Kathy Richardson (kathy_richardson_wa) | 43 comments new to this 2013 (!!) challenge but wanted to play:
Goal: From A - Z use different pet names for each letter of the alphabet. You may use the names of fictitious breeds, as long as they are pets of any character in the novel (it does not have to be a main character).

Lisa Kay has tried to do this as a personal challenge for the last two years and has NOT done it yet. So, she’s given you some extra options.

Hard to Find Letters and “Wild Cards”: Several letters* are hard to find: like “Q,” “U,” “V,” “X,” “Y,”and “Z”. Therefore, you may use these letters within the name.

Also, we will allow three “wild cards”** consisting of two types.
1) You may read a book that has an animal that is of a breed that has the letter you desire ( “V” - Golden Retriever. Shown for “V” in the example below.)

2) You may read a book with a title, author, or character that you have used (or would like to use) to name your pet. (Shown for “Q” in the example below.)
Duration: You set the pace. This one may take you more than a year!

Allegra | 219 comments I'm joining this more for curiosity, as I'm wondering how many of the books I read even have pets.
Here goes:
