What’s In A Name?

Every dog has a story, and so does every dog’s name. Just like our human babies, our fur babies all have a story that accompanies why we name them what we do! You have to watch this video about “Duck”. The film reveals the heartwarming story of how the dog in the story got his name. It also highlights the important role IAMS™ food plays in keeping dogs healthy and active throughout life with noticeably better nutrition.

I hate to admit that made me tear up. I blame it on being a mom. That stuff always gets me! Our own little doggy (well, she's not so little any more) has her own story too. Meet Daisy.

Daisy has an interesting backstory. Grandma's dog Angel and Uncle Kyle's dog (neither dog was fixed) got together. Grandma didn't even know Angel was pregnant till basically she went into labor. The fun part of that was that she was babysitting Will for me that day after school. Basically what that means is that we were at their house when Daisy was born! Daisy was the runt of the litter and barely made it when she was born. Daisy was one of many puppies.

Since the grandkids were there (my inlays brought their kids over too), they got to name all the dogs. My kids just liked the name Daisy, so that's how she got her name. They also helped name all the other puppies. However, those puppies went to other families, and Daisy is the only one who still has her original name!

Daisy has grown up with my kids. As you can see, she's a much bigger dog now. However, she does think she's an 80 lb lap dog!
