I took my dog to the vet yesterday and the lobby had a chalk billboard listing the names of all the pets with appointments that day. I noted them down out of interest.

A significant portion of these names could be names of little kids, which is fascinating to me. I wonder if human names given to pets tend to follow the same name trends as actual human names.

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
