Obi is a great name. And yeah, it seems to suit a JRT much better than Marley.

I love the New Orleans reference. But I also think Nola looks like a Nola.

And I confess when I read your blog, I start humming to myself, “Whatever Nola wants, Nola gets…” Yeah, I know. It’s weird. And considerably older than the Goo Goo Dolls. 🙂

That post came out right before we came home with Honey and named our blog. I guess great minds think alike. 🙂

Some kennels are probably so small the last name does fine.

I love both your pup’s full names. Sharp Dressed Man certainly fits Jimmy. Though Greased Lightning would also work given his agility performances.

And the Castaway/Wilson reference is cute. Not sure what his breeders were thinking when they came up with Caduceus. Was it for their snake-like tails? Or because as barky pups they’re good messengers?

Bwa ha ha. Yeah, kids come up with interesting names.

I named my first dog (a male, wolf hybrid) Duchess. Why? Because I had just seen the Disney movie The Aristocats and that was the mama cat’s name.

I think Emma definitely suits you. I can’t imagine meeting you and calling you Debucher Baguette. 🙂

Please promise me you’ll share a kitty picture–on my FB page or email me. I’m seriously tempted to get a boat kitty to keep Honey company and one cute pic might send me over the edge.

I would definitely hire you for chief dog namer if I was president of the world.

I’ve always loved your penchant for goddesses. And I never thought of Ruby as a common name given your link to the Rubicon. Very clever.
