Islay, the Miracle Dog
Islay is a little Boston Terrier that we adopted from New Hampshire. I was 6 when we got her and couldn't decides a name so she went nameless for a while. Then I started to notice that her black ears looked like islands on her white head. My mom told me that the Scottish word for island was Islay, but Islay is really the fifth largest island in Scotland, anyway the minute I heard the name I knew it was perfect for her. Now Islay is our little miracle dog. She's only 5 years old but already she's had 4 major things happen to her. First, she got into a fight with a fox under our front porch, but escaped with only a scratch on her nose. Second, she was hit by a car and paralyzed from the neck down for a couple of months, then made a full recovery. If you saw her now, you'd never know anything bad ever happened to her, she's always full of energy (in warm weather, in the winter she just likes to sleep). Third, she was attached by another dog that we owned, normally that dog was the sweetest thing ever but with Islay something snapped and she'd pick Islay up by the scruff and shake her. We sold that dog, her name was Lily by the way, she was a black lab mix, and just about the sweetest dog you could ever meet, but she just wasn't good with other dogs. Finally, Islay was scratched in the eye by one of our kittens, Jesus (who is, by the way, a girl). After all that Islay is still the sweetest I've every had and loves everybody she meets. |

Ducati |
Motor Bike Dog
When we first got our Bug (Pug/boston tarrier) he ran all around the house. he never stopped to sniff anything. he ran and ran and kept the kids occupied for hours, when it was finally time for bed, we forgot to get a pen for him! he was running around the house for another hour when FINALLY he settled down. so, the reason we named him Ducati is that he was really fast and liked to run! |

Spooky ? No but true
Spook was a hound mix. We wanted a good deer dog that would "spook" out the deer. She never knew she was a hound, she never even chased her tail! One day I looked out the window and seen a brown flash, at first I thought it was our other dog, but when I looked over by the door the other dog was sitting at the door. I looked out a second time and realized it was a big doe standing no more than 30 feet behind Spook as she lay there sleeping. Spook was a very sweet loving loyal and gentle girl. |

If the name fits!!
I love Louis Armstrong... This was a nick name he was given. It had something to do with his big mouth, not so flattering, but for a hunting dog you want it to have a big mouth. By big mouth I mean how much it barks. |
