whats in a name?
Seriously ...
I was thinking about what Tpin said about not liking the name Rocco or Rocky for his possible new dog and I get it..
We thought long and hard before naming Murphy ..Murphy.
We thought about the traditional stabij type names such as Bram Gijs Thijs ect and we tried a few unpronouceable Irish ones but it came down to Murphy which is the name of the building OH was born in..
Murphy has a load of doggy friends but two stand out because of their names, theres Elmo and Mr Jingles.
Cute?
well OH nearly dropped dead from fight when he first met Elmo one dark morning in the woods because Elmo is a huge Rottwieler with the personality of a teddy bear but coming face to face with him like that is scarey. His owner says she picked the name Elmo because she didnt want the breed predudice to colour peoples judgement of him.
Mr Jingles is sweet too hes a cross staff/mastiff and the size of a small horse which is slightly scarey when he comes galloping over..
He could swallow most other dogs without needing to chew but he is all about play and they named him after the mouse in the green mile.
We wave and Murohy plays if he sees his freinds but I wonder if we would have been so open if we had been greeted by a Rex or Rambo , Tyson or Thor?
What do you think..whats in a name?
