Thank you for the explaining your dogs names, Lisa, you have such an
imagination, I just go the easy route and choose people names, although my first
Bernese we called Pharoah for some reason. We adopted a 9 year old Pyr who was
called Challenger, we thought it an odd name at the time but we shortened it to
Challi, he was definitely not a challenge he was a sweet boy. Our
other Bernese was Gus, adopted adult Golden Abby, female Bernese Chloe,
adopted adult Golden Jake. our now Pyr Toby and Golden Hannah.:o) I would love
to see photos, thank you. The reason my guys are eating ice is because we are
surrounded by it here in Nova Scotia, Canada Brrr!!!

yours are eating coconuts and quacamole mine are munching
on ice, whats wrong with this picture? I am always interested in the names
that people give their animals and Jelly Sammich got my attention but also
where did a name like TrixieSueFrances come from?
Thanks for your message, Jo!
Coincidentally, mine also love ice and have two buckets of cubes
downstairs ready
for our visit to the dogpark this afternoon. I am constantly
begging ice from restaurants and places where I frequent that have the
machines I also freeze stainless buckets 1/2 full so I always have it
available if I am unsuccessful in my treking through Palm Beach County.
I am a rescue and my best goal is to have the adopting owners name their
own dogs when the bring them into their lives. When I got three Pyr
puppies last June from ACC I named them Tide, Wisk, and Cheer (my life became
ALL about laundry). Tide was adopted by a horse farm in Winter Park and
is now known as Argus. Cheer became Chubby and then Cubbie and he is
staying here. Wisk has always been a Trixie from the first 30
seconds I laid eyes on her - she is full of the devil and the only
girl. I wanted her name to be Souffle (very French) and somehow she
became TrixieSou...then the first Hurricane "Frances" wherein she ran out of
the gate and I was literally running on hundreds of grapefruits trying to
catch her - thus, TrixieSueFrances. Many people ask if she was named
after the saint and I reply she is no saint - she was named after a
hurricane!
Jelly was a Newfie I met at a dogpark in Wellington a few years ago
and I loved the name because you cannot say it without smiling. I
rescued what I was told was a Beardie (turned into a Tibetan Terrier)
from ACC last April and decided to name him Jelly (or JellyMan).
He is usually sandwiched between the two remaining Pyr pups who act like
slices of white bread so he is the Jelly in the Pyr sammich. Taffy was
thought to be a Pyr that turned out to be a Kuvasz and had been hit by a car
and taken to ACC. She had a broken hip, two breaks to the pelvis, and
her femur was in six pieces - she had three huge surgeries and was on a
morphine patch for almost a month. During that time she became very
attached "stuck" to me and so she became my sticky, chewy Taffy.
From my recent tames, Taffy, Jelly, and Souffle; one may think that
I have been hungry the past year...
Thanks for asking and helping me to remember how special these wonders
are!
If you would like to see a picture I can e-mail it to you directly!
