Now that is just low...funny...but low. Actually, I am getting back into the cattle business with my father and a friend of mine. We have a cow that will be dropping a calf next month. My friend said he wants to name if after his wife. I asked him if he had disscussed this with her, he said yea she doesn't care. I asked her about it and her answer was a bit ... different. I always tell him he should think things over a bit before jumping in, it don't do no good.

Grizz;
I just read your post and it reminded me of how our German Sheperd was named and the uproar it caused with my In-Laws.
My wife and I were originally to be married on 20 June 2002, but because of a lot of bickering between the In-Laws as to who would pay for what etc. etc. we postponed and eventually eloped.
Anyway on the date we were to be walking down the aisle, my wife and I were walking around the local mall instead. It was during this walk that we saw a display for the local animal rescue with a cute 9 week old female German Sheperd puppy. Well we all know once you see it you have to have it (Works the same with model kits and pups for me). We immediately signed up to adopt the pup but were told that someone had beat us to the adoption. Well, my wife definitely wanted a puppy so we went home and looked through the papers and found an ad for Sheperd pups. So after an hour long car ride we came to the most run down shack of a house. Needless to say I wasn't going to let the pup stay another minute in that dump. So as we were homeward bound we began to discuss names, and I suggested because of the date we should name her Mary my wife agreed and thought it was more than fitting.
It wasn't until afterwards that we realized (actually a relative pointed out) my mother-in-law's name is Mary.......ooops! So we explained when my in-laws arrived that the spelling was M-A-R-R-Y.
We eloped and married in Guysborough, Nova Scotia on the ocean front a short time later. The dog was given a pedigree name so as not to be confused with my mother in law ever again. Mary Alexander Keith's after Nova Scotia's gift to the world Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale.
Long story short.... always think before you name something.
Cheers;
