Now some of you may be wondering how Denny got his name. No - he isn't named after the restaurant chain (which Mom and Dad saw a lot of in Kentucky but not here in Arkansas) No - Mom wanted a good Scottish name and of coarse wanted a name ending in 'y' or ie' as us doggies tend to respond better to names with those on the end. Dad of coarse bought up "Clancy" yet again - both Mom and I rolled our eyes and sighed and both said "NO". "Well what about another name from my favorite movie?" Dad said. His favorite movie is "The Man From Snowy River." Mom thought for a bit and then said "what was the horses name in the movie?" It was of coarse - Denny. By co-incidence the horse was a red roan in color. Mom then checked the Scottish boys names site she had open and there is was - Denny and the meaning of it "red headed one." I mean to say - how perfect was that! So that is how Denny got his name and we had it picked out a week before he came home and even better - it suits him perfectly and he already responds to it.

A pawsome name for a pawsome boy. We think Reilly and Denny will make an outstanding pair.

What a cutie. We love names that have a special meaning like that. I am named after my Daddy's favorite TV show. The Mama and the Daddy knew that my name would be Kolchak before they even knew what kind of dog I would be or where they would find me!
ReplyDeleteAnd all this time Mom was thinking 'Boston Legal' and Denny Crane! ;-)
