Pet Peeves (Snippets and Diatribes)
In loving memory of my sweet Cha Cha.
Quote your car, not your dog!
When I talk about my car, I might wink when I call her “Nelly Belle.” The wink means:
“Hey, I am not crazy – I am aware it’s only a car! Let’s just agree to pretend that it has a name, okay?”
Putting quotation marks around a pet’s name says:
“Let’s pretend that a dog should actually have a name, okay?” (wink wink).
