No our little girls name is Caoimhe it’s an Irish name. My husband is Irish so we looked for an Irish name for our English dog.

Harry Winston- Jeweler to the stars but we spell it HAIRY! just to be funny.

Prince Lorenzo of Borghese- He was the Prince that was on the Bachelor and also owns Royal Treatment Pet products.

Yes he is hot!

How do you pronounce "Caoimhe'? We are Irish too. Too many Riley's around, so I named him with a "G" name like my skin kid. Donna

Lucy was named after a character in Patricia Cornwell's books about DR. Kay Scarpetta, Lucy is her (strong, sassy, take no BS) niece.

Max is named after the Grinch's dog, Max.

Where do I begin...well Shiloh is named after the children's book, Patty is named after Peppermint Patty from Charlie Brown, Carly is named after Carly Simon and of course Tinkerbell is a gimme...the puppies have temporary names we call them for now...Ozzy for Ozzie Osborne, Merlin as in magician, Flash for Flash Gordon, Hailey for Hailey's Comet and last but not least Rowdy is named after Rowdy Roddy Piper, the wrestler..all of our Yorkies were named after someone or something famous...not very original I know, but they fit their names, so it all worked out in the long run

Rocky is a combo for Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and Rocky the Flying Squirrel (when he flies from one chair to another in the living room)!

He likes to stand on his hind legs and sort of "box" with his paws, especially when I have just come home and he is wanting instant attention. That is where we actually started with the name Rocky. Then his flying escapades cinched it! Wondering if we will have a Bullwinkle in the future.....maybe not!.
