For those in the dark, Fred and Hobbes where Dalmations that were a big part of my previous life in Canada (pre-Tanya) . Fred was a big, gentle liver-spotted (brown spots not black) grand-fatherly, former stud and Hobbes was a hyper - rather needy, little snuggler that was rescued from the pound.
Some excellent names we're considering are:
Boy:
Wolfred Jacob Isaak
Girl:
Hobillia (or Hobbileena) Frederika Isaak
I swear I heard my niece Cailtlin call him Hobbes Hobbileena when they were playing dress-up and she dressed him up in a scarf and skirt. At the time I thought it sounded a little feminine for a male dog but as Hobbes was nutured and all, he did not object. Presently, Caitlin, says 'Tanya, you've got to talk to Don about those names'. Seems she's changed her tune.
One of Tanya's sisters says she's 'going to come down to San Diego and open a can of Whoop Ass on me' if we don't come up with something better.
Did you know that John 'the Duke' Wayne's real name was Marion? And that Duke was the dog that faithfully walked him to school everyday? And that Condelezza Rice was named after a pizza?
Wolfred, Hobbileena. Tomorrow's Duke, Condelezza....
If anyone out there has some better suggestions bring 'em on.
