Odyssey Pets

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

    Kitty (Connie's dog)
    Stay (Chris's dog)
    Boswell (cat)
    Kerplunk (fish)
    Rachel, Leah, and Little Joe (Tom's horses)
    Crackers (Mandy's fish)
    Samson (goat)
    Winona (chimp)
    Dr. What (owl)
    Luthor (mouse)

Stay... is that from one of the withdrawn episodes then?

It's from A Prisoner for Christ--in the opening Chris is writing a letter to her parents saying she named her dog Stay, so the poor dog is confused every time she calls him "Come here, Stay."

Would Lester's "imaginary dog", Ralph, count?

:D

-- Wed Apr 20, 2011 9:49 am --

And there's all of the Parkers' pets that died:
Spanky (fish)
Lester (fish)
White-Out (bunny)

I can't think of the rest


And Suzy (Camilla's friend) has a dog named Spots

I guess so. Maybe we could list him as deceased.

I think this is a current list, which is why none of the dead pets are included. Obviously, if Dr. What was on there, then Dexter would've been if ALL pets were included. And Normal's already the first on the list.

Pet Name - Type of Animal - Owner - Episode Mentioned in
  • Ferguson - Cat - Originally Karen's; willed to Robyn - Various
  • Gus - Elephant - Mulligans - Viva La Difference
  • Chester - Kangaroo - Mulligans - In All Things Give Thanks
  • Unnamed - Dog - Wooton - The Popsicle Kid
  • Unnamed - Dog - Wooton - :-k The Popsicle Kid?
  • Roscoe - Dog - Cody - Best Face Forward
  • Fluffy - Cat - Mandy - Sunset Bowlawater
  • Unnamed - Snake (at least there's one, Mrs. Jason Whittaker ;) ) - David (Strausberg) - Sunset Bowlawater
  • Cat - Cat - Mrs. Randolph - For the Fun of It
  • Fish - Fish - Mrs. Randolph - For the Fun of It
  • Dog - Dog - Mrs. Randolph - For the Fun of It
  • Horse - Dog - Mrs. Randolph - For the Fun of It
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I know the Mulligan's had more animals (ostriches, cows...?) but, I can't think of any others that were named. Also, do they really count? I mean, they're zoo animals; they aren't really pets.

Speaking of the Mulligans, in In All Things Give Thanks, Jessica has a cockroach and, sub-sequentially, reptile collection. Do those count?

I think most of the animals on the list could be safely assumed to be dead. Kitty, for example, was mentioned in Promises, Promises, which was episode #4 in 1987. I don't think most dogs live for 25 years. :anxious:

But, if there's going to be a separate list for definitely-dead pets, Bingo (Trent's Beagle who was ran over by a truck- mentioned in The Invisible Dog) can be added. :)

...actually, I guess that smiley should be :(

You guys are awesome!! I can always count on you. I now have a good list of Odyssey pet names.

I had forgotten about Fish, Cat, Dog, and Horse. Those are great pet names.

I counted all the Mulligan pets because they named them and treated them like pets, so that's good enough for me. And, yes, I meant to include all pets, living and dead. Thanks for filling in the ones I had missed.

I didn't realize there was a pet snake in Odyssey. What a great choice for a pet. I will now have to listen to that episode again.

Jared had a dog too, that was alive during Best Face Forward. Or was that Bingo? Gahh, annoying Odyssey timeline.

That was Cody, though I don't remember which episode at the moment.

That means you shouldn't count the animals from the start of the show, since chances are they've died in the 20+ years between then and now. :-$

I think Jared said something like "If he's anything like my dog, he'll be in the next county by now." I'm not sure exactly what he says, it's been a while since I've heard that episode.

I wasn't saying not to include pets from the beginning, just why some ones that we know to be dead weren't on there, like Dexter.
