Unique Names: Moe-ka Capuccino - is my shepherd/terrier mix. She is8.8kg and turning 7
in January Taw-fee Kofi - is my pom/shitsu mix. He is 5 kg and turns 2 this
week-end X-press-o Latte - is my toy pom. he is 2.4 kg and it 1 1/2 years old
I am not too sure if my dogs names are unique. But the way that I spell them is. These dogs are just like children to me and have such personalities. We
call Taw-fee (Tman) for short, he is very enjetic loving dog. X-press-o (Pressy) for short is just like a billy goat jumping on everything and very fast. Moe-ka (Moe) for short, she is like a little momma..Each night before bed she cleans the boys eyes (not that the boys enjoy it)...and will growl if they are still playing and it is time for sleep....

Unique Name: Akaya (uhk-eye-uh) - a blend of names / words that mean "healing spirit"
Story: When I lost my first wonderful Shiloh Shepherd, I expected to have a long wait before adding a new one to my family simply because it took so long to find the first one. Still, almost immediately I made initial contact with a breeder to let her know I would one day be looking and would like to be considered for one of her pups some far off day. The next day she responded, telling me she had exactly what I had described right then. It threw me for a loop but a variety of factors sent me to get that pup, but return with a sibling. Even in the midst of great grief and daily tears for my very recent loss, the puppy brought me oodles of joy and smiles. She became Akaya (uhk-eye-uh), a blend of names / words that mean "healing spirit," and she continues to live up to the name.

Unique Name: Koegel Vienna
Story: When we got our Daschund we just couldn't find a good name for him. We were looking on the internet and everything until, one night we were looking in the
fridge for something for dinner when it hit me! We had Hot Dogs. So you can only guess what I named him? "Koegel Vienna" and it's been a tradition ever since that every Halloween he goes out trick or treating in his Hot Dog costume. Everyone just loves him!

Unique Name: Laika (pronounced with a long i)
Story: We have a pure-bred border collie. Our family loves history so we wanted to name her after the first dog in space. We changed the spelling to reflect the hawaiian language. It means wolf / bark in Russian (variation of Leika).

Unique Name: Memphis Belle
Story: Memphis Belle...We are going to name our St. Bernard puppy that. We are a proud Air Force family and we wanted to give her something that went along with my husbands career being a pilot. The history of the Memphis Belle is so inspiring.
The Memphis Belle is a B-17 Flying Fortress. She was the most famous Bomber in WWII because she was the first to complete 25 missions while keeping her entire crew alive. This was during a 10 month time period...80% of bombers were shot down within the first three months. After the 25th mission crews would get to go home.

Unique Name: Pixel - I have a Cocker Spaniel puppy who has excellent confirmation but she is going to be extremely small for a Cocker Spaniel. Our other dog is 100 lbs by comparison, making the addition seem even tinier. Our new little girl has a name that fits her tiny size, her sable coat made of many bits of color, and my daily work with computerized images: Pixel.

Unique Name: Queen Stuffed Bear
Story: I have a shaggy dog that everyone wonders at her breed. Nobody knows for sure, even her previous owner. I called her Queen Stuffed Bear. Queen because I wanted to stay with noble names (since I first received Princess Sweet Pea, a Dashshund that is so tiny she is adored by everyone who sees her). Stuffed Bear came to mind when I seen a stuffed bear that looked just like her. The bear could be her twin.
