This is such a neat thread! You were all very creative in naming your little dogs!
Paisley got her name just because I liked it. I had the name picked out for a few weeks before I ever got a puppy. I was actually looking at an English Springer Spaniel puppy but decided to get a smaller breed... which led me to looking at Cocker Spaniels, then Maltese and then Yorkies!
I love all dogs... so it was hard to decide. I'm very happy with my little Yorkie baby Paisley and so glad I chose her!
My Dachshund's name is Riley.. not sure why, just liked the name i guess.
My daughter Michelle's Chihuahua, who still lives here with me since daughter works everyday, is named Tedo (pronounced Tito) She was 8 years old when she got him and that's the way she wanted to spell it! Tedo will be 14 years old in Feb.
Lil Bit is our Basset Hound. My daughter Megan brought him home. She had dated a guy who owned his sire.. Drill Bit. This guy and his Dad owned a Oil drilling company and so that's where the name Drill Bit came from. This guy bred Drill Bit to a friend's dog and got a puppy back. He named him LiL Bit. When Lil Bit was about 4 months old, his owner got called to the Middle East for military duty and his folks agreed to take Drill Bit but since they're elderly and already had their own dog, they said he would have to find the pup (Lil bit) a home. He wasn't having any luck finding a home and had decided he might have to send Lil Bit to a shelter. He then called my daughter and she went and got Lil Bit ... and he's our's now!
We have a Norwegian Elkhound named Trixie. My husband has had two other N. Elkhounds named that... the first one was the dog he had as a child.
My husband's beagle is named Bullet. ...he's a rabbit dog. He's very old now but he was one of the best rabbit dogs in this part of the country! My husband has been offered as much as $3000 for him and turned it down.
Bullet has taught many pups to run rabbits! |
