Well, Dakota's original name was Voyager because when we were driving down to get him, we were following a Voyager van. Well, after a few weeks, we decided Voyager would be hard for the baby to pronounce, so we changed it to Dakota after the Dodge Dakota (I always liked that truck.).

Patience got her name because she was a stray that came with a lot of "baggage" and required a lot of work and patience in the beginning. It has definitely been worth it though. I was actually thinking of changing her name to Treasure because of the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure". She was an idiot's throw away but she's definitely a treasure to me.

Kilo, our RB dog, was named when we got him. When we got him, I asked them if they would accept a check and who to make the check out to. When she said her last name was Rickabaugh, I about died. Rickabaugh is well known for their drug use and here is their dog named Kilo. I asked my husband when we got into the car if we should run right to the Vet's office to have him x-rayed to see if he had any baggies in him. Since we had Kilo to work with when thinking of a papered name, we named him Kilometer of Playfulness.
