Lets start with Frankie's Name Game!
We will save Monty for another day, and let you know how Sam got his name!
Hello!
There isn't much of a story with Sam. I've always tried to keep my dogs names simple and short. I thought long and hard about Sam's name, and for the first month after getting him as a puppy he remained nameless. I kept a list with me with all sorts of names on them. Whenever I had a minute I would pull out the list and study the names. I wanted it to be short, simple but be a great name for a dog I knew would be a great dog one day! He was too reserved for a silly name, too friendly for an authoritative name, and too cute for a serious name! Sam kept popping up on my list, and Sam the pup seemed to like the name. Sam was named!
On to the Hawaii Party!
This post seems to be mainly about Sam, and it really is! Monty would not cooperate with the wearing of leis and funny shirts! Sam, on the other hand, is always ready for a party!
I sure hope Maya thinks I'm cute in this shirt!
We wish you all a wonderful Independence Day!
We like your name, Sam. :) Good name!

I like simple and short names as well! And love the Hawaii pictures! You are rocking that shirt!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Well, short and sweet is always a good way to go! What did you call him for the first month when you wanted him to come to you?
ReplyDeleteOMD, Sam looks so cute..er...handsome in those pictures! I think that Sam was a wonderful choice. Sam sounds genial but solid and down to earth. Nothing pretentious about a Sam. Sounds to me that Sam is a lot like that.

Sam is a perfect Golden name - like an old friend. You look awesome in your Luau wears. Farley would never cooperate like that :)
ReplyDeleteMom's grandpaw was named Sam -- so she loves that name. It's a straightforward, honest name. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteAnd we think you look pawsome in that shirt!!
