bite them but enjoys just running next to them.
We also have a friend who named their Alsatian Isis a year before Isis was famous for other things but now they get strange looks shouting this out in public.
Any other stories out there?
