I don't get to name most of my dogs. They all tend to arrive here with names and usually they know them so I don't change them.

Most mushers give their litters theme names. My Sundin comes from a litter all named after Toronto Maple Leaf players. Pingo's litter was all named after Yukon geological features. Paxil's litter is all named after anti-depressants! Sleet are all some form of weather.

Stuart likes First Nations names--Muskwa and Heyoka are dogs he named. I named Earle after my other obsession, Steve Earle!

Deuce arrived here named Bandit, but I already had a Bandit. Calling him Two just didn't work so he became Deuce!

When I was a kid, my Mom had a little terrier named Babes! My Dad always refused to call her if there was anyone around....picture a very tall man wandering around calling "Come here Babes!"...ROFL!!
