I'm stuck too! I wanted to somehow incorporate the name Rachel gave her in some way, or at least make reference to it.

It took me about 3-4 months before I finally came up with Dizzy's registered name. It will come to you eventually. I threw all sorts of stuff around, but after getting to know my little monster I settled on, Nando's Upper West Sideshow. Nando is the kennel name, we live in NYC on the upper west side, and Dizzy is a little quirky so, sideshow. Originally I thought I'd call him Nando's Gotham Fanfare, fanfare because he's named after a trumpet player, Dizzy Gillespie, but it was kinda cheesy plus he's such a goofball.

I love the whole process of picking AKC names It'll come to you eventually.

Zoey's right now is Myshka's Fierce Vixen Zoey but I just sent in a name change, it's going to be Arctic Blue's Girl on Fire

Embry is Arctic Blue's Ember Glow and Ares is Arctic Blue's God of War

Hmm "Kennedy's Layla's aCapella song" cuz she'll be an awesome singer/howler!! Lol

And hmm Caoimhe...Polaris...."Kennedy's northern star" and call her Caoimhe obviously. "Kennedy's Caoimhe's northern star"...Polaris means North Star/northern star...idk just off the top of my head!!

I like the "Acapella" idea! I'll have to work that in somehow!

the word for star in Irish is Réalta... I have thought about using that in there as a nod to Polaris

Cute! I swear she and Layla have grown since a couple days ago ...

they really have Liz! I KNOW she is bigger than when we picked her up on Monday!!

Oh my god she's too cute!

Yay for adorable puppy pictures!

Ah puppies got to love them..

Wow, I've seriously been slacking with puppy pictures... 

here is Caoimhe's first snow experience last week:





Here she is on her first road trip. We went to NJ for Thanksgiving and she did SO well. Even on the hellish 11.5 hour car ride home.

Glad Caoimhe survived such a long ride! Layla's awesome in the car, too. I think she thinks it's a second home, haha. She even knows to get in her seat when I get in instead of trying to sit in my seat, haha. We'll be making a five-hour trip to my parents' place in the Adirondacks for Christmas, a trip that will also include a four-to-five-hour trip out to Buffalo, N.Y., to visit my father's family. I worry about Darren's and my nerves more than I do Layla's, haha!
