This was my opinion, too. It’s not that this was especially significant, just a little detail that shows an unwillingness or an inability to form lasting attachments.Zain A Blade wrote: ↑08 Jun 2018, 15:23 Who doesn't name his pets? Only a guy unwilling to form any meaningful attachments. I think it's a typical trait among people who join the circus, it's an artificial life that ensures no meaningful or permanent attachments are formed.

I wouldn’t say this was a significnt detail, but I think it is a detail that casts some light on Duke's internal workings. When working with kids with a trauma background, I’ve found that many times they have difficulty forming attachments to people, animals, or things. That often displays itself with an unwillingness to name pets or stuffed animals or dolls since naming something can be a very personal action.

Naming a pet can be harder than it seems. You sometimes have to take in the personality and gender. At least two of the feral kittens that live near us need to be renamed. One I swore was a boy - orange tabby and looked like it needed to be neutered - and all of a sudden I found her nursing new born kittens. Tiny Tim became Tiny Timba. Then one of the three month old tabbies is looking much larger than the littermates so Ivy might become Ivan.
