Pets' Names: How We Choose Them, How We Use Them, and How to Change Them
The Pawsitive Post in Conversation (Episode 5) with Zazie Todd and Kristi Benson talking about about the names we give our pets.
By Zazie Todd PhD
Episode 5 of The Pawsitive Post in Conversation sees Zazie and Kristi talk about the names we give our pets. We chat about how we choose them, what makes a good name, how we use our pets' names, how to change a pet's name, and whether they know their own and each other's names.
As well, we talk about the books the book club is reading right now and our own choices of books we love. (There may be some spoilers in this discussion).
