I've been in a relationship for a long time and no matter who I've dated, I've made it very clear that I hate pet names. Apparently there's a study by Scientific American that says those nicknames are actually good for relationships, I don't buy it.
I was missing my "kids," as I call them, the other day at work. I have three fur-babies; Lyric is a cat, he's my oldest, Penny is my shorkie dog and Graham is my little boy bunny. They are my world and I love them.
Like anyone else, there are special stories behind each name
Last weekend I went on location for the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society's "Fetch A Friend" at Colonie Center. I knew it was dangerous, as I do love animals, but since they specifically requested I do the event I couldn't say no. Alas, my fears were realized I saw them as soon as I walked around the corner... KITTENS!
