Well we chose Riley's name because Riley means like brave. When Riley was a little puppy he was very small (compared to our old basset anyways) and sooo helpless and scared. The name is alaso Irish (so are we) so we really loved it!
TJ's name came about in a different way. TJ took us about a week and a half to name. Nothing seemed to fit at all. I just loved the name Theodore but I didn't want anyone to call him Theo. My mom wanted to call him Junior. We put them together (Theodore Junior) and came out with TJ!!
