What is your pet’s nickname?

It probably isn't the name on their vet records 😹

Scientists say the strange nicknames many people give their pets may be rooted in the same kinds of language patterns used in baby talk, family jokes, and playful speech. Researchers have found that pet names often evolve through rhymes, repeated sounds, puns, and affectionate nonsense words.

Experts say these nicknames can help strengthen social bonds and reflect the increasingly important role pets play in family life. In many cases, the names become part of a household's own private language — even if no one else understands how "Bella" somehow became "Beefy Noodles."

ONE LAST GOODBYE 🖤🥀

This photo shows four young women gathered around their dog that had died, creating a scene of mourning that may seem unusual now.

During the Victorian era, the death of a pet was often treated with the same emotional significance as the loss of a family member.

As photography became more accessible in the late 1800s, people began documenting important moments of life and death.

Whilst post-mortem photography is most often associated with people, pets were also memorialized.

Make sure your pets stay up to date with their rabies vaccinations.

A raccoon tested positive for rabies yesterday after attacking a dog near Biltmore Oaks Drive in Bethlehem on May 26. Please use caution and avoid animals behaving in unusual ways.

The best way to keep your pets safe is to ensure that they're current on rabies vaccination. Rabies can spread to people and pets through a bite or scratch.

If you or your child have been bitten or scratched by any stray animals or an animal suspected of having rabies, preventive treatment for rabies is necessary. If you believe you've been exposed, immediately seek medical care and let them know you were exposed. Then, contact the Gwinnett County Health Department at 770.339.4260 and ask for the epidemiologist on call.

To report the animal and have it picked up, please call the Gwinnett Animal Welfare and Enforcement Bite Office at 770.339.3200 ext. 5576; after hours, contact Dispatch non-emergency at 770.513.5700.
