Brigante, hence my username. It’s a character Al Pacino plays in Carlito’s Way, Carlito Brigante. Our current puppies are Goose and Mitch-Maverick’s real name is Pete Mitchell. Maverick was too much of a mouthful.

@travellingturtle

This is potentially a bit outing, but my friend and his partner brilliantly decided to let their then four-year-old son name their dog.

So now they have a dog named RobotCrocodile.

That’s brilliant!

I let my 4 year old name my tortoise.
She’s called Fluffy.
