Remember, The Simpsons' Pets Have Names!

Google+ post from April 24, 2014

You know what really grinds my gears? How the Simpsons rarely refer to their pets (Santa's Little Helper and Snowball II) by their respective names. They're mostly referred to as ''the dog'', ''the cat'', and in the case of Santa's Little Helper, ''boy''. They're making some unfamiliar viewers think the pets are nameless! Hey, Homer! ''Santa's Little Helper'' is not that much of a mouthful to say!
