my cousin used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and one of the things they'd do is have you "foster" an animal to get 'em used to living in a house with other pets and whatnot.
well, that was the theory, she wound up adopting a bunch of them
but people would always ask what breed these dogs were, and, you know, these are shelter dogs, so we'd make up names like "Royal Toy Short-Nosed Pinkenblanket" and you could usually get a stranger pretending they'd heard of it.
@BestGirlGrace @fluxom_alt henlo yes may I get in on this?
@Breakfast Lay it on me.
@BestGirlGrace my weird electric stingray shark hybrid thingy
@Breakfast You mean like "Dr. Swimzaps" or like "Carczapodon Electragon"
@BestGirlGrace @Breakfast make the scientific name dr swimzaps as a flex
@BestGirlGrace @Breakfast if i was a species i would do this and also slightly change the name every once in a while to annoy everyone
