Vanilla came to us as Priscilla. But I know a woman who is an irritating flake named Priscilla, and there was no way I could have a dog named that. So I asked my son to think of a name that sounded like Priscilla. He said, "Ummmm .... Chinchilla?" Ummmmm .... no. LOL So he says, "How about Vanilla." Perfect.
Lucky, Pepper and Georgie came to me with those stupid names, and I just kept them.
Keito and Queenie were unnamed, so we did get to actually choose two names "from scratch."
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
