When London Zoo first opened, you got in for free if you brought a cat or dog to feed to the lions.

I remember that. Used to be a way of disposing of losers from Crufts.

My female budgie, Jacqueline, has died today of liver disease aged 4. During the last few days she was active, but suddenly, yesterday, her health began to fail and she died today. I'm quite saddened for her mate, Trevor, who is very distraught and nervous, he thinks that she is going to return to the cage. This is the second time that Trevor has lost a mate.

Budgies are great pets. When I was at Uni my GF (now my wife) used to write to me. Her budgie sat on the end of her pen and pecked the edge of the paper so ended up with patterned letters.

Indeed, they are great pets.

My wife's grandad had a pet budgie once. It once told her aunt "you're a fucking bastard!"

 

All of her family were greatly amused. Except the aunt.

When I was a kid my mum let the neighbourhood kids who didn't have pets name our goldfish. I can't remember all of them but I do remember Salad and Deckchair as two of the names (of the fish not the kids). Could have been worse I suppose.

I've thought for a while that a good name for a dog would be Terabyte.

Ok I confess that, as a young boy, I kept mice and two of them were called Tammy and Horatio.

I also had a cat called Patsy who was a boy cat and a dog called Gyp.

As a teenager I had a gerbil called Pip and, as an adult, we had a dog called Dylan as the family pet.

None, not one of them was ever going to be called  Nigel, Katrina or Cressida or Douglas or any other kind of stupid name, ever!

I went to do a job at the scabby bedsit flat once in downtown Basildon.

The fella who answered the door was the usual toothless, smelly article wearing large underpants and with breath that would destroy the most powerful of odour eaters.

Within the confines of that flat he kept a mongrel dog that was an utter fruit loop that wouldn't stop bounding around the room.

'Oi, Monkey Bollocks!! 'Sit down!! he screamed at it and, amazingly it calmed down.

Now THATS a name to give a dog!!

When I was a kid I had two goldfish called Postman Pat and Fireman Sam.

 

When I tried to keep goldfish as an adult (they don't last, stick to rodents), I realised I probably had several hundred pets called Postman Pat and Fireman Sam and never twigged they were different goldfish, because I was a kid. And thick.

 

The dangers of letting kids name pets! I often think of a friend at school, who let their youngest sister name their hamster. Poor old Sweetheart The Hamster...
