Well I'm biased, but Cheddar is the best pet name. Unfortunately I can't take credit for it. Ad I adopted her with the name. It just suits her perfectly.

A rather scruffy dog called Nuffing.
Another one called Shag.
A cat called Scratch.

I met a posh lady with 2 well groomed dogs when out walking my own dog.
She addressed the dogs as Colin and Barry, which I thought was fab!
