a little something from Mary
I wonder how many of you have different names for your dogs, not just their normal pet name, but other ones for different occasions?
Tolutim Eau de Vie has been called many things in the course of her short life, and has different names for different times. She is called “DV”, but she has a number of other names.
She has been “monster” for quite some time now. You might understand she is called this whenever she is being particularly naughty, a streak which all dalmatians have.
Recently, however, two new names have been attathced to her – “bouncing bomb” or “tigger”. She has very springy back legs that nearly take her over the child gates, especially whenever anyone calls. In fact she still jumps up on us far too much – we hope one day she will get the message.
It was going to happen some time. The bouncing bomb leapt up onto the rockery, and kept on bouncing in her excitement into the pond.
There was a plus to this, while she was so busy drying herself off, she didn’t hear me starting up the lawn mower and for the first time she stayed outside while I mowed the grass.
Lacie is sometimes called other names when she is naughty, but they are far to rude to print!!!!!
Obviously she has taken this trait from her mother as her father is the most wonderful quite natured dog – so well behaved!!
