What do you really call your pets?
May 8, 2020 – Chelsea Dunbar, Adult Services
I saw this trending topic on Twitter “Do you ever call your pet by their real name?”, and it brought attention to the names I call my own animals. When I started thinking through the list of names, it inspired me to gather this important data from my own department at the library (I’m very nosy). All I needed were two questions answered:
1. What is your pet’s real name?
2. What do you really call your pet?
And I received the cutest answers along with a few photos of our darling four-legged friends.
