Well Merlin's name does come with a story. I got him at 10 weeks and we were house breaking him in the biggest snow i have ever seen. Being a puppy who had been in a garage , we took him out side every 2 hours so as not to have an acceident. My son(my tactful) said that dog sure whizzes a lot.so he became the wizard. My daughter had just watched disneys King arthur (cartoon) started calling him Merlin . It stuck,so I had to make his AKC reg name sound dignified. So he is Montanas mystical merlin. Named just cuz he pees a lot.
Lady came with her name. Ebony was to be Blackie but I (as always ) said it needed to be more excotic, so Ebony. Plus she was so little and black but huge eyes and the song Ebony eye came on and Ben thought it was "cool"
Winky was named after the kids(5&6at the time) were hooked on Disneys Escape to witch mountain. The cats name was Winky .
