Do you find it silly when people include their pets' names on letters or cards?
Pets are a part of the family, but sometimes people take it a bit too far.

Pets and greetings cards
Just a bit of harmless fun. I wouldn't do it a bereavement card of course. "Deepest Sympathies from John, Linda and Fluffy."
My cats always sign cards to people they like. And give presents. They don't do it for people who don't appreciate them though.
I had a card from Tigger the neighbourhood cat. Said he'd left a little present in the garden. Showoff.
My close friends with cats and dogs get cards to both them and their pets. My cats 'sign' their cards. Silly? Maybe. Fun? Yes, and it's showing the place in our lives that our pets have.
If I had a dog, I would draw a little paw-print on the card and then write the pet's name underneath it!

lots of people tend to do this
we've always included the dogs names
but then we hardly send cards to anyone
BTW got a card from a friend who had drawn a little cartoon of her cat, Minnie the Minx. It was so cute!
I always sign a card with my pets names on it. Of course I tend to leave off the small pets when I had them. Otherwise it would be a long list of names. But I definately sign off with my dogs name and when I got mycat I added his as well.
