Naming this puppy was by far harder than naming our children.....go figure. Todd was named while Larry & I were still dating. Ty was named in the hospital the day after he was born. Serina was named before we got her (good thing - could we have ever come up with a girl's name????). Trent was named while in the hospital by the second day. Jacob named himself when he was six days old - long story, maybe you've heard it??? Anyway, back to the pup, we tried out lots of names including: Peaches, Patches, Princess, LT for Little Trouble, Arizona (AZ for short), Hoover or Kirby because she sucks up her food like a vacuum cleaner, and others I can't remember. None of them seemed to work for both Larry & I. Then came her name - no input from Larry as I ended up being the one taking 99.9% care of her even though it was Larry's idea to get a puppy. No wonder - he knew his share of the deal was only .01% of the care. So I decided I should have 99.9% input on her name! Anyway, I was visualizing what she would look like as an adult dog and the name that really seemed to fit was ....... Duchess! Now don't you think that goes well with Lady? Thanks for all the suggestions we received! Here are some new pictures of Duchess and Lady:
Duchess has found out how to get on the bed so Lady has no where to hide now. She has her calm moments more now than ever before! Duchess is almost three months old and weighs about 15 lbs. She should be about 40 lbs when fully grown. The way she would like to eat would put her at twice that weight!
