Witty names 🐶

Visible to anyone in the world

I love reading witty names firms give themselves.

Tonight I came across an ad for dog walkers, "Bark and Stride".

What next? Dog groomers called "Hair of the Dog"? Well that one's been taken. So I'll have to think again.

When living in South Wales my Good Lady Wife and I used to look out for the names of barbers and hairdressers.  They are all really funny and really clever and all seemingly unique.  And there's loads of them - where everywhere else has pound shops or charity shops, South Wales has barbers and hairdressers.  We've not seen anything like these names elsewhere in the UK; yes, there's some half-hearted puns or poor gags elsewhere like Hair Today Gone Tomorrow or Hair Raising but nothing like the South Walean ones.  It seems to be a quirk local to that area.
