I'm fairly good with names and faces of people, but my DH has noticed that I never seem forget the names of people's pets even when I draw a total blank on the name of the owner.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I never seem forget the names of people's pets even when I draw a total blank on the name of the owner.Is that just because pet names tend to be wacky? Like, would you remember a cat's name if if was John or somesuch?

Yes, no, maybe? I suspect the wackiness helps, but there's probably an element of how I'm more shy around people and will interact with their pets as an indirect method of interacting with them -- "Your beagle is named Darwin? Oh, Darwin . . . what a sweet puppy you are!" instead of, "Your beagle is named Darwin? That's cute! Did you come up with that name yourself, Barbara?"

You could say, "Your name is Barbara? Oh, Barbara, what a sweet human you are! Do you like belly-rubs? Here, have a human treat!"

I'm certain that if I do that, tommyrot, everyone in the new neighborhood would remember my name.
