No but I've named my bidet Muriel Bowels-er.

I dunno. I wouldn't name anything that can clean up shit after Muriel. If anything, I'd name my colon after her because they're both full of shit.

I’m going to name my closet business after her, and specialize in spaces to hang your empty pantsuits.

We named our dog Harper after Harper Lee but everyone seemed to think she was named after Bryce Harper who played for the Nats at the time.

Oooh yup in a certain timeframe I can see how that was the assumption! Accidental DC name

We have a cat named Woodley after Woodley Park. Kind of a mediocre cat tbh, but I don’t think it’s the fault of his name.

Birdytaps OP t1_iwm2r8f wrote

Not exceptional but a sufficient cat lol

We named a pet after a street. We were stumped about a name and decided to go through streets as an exercise just to think about some different names and when one name clicked, it clicked. And that’s how we named our cat Quackenbos (not really but you get the idea).

Birdytaps OP t1_iwleepq wrote

That’s basically how we landed on Tenleytown as well. (I promise not to steal your cat’s identity haha)

That’s an excellent name for a rattie

Cute! I travel a lot so no pets for me but I have thought a DC-inspired name for one would be fun. My top two are 'Shaw' and 'Disco' (short for District of Columbia)!

I'd love to meet a Disco, that's such a good one!!!

Birdytaps OP t1_iwo9u84 wrote

Shaw for a dignified critter, Disco for a critter that brings the party!

What a little fluff!! Adorable :)

Don’t see many full poodles these days! I always feel the need to connect when I do. 🤣

Birdytaps OP t1_iwlamvg wrote

Absolutely! I feel like poodle people are in on a best-kept secret that is somehow hiding in plain sight, they’re such great dogs

Our dog is Fauci

Birdytaps OP t1_iwoajqv wrote

I don’t have a witty response but I just appreciate this so, so much. Great name, even better for an pandemic pup!

Our dog’s name is Scout but her nickname is SCOTUS.

I don't have a doggie, but if I did I'd name it swampoodle.

Birdytaps OP t1_iwnu8hq wrote

Tenley is a poodle and I tell him all the time he’s our swampoodle:)

hookemhils t1_iwo6l0z wrote

Palisades, but we call her Sadie

Birdytaps OP t1_iwo9mh3 wrote

Love this! Likewise, this pup generally goes by Tenley (unless he is in trouble)

callmecaryl t1_iwmm6zy wrote

My Bernedoodle’s name is Soto (@Sotothebear on Insta). Now the one and only in DC 😂

Compared to Harper, we went with it because he did win the chip while he was here.

2

Birdytaps OP t1_iwnkrjw wrote

Reasonable! And now he’s one of a kind in the city

hahayouguessedit t1_iwnbmqi wrote

Did you shorten his name to Tenley since the town name changed? Cute 🐕

2

Birdytaps OP t1_iwnkq32 wrote

Tenley, TenTen, Alfred Lord Tenleyson, Tenleytoons, Toons, Tenlet, the list goes on :)

But yeah usually Tenley unless he’s in trouble and gets the full name treatment!

Birdytaps OP t1_iwob02e wrote

Wait wait wait. They changed the name of the neighborhood?

I've never seen a Poodle with such gravitas.

Birdytaps OP t1_iwoa6wq wrote

Thank you so much but it’s basically the only picture I have where he isn’t either 1) asleep 2) showing the camera his balls or 3) both

Before I get an earful, neuter is scheduled for early December

Thumbs up for Standards, OP! One of the best breeds out there, IMHO. Super smart, huge vocabulary and a lovely amount of derp.

My fam, up near Baltimore, have two and they're named after former Ravens players. 🤣

2

Birdytaps OP t1_iwoafpd wrote

You just summed it up right there!!!

Is it Rice and Flacco? (These are the only Ravens players I can name)

2

TODDFATH3R t1_iwpjri7 wrote

Ray (Lewis) and Torrey (Smith). 😃

By the way, Tenleytown is a super cute dog!

Birdytaps OP t1_iwpl1mu wrote

Thanks so much! Give your family’s standards a couple of boops from me when you see ‘em

My god every single sub is now a post a picture of my dog sub. There is no escape. The oh Hi so and so meet so and so...12/10...puppers...doggo....do you guys hear yourselves? I don't follow a single sub where this doesn't happen weekly.

Birdytaps OP t1_iwm2lwe wrote

Sorry. I love DC and I love my dog.

tiakeuta t1_iwm7fac wrote

No need to apologize I know I'm the problem here, just being an ass hole. I only wish somebody would create a reddit sub for dog topics, imagine how successful that would be? But then people would probably feel like they didn't get enough attention for their show and tell and come back to the real subs anyway. Have a blessed day.

I do get it. I hope you have an okay day too!
