Changing a pup's name should be easy. A such a young age they respond more to your voice than a name. Cindy was named Cuddles when we got her at age 3 months. C'mon....Cuddles? yeah right. The register is to document the lineage, and the pup will never be able to read that.
Now, changing boat's name involves having a qualified skipper and chaplain to invoke the god Neptune to pardon us for doing what we are doing and resting the boat's name forever. Then, re-christening said boat with the proper bottle of spirits awakens the boat and is forever (sometimes) blessed by Neptune, etc. Kind of like being re-born. Not doing that means you'll never catch fish, never win a sailboat race, never have a girlfriend suddenly desire to skinny dip off the boat, you name it. |
