The Name Game

“OK, honey, let’s compromise. You can name the girls after your aunts, and I get to name the boys after my uncles. That way nobody in the family feels left out, and one of them gets to be named Spike, which is my favorite name ever.”

    Oh my gosh, 10 poopy dogs! That poor mama dog, she has to worn out. Hope she gets hoomin help and some quiet time. Of course proud daddy, who doesn’t have to do any of the work.

    I just think both of them are in shock. That’s a heck of a lot of pups, god help them when they all start crawling around.

    Plus I’ll see your Aunt Spike and raise you an Uncle Gigi. When I first met the majority of my husband’s family, it was at his grandmother’s funeral and I kept hearing people say Uncle Gigi, Uncle Gigi and trust me, I was very confused. I’m thinking either I’m hearing it wrong or something’s up. Turns out the man’s name was Augustin (New England French Canadian family) and since he was a kid, they had nicknamed him Gigi.

      That’s definitely original.

    I always assume pictures like this one are a breeder situation, which is just depressing. I understand not all of us agree on this, but I wish this site didn’t passively promote or support breeding by sharing these kinds of images as if it’s nothing but cute. I am also aware I am likely sometimes wrong in my assumptions, but likely not always. And unless it’s clear it’s not a breeder situation, it just serves to immediately remind me of the heartbreak of the overfilled shelters, the kill shelters, and the dogs struggling to survive on the streets.

      Also the fact that this breed of dog is so deformed (enlarged head to make it look “cuter”) that all of the pups have to be delivered surgically by a vet.
