I had Crazy Cresties Website, my mother had River City Reptiles. Sometimes I answered emails for her when she was at work, sometimes she answered emails for me when I was at work. She was on swing and I was on days so it was a great effort. A transaction was either through her or through me, not the both of us. Our animals and funds were seperate. It wasnt fair to either of us when the 2 bad guy threads got put up with both our names on it. One didnt have to do with the other. Can you imagine if your kid sold online and you got nailed if he screwed up or vise versa.
My mother and I separated our business into two 100% and I stopped answering emails for her and her for me, customers had to wait the 8 hour shifts to get replies.
She still has river city and does her own dragon thing.
My freewebs site crazy cresties expired when I was away for 2 years. I was unable to get it back. I picked a new name Redrum Reptiles, but when I opened the store the word Redrum was trademarked in full. Even adding Reptiles to it didnt seem like a sensible legal option. I picked Reptile Addictions for the store and dumped Redrum. I still breed cresties too, but sell them instore or in classifieds. I no longer have a site dedicated to them.
So I am the one who has had 3 names not her. 1 for 5 years. 1 for 3 months. This one for 2 years. It is my legal tradename now.
Wendy Childs has ALWAYS been the legal name attached to each
And has always been my name to the left here .
So now I have a permanent tradename
