No, I've never named any pets after any Columbo characters. Sorry, Charlie. (Good topic though!)
No but I had a mother-in-law who was annoying as Columbo could be.
i named our beagle benny, after ben gazzara...since he directed 2 columbo episodes, i think that qualifies. (um..ben gazzara directed the episodes, not benny the beagle )
Cass, We have a beagle too. I call her "Dog" (although I'm the only one in the family that does). I wonder if that counts, since that's what Columbo called his basset. Quid
oh quid! that is adorable! and it DEFINITELY counts! Dog was the bestest on-going character ever on columbo! (aren't beagles fun?...our benny is a bit stubborn and spoiled, but we love him like crazy. )
Yours is stubborn and spoiled? I thought ours was unique!
