Puppy Selections Complete!!!

So, today delivered a couple new names and another friendly face. Jerry arrived this morning to get acquainted with the two, so far unselected pups. Watching him as he watched the pups I think he was hoping one would jump out at him and say, "Hey, I'm Yours!". And in watching from a distance I think one did although in all honesty it was pretty close. Both pups sociable, both eager to come with some enticement and follow once engaged. Purple again, a bit more outgoing and most consistently engaged. As a result he received his name and I think everyone on our list is happy with the pup that will officially become theirs in just under a couple weeks. Jerry selected the name Apollo for his boy purple after I convinced him their were already too many Zeus's. I myself have four in previous litters, two of which are in the same litter. I much prefer Apollo. 

When I called to inform Chrissie which boy she could call her own we discussed Jerry's visit and interaction with the two, including what he'd decided for a name. She responded, "funny that (Apollo) was my first choice but I was outvoted by the  kids. She and her kids were quickly able to settle on the name Oakley for their boy in blue as soon as it was tossed on the table for consideration. So Oakley it is... Oak for short. I love the name and informed her it's somewhat of a family name as Serious has a brother named the same. 

Names are funny! Sometimes many hours are put into research. I spent hours and hours deciding on a name for Ritz only to have it lost in translation or red tape on her FCI registration. So disappointing but something we'll now forever live with. Once registered... they're registered.
Sometimes a name just pops in one's head. And sometimes the pups do something and essentially name themselves. Sandy and Tom informed me they had selected the name Thor for their boy, Mr Green, during their visit. A few days later though I received a call asking if it would be a problem if it were changed. The change stems back to a FB post I published of Mr Green a while back, covered in sand, attempting to settle in for a snooze.  I titled the photo "Camouflage" for obvious reasons. Someone commented on the photo, stating Cam would be a good name =or nickname. I'd have to agree, though naming him wasn't my intention.  A couple days went by after Sandy and Toms visit and I received a call asking if it would create any trouble if they were to change it... My reply "of course not". Apparently, after reviewing his photo on Facebook they came to conclude Camouflage a great name -Cam for short! I love it!!! It suits him.
