[Dailydrool] Names

[sally king]

We are sending get well drool to the many ailing hounds and support and heart-healing drool for the families whose beloved pets have gone to the bridge. We worry and mourn alongside each of you.

Absolutely.
I shall never forget how we discussed the hound we were due to adopt. Her name was Blossom. As she was three and a half, although we weren't keen on the name, we felt it would be unfair to change it.
When we met her we tried really hard to call her Blossom, even though she didn't really look like one.  I kept feeling the strong urge to use a particular name every time I called her and with no discussion whatsoever, my daughter suddenly called her by that same name. Clara has NEVER answered to Blossom, she answered to Clara that first time Tilly said it and has done ever since.
I am convinced she chose her own name.

Sally, slave to Rolph and Clara, step slave to Tessie, Henry and Solomon atb
