I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

When I was four, my family had a dachshund named Penny. She was not a good dog for a family with young children, or perhaps a family with young children should have monitored them better around dogs. Anyway, she ended up rehomed with another family. But Penny for a dog with reddish bits seems reasonable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Whoa, askye, that's interesting. I will be sad if JCP disappears completely, I am sentimentally fond of that particular department store, but I hope the acquisition goes well for you. Belk isn't really nationwide, is it? That could be a big expansion.

I suppose Sparky is a quintessential dog's name, but I always imagine it being shrieked by a really annoying precocious TV kid.

For a reddish dog, how about Peppermint Patty?

Herding cats for fun

I thought about naming my orange kitten Kumquat so I could say "Come, Quat!" But she ended up as Coconut the Cheesy Peuf.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I did grow up with a dog named Sparky but I was not a television kid. Not so shrieky, somewhat precocious.

My sister names her cats after the vegetation they were found in: Juniper, Rhubarb, Cody (buffalo grass), etc.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Roobarb was the name of a British cartoon dog, who put out a Glam Rock single, as one did in 1970s Britain.
