Hi all! I hope your February is going great!
We have been staying busy around here. The boys are doing excellent at school and our daughter potty trained in less than a few days before she turned 3! AMAZING!!
Our doggies are doing great and I am getting impatient for March to roll around to breed Macy.
I look forward to seeing and snuggling those cute pups!
I ran across some articles that I thought I would share.
They are both from AKC. I copied some information but have included the link to each article.
The first article is 2017 top dog names. I know some of our pups we have sold that made the list are named Buddy, Lucy, Daisy, Luna and Maggie. Did your dog make the list?
Every year, Rover.com releases its list of top dog names, and the results are in for 2017! One of the most interesting things about the annual list of the 10 most popular dog names is that it rarely changes much. It’s a classic group of names that dog owners gravitate to year after year. However, when Rover slices and dices its data, different trends do appear in dog naming, even if they’re not apparent in the top 10 names. For those who love statistics, more about that later. But here’s the brand new list of top 10 dog names for 2017:
Top 10 Male Dog Names:
1. Max
2. Charlie
3. Cooper
4. Buddy
5. Jack
6. Rocky
7. Oliver
8. Bear
9. Duke
10. Tucker
Top 10 Female Dog Names:
1. Bella
2. Lucy
3. Daisy
4. Luna
5. Lola
6. Sadie
7. Molly
8. Maggie
9. Bailey
10. Sophie
Popular culture continues to rule the name game. Fifty-three percent of all dog owners name their dogs for a character from a TV show, movie, or book, or after a celebrity. This year, Wonder Woman-themed names are up by 45 percent, and the name Atwood, after the author of "The Handmaid’s Tale," is up by 200 percent. "Star Wars" names, like Rey, Finn, Luke, and Leia are up by 70 percent.
The article below I found cute :)
Meet the Golden Retriever and Tortoise Who Are BFFs
Christine Hill's dog, Cricket, is a classic Golden Retriever. He's silly, fun, loving, devoted, and friendly...even towards those who may be a little different. Like Larry the African spurred tortoise, for example.
Hill rescued Larry from an Animal Center where he was being bullied by four other tortoises, who were all fighting for the affection of one female tortoise, National Geographic reports.
She brought him home and while at first he was "in defense mode," he quickly took a liking to Cricket.
When the two first met, "It was almost like they were chatting,” Hill told National Geographic. Cricket laid down next to Larry, and the tortoise was completely at ease, she said.
"Since that day, they’ve been inseparable."
Hill recounts the adventures of the unlikely best friends on her Instagram @fozzcook. The pair do everything from dressing up together, sharing watermelon, to just lounging around.
We might see it as an unusual friendship, but Cricket and Larry would beg to differ. See some adorable videos and photos of the pair of BFFs below.
