What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

PetBoogaloo is the name of our business. My husband has a knack for naming things. Our other business is called SnapMonkey.

My husband is a school teacher, and each year he as 140 new kids. By the second day, he knows everyone's first name and last name, through some kind of a name game that he does.

He says that if you name things, and put words together that normally don't belong together, the brain has to create a new image ( a new path ), which helps the memory process.

Thus, we have 2 businesses. PetBoogaloo and SnapMonkey. :-)
