Hi Epit

Strange request - LOL. Have you got a baby zoo to baptize?

Well, I have a she dog, Martina, my beloved lab was Carocha ( cockroach ) and I have a cat Lynce - those wild cats that live ( or no longer live ) between Portugal and Galizia
Once I had a golden fish - its name was CAN CAn ( Yes, Moulin Rouge, he swam at light speed when he heard ( ???? did he hear ) the music, I had a turtle, , very slow, so I took the name from the most loved cartoonist, Kino, the Argentinian creator of MAfalda, the best cartoon ever thought - the turtle was Burocracy.
A friend has a "horrible " , little, disgusting thing, similar toa dog - name, Floppy , surname Disk.

I had a Atila ( which turned out to be a very wild dog, indeed,  I had a Zorba, who would wave his tal as listening to Zorba theme ( amazing ) I had a sausage , do you know what it is ? , a basset, name Kayak, because he would move in a very slow and looooonnnng way, looking like what I thought , at the time, would be a kayak moving in calm waters. I also had a Snoopy ( very creative ) and a friend had a charming brown dog named Cocoa.

I had two Bells - Portuguese dogs from Serra da Estrela - don �t ask why, some cartoons on TV and my children wanted that name.

Birds ? Ok, let �s go - I had some perroquets many years ago - one was Greenish, ( because it was , guess, yes, not red, green - a female was very British , her name was Kate, even before the Prince was born or met Kate, the future Queen.
I also had an ugly, HUGE, BLACK cat ( very good for halloween parties ), its name was Quintela, a famous teacher, in the university, who, obviously, I loved so much, that I gave his name to the tramp cat.

My very first dog was a kind of a lawyer . his name was   LEX ( Law, in latin )

I had a wonderfull dove - Branquinha, cause she was white, I would call her name and she would answer , fly and land on me. In the evening, she would fly home to sleep - she was a very respectful dove, she wouldn�t sleep out.
I had a toad-name Peter pan, my dog Martina would follow his shadow on the walls, but never managed to find the toad

Rabbits, had one, once, don�t want to talk about the poor one - he would have been luckier anywhere else, the poor one.

Well, I �ve done my part, please, don �t invite me to be the godmother - ( joking )

Hugs and good luck with your zoo.

Have a nice week
Linda

dog -  spike (mean looking dogs - pitbulls, rotweiler , bulldog etc)
         prince/princess (royal looking dogs - spaniels, setters , terriers )  
          rex  (playful/working dogs - labradors , beagals , sheepdogs )
          lord fontelroy can do it - ( british favorite - grayhounds.) **the more wacky the better
turtle - speedy ??
cat - tigger / tom / kity
bird - polly the parrot
rabbit - fluffy , hoppy
 
hope these might help.
