I wanted to name Mylo "Swarles Barkley" and call him Swarley, but my husband wouldn't have it. So I named him after the ginger kitten from Milo and Otis. It happens to mean soldier as well. Only name we could agree on.

Lily was named Barbie, and we wanted a name that ended in the same sound to help her adjust. She gets called Lill, Lilyphant, Lillers, etc.

OMG Swarles Barkley is hilarious. I love it hahah. Mylo is cool, but it's definitely no Swarles barkley hahaha
My, how time flies....

It's a How I Met Your Mother reference. He refused to be caught dead calling Swarley in a park or field. Haha. I will one day name a dog Swarley.

We could have had Swarley and Lily! Haha.
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

I've got one called Ellie the Belly.  She likes her food - and it shows!

I was looking at old photos yesterday and I found this gem.  My cats are indoor cats but sometimes sneak out of the doors are open.  I looked up to see this scene one day.

This made me giggle at work! I got a harness for mine so she can go outdoors when I move and get used to it, but she is not a fan. I have a feeling she may be an escape artist if given the opportunity!

Too bad the husband didn't let you name your boy that, lyonaria. It would have been brilliant!

I know right? He knew it was a tv reference and still he said no. I don't know why... I'm the one who walks them and has to call them. I can be the crazy America. He could blame the name on me!

Do you ever find yourself looking at cat/dog videos on You Tube?

I loved Jupiter the cat ones.  Anyone see them?  They are still on You Tube - well worth watching.
