Rare Soul Pets

[soulfulsaint]

....My mate from the Mecca, Ali Craigen, who sadly emigrated to Australia, had two pet budgies called Sam and Kitty. Personally they looked like bootlegs to me, but he assures me they were originals.

...are there other pets out there called after rare soul acts....?

[Chalky]

used to have a labrador called Tamla

[mischief]

my dog is called Doris after Doris Troy.... seemed a good idea at the time.

Not pet's named after rare soul act's, but my daughter's 6.5 yr old canary is a Northern soul bird.....

For the past 6.5 yrs everytime I play Northern he won't stop singing, but when Paris play's her chart stuff (tried hard to convert her but to no avail), he dosen't make a sound. Don't blame him either.

Our 2 1/2 year old Staffordshire bull Terrier is called STAX. After the label rather than soul acts...

I used to have a bulldog, called it Luther.

Wayne.

[mark ellis]

My dog was always going to be called Thelma (Jones, Houston, Lindsey, record label etc.) but at the time Daisy seemed to suit better, still think it does so Thelma's her middle name.

PS She can't dance, but can do a spin.

I hate pets. When my stepdaughter was getting herself a flat she came up with some cock'n'bull story about her friend buying her a cat as a house-warming present but she had to pick one from the cat-rescue lady and her friend would pay later. I of course asked if the landlord allowed pets and she assured me he did. So off goes the wife and her to choose one and a couple of hours later they're back and she's got to pick it up a few days later. Then the wife starts on me that she's seen a cat too. I tell her I don't want a cat cos it will be me who ends up looking after it and it will ruin the furniture and carpets. For 4 or 5 days she kept on and eventually just to shut her up I agreed. Come the day off they both go again and 2 hours later they're back with a cat for the daughter and two bloody cats for us!! "He needs a friend" my wife said. Daughter goes off to her flat and I spend a couple of days forcefeeding the cats and cleaning up s**t everywhere. Take them to the vets and they've not been properly weaned.

I called him Tamla and her Thelma but now the sad part. We came down one morning and Thelma had died of a twisted bowel according to the vet. Then in the afternoon daughter comes around with her cat. Landlord

does not allow cats so we're back to two.

I feed them and empty the litter. They've clawed the leather suite. They moan until you let them in the bedroom and then jump around playing with the light switch cord at 3 am in the morning. Everything I feared would happen,did. My only consolation is that we had their boll**ks cut off although the wife said if she could have got a 3 for 2 deal she would have had me done at the same time. If I play records they sit in front of the turntable and watch it go round and at first they'd make a grab for it until I pointed out to them that they'd already lost their boll**ks and they wouldn't want to lose any other bits, which has done the trick.

Im now quite used to them but can you get cat-paint. I want to paint Tamla white with a big red A but the wife thinks he'll be a laughing stock with his cat mates.

If my wife and I ever secure that little cottage by the sea,she`d like a poodle and call it Fluffy Falana.

[Guest Paul]

This is my dog Stella...

I'm surprised more people don't name their kids after drinks... Stella, Bella, Lambrini, Lambrusco, etc.

"Champaigne" is a nice name for a little girl. When she grows up and has a daughter of her own she could call her "Babycham".

My neighbours cat was called BJ.......I think they were a bit weird.

[Mandy]

We used to have two fish called Marvin and Tammy but they both died on the same day We now just have one called Silly Billy (don't ask me why - the 5 year old named him), we also have a hamster called Skippy ... little lad wanted a kangaroo so we compromised

[Supercorsa]

To enable me to attend the Derby Alldayer last year, I had to agree to the family getting a dog!

Meet Paddy (old pic from last year)....

[mark ellis]

A friend of mine (Daz Parker) who was on the Soul Scene at the time, was faced with a choice. Washing machine/Staffordshire Bull Terrier?

He wisely chose the latter option but didn't get it all his own way & had to compromise by calling the beast Hotpoint.

My new dog we called Stella too!!, (border collie ,aussie Kelpie cross) ... When we rescued her from the pound as a pup her name was Dusty and her sisters and brother were all named after 60,s singers, Marvin, Martha, Aretha ...etc how could i resist, but my wife not being into soul that much insisted we changed Dusty,s name so hence Stella
