Ok so it is just an add for the "Top Dog" (vote for the cutest dog weekly). But there they are. I decided to enter them to see if they would post it. How cool is it that? Right on the front page.

If you could please take a second and vote. I am pretty sure there is nothing to win but It would be nice to have some winners in the backyard. HA!

As for the name...
I have a rule with naming things. If they don't respond to a name they don't get one.
Torts = no
Dogs = Yes
Fish = no
Cats = sometimes

I agree about the names. I call mine The Bigger One and The Smaller One...and Laura from Sacramento shortened that to Bo and So!! Your guys are really looking good. Growing fast and pretty smooth.

Thanks a bunch.

I was just outside sitting with them in the sun after a day of nothing but rain.

Thanks for voting

But we are still losing to a dog. Come on. We can do it.

Names. No matter wahy you call them.. it becomes a name.. Maybe not from the heart.. but a nickname or something. :)
Like the cattle we raised. I refused to get attached to them by naming them. but we had to ID them somehow.. so we called them by their tag #.. but that even became a 'name' of sorts.
And my cats... they KNOW thier names.. they just chose to come when called or not.. :)

Congratulations Chipdog. I think yours were the cutest(sp?) by far anyways. No matter what those people said on the blog. Boy this seemed to upset some especially the name calling. I understood the title "Top Dog" and the definition, though seems some people took it literally
