Calling Them by Name – What Do Montana Pet Owners Use?
Naming your pet is a big deal. My wife and I have labored over naming our last 2 dogs for days before finally deciding on one. And even then, there are times that they don't necessarily get called by their "given name".
And I don't mean because they have perhaps been naughty or need scolding. Nope. Just made-up names that are suddenly common coming out of my mouth. Even crazier than some of the names we use in our house is our pets actually respond to them.

"Vander" may be his given name, but he is affectionately known as "Butthead" or "The Butthead", depending on his mood.
