Puppy Conversations | What’s in a Name?

Dear Kid,

Puppy: Tell me a story

Me: I just told you a story

Puppy: More?

Me: What kind of a story?

Puppy: My name, tell me about my name

When the puppy was first adopted DearKidLoveMom.comMe: Well, let’s see. When we got you from the shelter, your name was Pluto

Puppy: I had the wrong name

Me: Well, we thought it was the wrong name

Puppy: So you gave me the right name

Me: Not right away. We knew we had to find the right name, but we weren’t sure what it was.

Puppy: What did you call me?

Me: Sometimes we called you Puppy, sometimes I called you Baby.

Puppy: Because I’m your baby

Me: You will always be my baby

Puppy: Yes

Me: Then we started thinking about names. We came up with lots of names, but we just couldn’t agree. We made lists and we talked about it and thought about it and just couldn’t come up with the right name.

Puppy: Then what happened?

Me: After about three weeks, we finally decided that no one could leave the dinner table until we’d figured out your name

Puppy: And you named me Booker

Me: and we named you Booker

Puppy: And we lived Happily Ever After

Me: Absolutely

Puppy: I love you

Me: I love you too, Puppy

Puppy: Now scratch my tummy

Love, Mom

  1. I love your writing.
    Dog #1- found at a shelter, sitting in her cage with a pacifier. Thought she was a sweet docile little girl who never barked. Then we learned that she had multiple phobias (great for a psychiatrist)—white vans, roads, Black men (not women)….Once we realized how neurotic she was we batted around a bunch of names- Neurosis, Anna (Freud), and finally settled on Synapse- because she apparently had only one.
    Loved that dog.

    • Love the name Synapse. And Love that you found the perfect furry friend
