| FlDebra | 06-18-2009 12:41 PM | Now Presenting: Rocky Blue! 1 Attachment(s) We have had such a hard time naming our "last of the litter" pup. I think I procrastinated in case we wound up selling him and once we decided to for sure keep him, we could not decide between Cooper and Beamer. We were trying to stay with this car theme we started with "Mercede's Ben" and Ben's Mercedes." But we finally figured why we could not choose. Neither name (as much as we liked them both) really suited this little guy.
He is the largest of the litter, although still on the small side, and has no trouble keeping up with my adult male Ben, or the female Jack Russell, Candy. They run through the house 90 mile an hour and have a ball fighting over toys. Finally Ben has some competition around here. Maybe all the toys really don't belong to Ben. LOL! :)
Anyway my son said he is more like a Rocky --as in Sylvester Stallone. And that just clicked for both of us. He is a little fighter. Then he started jumping from one chair to the next in the living room and it looks like he is flying as he splays his arms out in front of him and his back legs behind, just like a little Rocky the Squirrel! (For the younger set -- there was a cartoon from days past Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, a squirrel and moose -- really :) ) So, our little guy finally has a name other than the color of his newborn yarn ID collar. So, Rocky Blue it is! |
