For months, the Caskeys had been considering renaming their Goldendoodle if Harper signed with the Phillies.

The Goldendoodle formerly known as Harper. By Scott Allen Scott Allen Reporter covering D.C. pro and local college sports Email Bio Follow March 1 at 1:30 PM Marlene Koenig broke the news to her four-year-old orange tabby on Thursday evening: Bryce Harper, the former Nationals player for whom the feline was named, had signed a 13-year contract with the rival Phillies.

“I was an English major and a librarian, so this works fine,” she said. “In reality, I can’t imagine many people are going to change the names of their pets."— Marlene Koenig 🇺🇸 February 28, 2019 While some fans may have grappled with that decision in the wake of Harper’s departure, at least one Nationals-loving family didn’t waste any time taking the plunge with their five-year-old Goldendoodle named after the 2015 National League MVP.

Harper isn’t the Caskeys’ first family pet named after a Nationals player. Taylor and her younger brother, Ryan, had a turtle named after former Nationals slugger Adam Dunn and a hamster named after Daniel Murphy. The hamster didn’t live long enough to see Murphy get traded to the Cubs, which was probably for the better.
