name our puppy: the big vote

Now, I realize that we are a good 3-4 months away from getting a puppy. Possibly more. But I like to plan. Get used to it. We both like to plan. It's our favorite past time. Besides eating, I mean.


I've compiled a short list of names that I found and like. And I want you to place your vote.

I haven't told Mark any of these, because he's already in bed. Instead, I'm texting him the list, and he will vote in the morning when I get my Love Note at 5:54am. I'll let you know what he thinks tomorrow!

We have decided to get a Westie. We're about 97% sure that's what we want. So keep in mind that the name you vote on will be going to a puppy that looks like this:



but he'll grow up and look like this:



So here's the list:

Harvey

Jasper

Tucker
---> We are from Kentucky, so this is like a slice of home - the main reason I love it!

Kobi

Ollie




Now, go on and cast your votes!

(I'll let you all know my favorite name tomorrow night. When I figure out what my favorite name is ... because right now I'm a little clueless!)

  1. i would say Harvey because you know I love it so. But then Tucker is a little slice of home. So I love that more. Man, it's a good thing you didn't grow up in like Wyoming, oh, then it could be Wyatt. Well, it's a good thing you didn't grow up in like California, then it'd be like Fornie. Haha. Which is dumb. Or hey, Oregon, it'd be like, Reg. Regi. Something like that. Haha. Or Washington, then it'd be Wash. And that's dumb.

    ohhh, but it's REALLY good that you didn't grow up in Virginia, because then it'd be like, well, you get the idea.

    ...ok, I'm done. I promise.

  3. Wow, the said thing is that I didn't get why Tucker would be like a little slice of home until Christine's silly comment. I'm a little on the slow side sometimes...

  4. On a side note, if his name WAS Ollie, we could call him in from doing his business by shouting, "Ollie Ollie Oxen Free!"

    :]

  5. Oops - maybe I should elaborate in my blog a little more. like, 'Tuckian. Tucker. KenTUCKian. yeah.

    also, if our last name was Free, Ollie would be the name NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Because his middle name would def be Oxen. And his doggie dish would say

    Ollie Oxen Free

    too bad we're the Cox's though..
