Name the Chupacabra
There's a poll at the top of the sidebar now: we're in the process of adopting a 'chupacabra' (Chinese Hairless Crested) from Grand Companions in Fort Davis and she needs a name.
La Llorona was dismissed due to regional folklore and we don't want small children to think that our dog will drown them in the river.
Sweet I was going to suggest Nagual even before I saw that it was an option. I think a mythical aztec/zapotec "were" creature is an awesome name for a chinese crested living in the borderlands!
That's very helpful! We'll add those to the list and then pick one by playing duck-duck-Christmas =) Shea would have fun helping with that option, too ;-)

"When the moon shall have faded from the sky, and the sun shall shine at noonday a dull cherry-red, and the seas shall be frozen over, and the ice-cap shall have crept downward from the equator from either pole, and no keels shall cut the waters, nor wheels turn in mills, when all cities shall have long been dead and crumbled into dust, and all life shall be on the very last verge of extinction on this globe; then, on a bit of lichen, growing on the bald rocks beside the eternal snows of Panama, shall be seated a tiny insect, preening its antennae in the glow of the worn-out sun, representing the sole survival of animal life on this our earth, --a melancholy 'bug'."
-- The Moth Book, W. J. Holland, 1909

ReplyDeleteShea might like duck-duck-banana peel.
ReplyDeleteThose are very helpful votes. Especially Jahzy's latter choice. ;-)

ReplyDeletePedro
Keep that thing away from me!
ReplyDeleteHugh had a dog years ago that he named "dog." Seemed very fitting. Of those on your list I like Fuzzel best. (Fizzel would work too)
ReplyDeleteCousin, Anfupha is a bit shorter - you still like?
ReplyDeleteCollins, you've been keeping yourself away! Don't use this as an excuse to not visit =P
Carolyn, I dated a fellow whose dog was named Puppy... (again, with the never growing out of the name, Anakin goes by Puppy an awful lot!)
CHUPIE!
ReplyDeleteSay it out loud. Here Chupie, Chupie....
Cute, isn't it? :-)
