    Buster -- I always called him Buster Button and it stuck.

    Rocky -- we got him in a town named Rocker, so it's Rocky.

    Jenny -- my mom named her after my grandmother, Geneva..they spell it
    G-e-n-n-y, but I spell it J-e-n-n-y, because it looks better.

    and Ginger -- my mom inherited her from my grandmother (my mom's mom, Geneva) when my grandmother passed away in 2003. My grandmother named her Ginger, because of her color.
    Krista- owned by Rudy, Dixie, Miagi & Angel

    Rocky, Jenny, Ginger Buster & Tiger .. forever loved & always in my heart..

    We got Sassy from the movie Homeward Bound. My dad really named her since he thought Malteses were "for super star" dogs back then . Sassy just stuck.

    Credit Approved "Visa" - When Visa was a puppy, her and her littermates became exposed to another puppy's vaccine reaction and developed parvo. The breeder spent $2000 keeping the litter alive. Some of the puppies died, but Visa and her brother and sister, Amex and Cash, both survived. Visa literally owes her life to a Visa card.
    I've been BOO'd!

    Roxy--Well she had her name from the shelter, and it fit her, so it stuck!
    TigerLily Princess "Lily"-TigerLily from Peter Pan. Wanted her to share the name of a Peter Pan character in memory of Tink. Couldn't think of her middle name, and my mom suggested Princess, so Tigerlily Princess, it is! Lily for short .

    Teddy - was named because he is big and fluffy like a Teddy bear. Besides that all the kids in the house were young and who wouldn't want a dog named Teddy? LOL.

    Nova - She got her name because she is yellow and Nova means star. It just seemed to suit her.

    Konner - My sister named him Connor when she owned him (same name, different spelling) and when I got him I hated the name. I had him for awhile and considered changing it but eventually decided to leave it. On his first birthday (December 14) I wanted to do something really special to celebrate. Might sound stupid but I changed the spelling of his name from Connor to Konner. I bought him and ID tag with that spelling and it made me feel like he was 100% totally mine, name and all.

    Tango: To make a very long story short, I'd always wanted a Toller named Tango so that's how she got her name.

    Tia: Not really sure, my mom named her. I don't think there was a reason for it, it just suited her.

    Winston and Morgan came with their names.

    Ripley - 5 1/2yr old Doberman
    Dance RN CGN FM - 7 1/2yr old Toller

    Payson - There is a city in Arizona named Payson. We liked the way it sounded and it seemed to fit him.
