Oh well, that too. That's what the breeder had named him! So I guess he has two first names!

We called Major "Shadow" at first, which I really didn't like that much for him. The people we got him from called him "Snoopy" which I think really fits him ahah. But he's Major, which is best.

Tango was Flash

Star and Wilbur were the names we adopted them with. We thought briefly about changing Star to Wiley ('cause she's my little Coyote!) but she already responded to Star and I like that name better. Wilbur just....fits.

He was named after the piggie in Charlotte's web by the rescue, his sister was Charlotte.

Most of them I don't know what their names were, I just kept their shelter names but:

Earle's name was Flower. During the time he was with his momma dog, he ate absolutely every speck of color in her owner's yard. He had a particular fondness for flowers. He still enjoys a good snack of wildflowers.

Heyoka's shelter name was Nanook, which durn near every rescue malamute I've ever met has been called at some point in their life!

Deuce's name was Bandit. I already had a Bandit so that was just confusing!

Kayleigh's name was Cowley. I hated it, still hate it, despite the fact that it's actually the name of a lovely little creek near my house.

Muskwa's name for the first five months of his life was "HEY YOU NO"...Stuart couldn't decide on a name!

Daisy's name was Tulip, but her owner likes Daisies better!

Molly and Astra didn't have any names as we got them when they were puppies.

Prince on the other hand was originally named Taco Bell by his 'owner'. We changed it to Prince because we had a neighbor with two chihuahuas named King and Queen so being the third Chi on the block, we called him Prince.

We named Fritz after Mom saw a story in the paper with that name.The name on his Canadian Kennel Club papers is Als Junior Macklin.

I named tikeya at 6 weeks.. it has always been her name.

I think Oscar was named Panda by his breeders.

Babys original name was Roxy.

Ebonys name has always been Ebony.. Named after her mom, who died in a fire trying to save a girl..

Daisy has always been Daisy..
