Once again the photo is a stretch but it might make sense by the end of the post. The Big Bad Family is looking at Dogs. We have yet to have a dog, Pre or post ShortThings. We‘ve wanted one forever but it never seemed like the right time. Never really fair to the dog you know, we wanted to make sure it was going to get the attention and care that it needed. Well, it seem like now is the right time, not right now, but soon. You see, SugarMomma saw this article in the paper about this relatively new breed called Eurasiers. They were having a Eurasier conference here in Calgary and the article had pictures and named one of the local breeders who happened to be the head of the Canadian Eurasier club. These dogs are B-U-Tee-Full! So we did a little more research and they sounded like the perfect dog for us. Intrigued we contacted the local breeder, filled out an application, went and met him and his FIVE dogs, fell in love and put our names on the waiting list. The next litter of puppies should, if all goes well be ready to leave the breeder around April. PERFECT! So what’s next, names of course. I have a list of names that the SugarMomma wouldn’t let me call the children, so those are the first names thrown into the ring. T1 is old enough and creative enough to provide some of her own suggestions. This is where it gets good.

Originally We thought we wanted two dogs right from the start, but upon advice from the breeder we will have to stagger them a year to 18 months apart. Something about the older one helping train the younger one, makes sense I guess because hey! What do I know. So back to the Names. T1 has offered up “Rock Johnson” for a male and “Rock Purdy” for a female. My first reaction is that “Rock Johnson” sounds like, well.....you know what it sounds like. So I say to T1, that’s a pretty long name, try and pretend you are at the dog park and you have to call out that name because he’s running away, it’s a lot to say. What do you think? I know! she says we could call him “Mr. Rock Johnson”! (Yes, yes dear that’s so much shorter). Try yelling that for the dog, “Come! Mr Rock Johnson!, Come! Mr Rock Johnson!”

We’ll keep looking for good names. Any Suggestions?
