The animals I work with
Some names are strictly for humans -- Allan, Steve, Vivian, for instance. Sure, people will give their pets names like that to be funny or ironic, but they're really human names.
Some names are strictly for animals -- Spot, Mittens and Snowflake are examples that come to mind.
And then there are names that work for both. There are countless examples of that, but here is a list of people I work with who fit in that category:
Sandy
Jack
Walter
Chuck
Gazelle

About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
