What is your pet's name and story behind it?

Hi Hachiko,
Such a delightful topic you have initiated...and such lovely stories pals have posted .Enjoyed reading all about the names and their stories...now here I am with my stories!
We have been a canine loving family thru generations.During my childhood days ( that's very ancient history, being a granny now!) I remember the 4 German sheherds we had.My Dad who was a medical doctor by professiondid all the 'looking after', my mom was not too keen and my brother and I just played with them.Well, the first couple were called James & Jessica,Jimmy & Jessie for short .They had several litters of pups who all found good homes.They both took part in Dog Shows too and won some trophies! Both passed on after 10/11years Then we got another pair two males this time as my Dad could not handle the dog breeding and his patients and the rest of us he felt could not do it as well as he did.We had to concentrate on School/College ofcourse. So we got twq German Shepherds called BRUNO & OTTO....my brother's choice of names ....all this way back in 1964 mind you! All our pets gave us immense pleasure and were part of the family and slept on our beds or under our beds as they chose much to my mother's discomfiture !!
In later years when I moved with my husband to Egypt we got our first pet again a German Shepherd and called him Omar Sharrif after the Eghyptian actor who was reigining supreme with his movie "Funny Girl"along with Barbara Streishand.Omar stayed on for three years till we moved and he joined our Egyptian friends.We missed him and our Siamese cat called Caramel or Clara for short.Omar and Clara were adopted by the same family so that was good .In defiance of the Law of nature this was a case of a loving Canine and a loving Feline so we could not separate them could we?
Next we got a lovey dovey pair of PomxSpitz pups whom our daughters christened Romeo & Juliet.

The second batch of pictures show our first Romeo & Juliet as pups in 1999 and adults as in 2005.Romeo passed on in 2006 and Juliet in 2010.We were heartbroken each time and could only comfort ourselves by getting other doggies with their names to keep their memory alive.

When Romeo1 passed on we got a Golden Lab to keep Juliet company...here are pics of the Romeo 2 and Juliet -- 2006




After Juliet passed on in 2010 we got a Basset hound and since he was a male we named him Julius and call him Juju for short. The last picture is a pic of our present duo Romeo & Julius. They are the VIP's at home now!
