    Pet's name and why...

    A dog named Tango, he was named Tango because he dances on his hind legs.
    -And a fish named Roy, he is named Roy because he is evry color of the rainbow. Roy is short for ROYGBIV (ROYGBIV: the way to remember the colors in order).

    Honey is "Honey" because her mother was "Johnston's Brown Sugar".....and I thought "Honey" was unique and was in keeping with that name. Little did I know that there are many Golden Retrievers named Honey.......and now a precious Chow baby named "Huney" too!! Honey's registered name is "Helen's Sweet Honey". And she really is!!

    Lilly is "Lilly" because we wanted to name her after a flower....and Helen also loved a book called "Lilly and the Purple Plastic Purse". So we combined "Lilly" with "Tiger Lily" and got our Lilly. Lilly's registered name is "Givens Tiger Lilly".

    We love them both so much we are sappy about it.

    At the time I got Duke, my boyfriend had a female shepherd named Duchess so I thought it would be cute to have a Duke in the family as well.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Oreo got her name because she is black and white.
    I named Sara...just something told me she looked like a Sara!
    My dad named my cat, Clairice, whom was a stray that we found and kept. He named her after that lion Clairence(spelling)that was on tv or something.

    Drake is named after Sir Francis Drake, an explorer who is famous for his circumnavigation of the world in the sixteenth century.

    Andrew and I love traveling and exploring new places and we thought Drake was a good name for the furkid. Little did we know that he would live up to his name and is quite the explorer/adventure junkie!

    Logan, I like the names Honey and Lily. I have never heard of a golden retriever that was named Honey, the most popular names that I have heard are Shadow and Duke.

    I think that is the first dog that I have heard that was named after a wine, I think it's cute though.

    I'm actually not to sure how my dogs got their names they both had them when I got them and I thought they were cute names so I didn't bother changing them.

    I think Smudge got his name though because he has some Smudges of white on his chest, and paws...either that or because he's a smudge of this and a smudge of that.

    While Winter got her name because she was born in the winter but she was actually born in the fall but oh well, the name seem to fits her because at times she can be a little cold and distant but like the Alberta weather she has major chinooks that kind of melts her heart.

    man that last line was corny.
    Goonies never say die!



    Thanks Amy for the great sig!

    I dont think that it was corny. I also think that Smudge is a cute name, very unique.

    "Carina" means "little darling" in Italian. That was the first thought that came to my mind when I saw her coming down from the car when my brother brought her from New Jersey. Although not little any longer, she has lived up to her name.
