Our first greyhound was named "Lady Mae Paula," and she understood "Paula," so that is what she goes by. Our second greyhound was named "Ron Ott," called "Willey," but didn't understand either name. He was so sweet, and such an instant pal to Paula, that we changed his name to "Buddy." Our spitz mix was 6 months old when we found her, and we didn't think we'd be keeping her. We didn't want to pick a name for her, so we just called her "Puppy." Well, we kept her, and by that time, she was answering to Puppy, which we eventually shortened to "Pup." Our third greyhound was named "Little Chic" but called "Boo." We would have changed the name Boo, because it is so close to No, but we had Boo in first as a foster dog, so we had to keep her name!
