10 Illinois Inspired Pet Names You Will Want To Steal

Once you adopt a new pet for your family, then comes the hard part, coming up with a good name but don't worry I've got some ideas for you.

Owning A Pet Is A Great Idea For People In Illinois

I'm a big supporter of families owning a pet. They truly become a member of your family. I've had pets since I was a little kid. We had three different dogs and some fish when I was growing up. At our house now, for my daughter, we've had four cats, a hamster, and a goldfish. It's all been a great experience. I highly recommend it.

The Most Important Part Of Pet Ownership In Illinois

Of course, it's vital to take care of your animals properly. I think that goes without saying. In reality, the most important thing is giving your pets a good name. It should be something cool and creative. You don't want to be embarrassed to tell your friends what you decided to call your little buddies. I've had a dog named Bear (Chicago Bears), and cats named Ozzy (Ozzy Osbourne), a black one named Sabbath (Black Sabbath), and Payton (Walter Payton).
