names: August 2010 Archives
On June 15th, we found a new wonderful dog from the Long Beach shelter, who was a Shiba Inu and German shephard mix. Sight unseen, our 4 yr old daughter named her "Feather." I had to warm up to the name at first, but it fits.
Official name: Feather "Clementine" Velez
Feather - because her tail really does look like a feather...and when it wags, her whole bum moves.
What a great looking dog with just the right name. Congratulations to all of you!"Clementine" - because she is so sweet.
About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
