Our new West Highland Terrier pup, Hamish (8.5 weeks):

He's named after the lead character of one of our favorite (now defunct) shows on BBC America, "Hamish Macbeth" (HB was a Constable in a small north coast Scottish town called Lochdubh). In the series HB has a Westie named Wee Jock, but we preferred Hamish for our lil' critter....

Previous pets were named after characters of a favorite comic strip, "Bloom County" (Milo, Lola Granola and Hodge Podge). We had a black Lab named Mojo Jojo, a cartoon character on a show our then-4yo liked to watch. Growing up we had 2 cats, a Siamese & a Burmese named Mimi & Tuptim (characters from the musical "The King and I"), but for whatever reason we just called 'em "Kitty."

This is Molly Cupcake Mahoney. She's a 12 year old mini dachshund. I have had her since she was 7 weeks old! She's my best buddy in the whole world. This picture was taken a couple weeks ago when I picked her up after boarding her for a week while I did the AIDS bike ride. She was so happy to be in the car and coming home, and I was happy to kiss her sweet little face!!
