My first dog ever was bought for me back in the 70s and his name was Teeny Bopper Jim, we called him Teeny. He was a toy fox terrier. The whole family helped with the name. I kept saying I wanted to have a teeeeeeny tiny dog and everyone laughed at the way I said it, so Teeny stuck. My sisters added Bopper for 'teeny bopper' and my dad's name is Jim. Teeny Bopper Jim. My next dog is Holly. A fiesty little terrier mix. My husband and I found her at a no kill shelter. I had a list of names that I liked for dogs and thought I would just choose among them based on the dog. Holly was found wondering the streets so they did not know her name. They gave her a temporary name I think because it seems easier to relate to a dog with a name. We could have changed the name. But everyone at the shelter loved her and called her Holly as we brought her out to play. By the time we played for an hour or so and kept hearing her called that it just seemed to fit. She was a Christmas present for me and we decided that Holly was a nice holiday name. Two years later we wanted another dog. Holly needed a playmate. I did not have any names in my mind this time. I would let circumstances predict the name as last time. It was our intension to get a small dog, definitely smaller than Holly so that she would always feeling like the alpha dog so to speak. Well, Mocha chose me!!!!! She was about 10 pounds bigger than Holly and not at all what I had in mind. But she was the sweetest dog I had ever experienced in my life. She came out of the crate and into my arms as if to say, I have been waiting for you to get here. She already had a name that she was being called as well. Would you believe, it was Molly? That would never work!!!! She is black, a sheltie mix and has this beautiful ring of color around her neck and on her paws just exactly the color of cocoa. My favorite coffee house/Starbucks drink at the time was a Mocha latte. Mocha it was! My husband didn't like it at the time but it grew on him quickly and she is such a little Mocha now. She is still the sweetest dog I have ever experienced. Holly is my first child and very much the dearest thing to my heart, but their is something oh so special about Mocha.

Isn't it funny how we give our pets nicknames to go with their regular names? :) I've had many, my angel dog named Missy, hers was Moochie Girl (self explanatory), Buckwheat the cat was Buckie Buddy, Old Yellow the cat, he is Old Buddy, Yellow kitty & Old Yeller & his heaviness (looks like Garfield), I had one years ago named Tillie, after Atilla the Hunn (sp), I love your discussion :)
