Being in the general proximity of Bear Island, some there might think you are referencing them when you call your dog.

I used to work as a vet tech assistant and I have seen THAT NAME used many, many times for dogs and cats. It's hard to call a patient to an exam room when you can't say their name in public!

I add the "t" and call a bully at work PITA. It works twofold because his last name is Payne.

One of my friends is an avid fisherman. He calls his pet Hooker.

How's that for your doggie? I can hear you calling for your dog

"PESKY" Pesky pup sounds good.

After having lunch with my wife, Pesky is under serious consideration.

Of course the 8 year old has final approval...

Will advise!

Careful with what the young one suggests. My son, who was around 5 at the time, decided to name our new (very white) cat Marshmellow.

I think it was the comedian Steven Wright that said he named his dog Stop. He would call come here, Stop!
