First, to those folks who wrote in with all those TAGS names for their
pets - thanks for sharing that - especially Ben from West Virginia. Really
clever and fun to read.
As far as Barney being a WWII veteran - I'm pretty sure during "Quiet Sam"
in Season 1, they talked about serving i
I've named many pets and other animals for TAGS characters over the years.
I don't think it's odd (People sure are odd)it's Therapetic.
Possibly a Compelsion Complex (Listen, you find Compelsion nuts all
over). I dunno...

I was trying to figure in my head if that’s a little nutty or it’s kinda cute.
Then it dawned on me our puppy is named Lucy. But we named her Lucy because our
loved pet Lulu had passed and we wanted to have part of her name in the puppy’s
name. Just the same it is a Mayberry character name.

When I was a sophomore in high school, I had a show pig I named Thelma Lou.
I was only casually familiar with the show back then and probably could not
have identified OUR Thelma Lou in a police lineup, but I thought the name
was so hickish--a far cry (little did I realize) from the very lady-like
On the topic of Opie's pets: in The Rumor, Opie mentions his pet lizard
(explaining that he put it out, so that can't be why Aunt Bee is upset).
Presumably this is the same lizard as is mentioned in The New Housekeeper.
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but apologies if they have
Also Mr Frisby gave his Rooster Beau to Opie. I'll bet Andy made Opie give
it back to him, along with the mustache cup.
There are some un-seen scenes that are so hilarious hearing about, I wonder
if they'd be as fun to watch. However, I'd be willing to see Otis punching
Floyd in the nose.
Thank you Jen and Paul for correcting me on that. I do remember now. Reckon
I should've studied on that a little more fer I spoke.
Thanks again,

I was just thinking the other day why didn't Opie ever have a pet on the
show? We know he loves dogs on the episode of Dogs, dogs, dogs and he had
taken care of winkin,(or was it lincoln) blinkin', and nod, as well as, his
imaginary horse Blackey. I wonder what kind of humorous additive that
Don't forget his bird, Dickie, seen only in the first episode. In that same
episode, he also mentions a dog (Gulliver), a lizard (Oscar), and a white
mouse. In the pilot episode, he had a pet turtle which was murdered (stepped
on) by Mrs. Bolivar at the ice cream parlor.

... why
Kirk,
Opie had a dog named Gulliver and a bird named Dickey in the first episode,
The New Housekeeper. You see the bird in that episode but the only
mention of Gulliver is when Opie is saying his prayers.
H. makes ya wonder where those two pets went and ran off to.

My son and his fiancé called me a month ago and we so excited. They said
Dad, we've got something to tell you. As usual, I expected something bad.
But the went on to tell me they rescued a small cat, and have named it Floyd,
in honor of our cat shaving barber! Makes me proud!
I had a bright orange goldfish named OPIE
he was with us for 10 yrs. he had been swimming crooked like Otis
so I asked my husband to dispose of him.
Our dogs two of the names I fought for and lost was Ellie May and Thelma Lou
We have kate Ally

Hey All
With all this talk about pets being named after characters on the show, I
thought I would add that even I have no pets named after any of them, I did
name my daughter Taylor because of the Taylor's. Everybody thought I was
crazy, but I couldn't help it. I tried to name her after
My Digests are still coming out of order so I must've missed the one about
pets. My beloved minpin is a 6 lb. bundle of joy to me. Her name is Thelma
Lou and I sometimes call her Thel or pretty girl!

We have to Manx kittens that my daughter named Aunt Bee and Thelma Lou. It
was going to be Andy and Barney if they were boys. She also named her Beta
after Ernest T. Bass. She said Ernest T. can't throw rocks inside and aquarium
or he want have anywhere to live. Merry Christmas to everyone!
I have a new parakeet to replace Buddy who lived a long and enjoyable life-
my new one is named Barney - both in honor of great jazz guitarist Barney
Kessel and our own Deputy Bernard P. Fife! When he's acting extra sporty and
hopping from perch to perch I call him Big Barn...

I don't have any pets named after a Mayberry character, but I do have a niece I
nicknamed Otis. When Becky (her real name :) was first learning to walk, I
jokingly said that she walked crooked just like Otis from the Andy Griffith
Show did. She is nearly 18 years old now and I still call her
I had an orange tabby cat, Opie. He joined my household when he was six
weeks old, and he was euthanized last year on October 29, left me after 19
1/2 years. It was quite a change without him, but my outside kitties have
helped immensely, especially Mayberry, my calico with an attitude. :)
