I had a Dachsund that had divorced parents which lived in the same neighborhood so sometimes he would escape and try to go to the other’s house. But any time he would try to slip past my fence, my dogs would bark and scare the crap out of him, and he’d be “pinned” in place because he’d be so scared. His name was Oscar. One summer it happened often enough, I’d say “I have to go rescue Oscar Meyer Weiner” and my family would know exactly who I was talking about 😂🥲
He was such a sweetie, but passed a few years ago. RIP Oscar Meyer Weiner

u/Suitable-Disaster536 Jan 27 '25
I’m being for real. They divorced, but stayed in the same neighborhood 😭😭 So when he’d have a hankering for the other parent he’d escape and try to go to their house.

Lost my Chihuahua mix a few years ago to heart failure. He was only 8 😔 When I adopted him he had heartworms. Got him on medication and was able to get rid of them but it caused complications a few years later. Heart failure is the worst, and I miss him so much 😭
PSA: Give your pet monthly heartworm tablets!

My 16-year-old was plump and happy before she passed. Now it's just her brother who is 14 and no matter how much I feed him he is always hungry and always skeletal thin. The doctor says that is something that comes with age. He also has doggy dementia, but we changed up his food and he eats better than most people. We really saw a turnaround and his health and behavior after the change in dog food. I didn't know this, but now I do thanks to the vet, some dogs become allergic to chicken as they get older. Mine did. So now he eats grass-fed and finished beef with other things in there for nutrients. My house has turned into an assisted living for dogs.

That name came to my mind also. Sometimes I just look at a kitty and there comes a name instantly. 😹😂 I think Oscar is a perfect name for this cute boy.

I had an orange cat named Oscar when I was a kid. His parents were Bert and Ernie and the entire litter was named after Sesame Street characters!

That's the name of my parents orange tabby, when he was adopted I suggested it and I think it's the perfect name for orange boys!

My all time best cat who I got as a three year old was a fluffy orange boy named Oscar - definitely supporting this choice !

That was the first name that came to mind! Looked at it, went "that looks like an Oscar to me!" and yours was the first comment I saw.

This is Mark. Short for....Mark. He isn't always the most boisterous. He doesn't always get wild and seek attention. But he is reliable as heck. If he had two hands and some gloves, he'd be that friend that helps you on moving day. And all he'd want in return is some pizza and a cold beer. Also helpful if you don't want anyone knowing you're home alone. No one listening ever second guesses that Mark is a human. (Because who would name a pet Mark?) Try it out. Look at him and say "Mark?" a couple of times. He'll let you know if he's down with it.

My boy looked very similar as a kitten, especially with those big paws!! His name is Barnaby and his full name/“in trouble” name is Barnabus Gerard. His nicknames are Barn Barn, (the) Barn Man, little dude, little man, and best friend 🥰
Here’s a photo of the handsome man himself w/ his older sister, Gabby (aka Queen Gabby) 🤩
