I named Justin after a little boy that lived close to me. They were both hyper active. Mama started out as my sister's dog, called Spooky. However, my sister didn't seem to understand that you had to feed dogs to keep them alive, so "Spooky" became mine. (Daddy's word is law.) I hated the name, so I changed it to Brown Bay. Brown is the color of her eyes, and Bay from the way that she barked. A couple of years later, she had puppies, and we just started calling her Mama. It stuck.
Dixie Belle was a little harder to name. We had talked about different names, but still had not decided. After we picked her up, we started again. My husband liked Dixie. I liked Belle, so we put them together.
