Dogs - "Tail" Your Dog's Story

"Maya" - Maya
We adopted Maya at 8 weeks old from a rescue the week before Christmas 2008. She was the sweetest of the litter and a big size for a puppy. My kids and I went back and forth with names before I even went to pick her up. My youngest son wanted Snowball, but since she was black that didn't stick. We settled on Molly, but when I saw her she reminded me so much of the two dogs we had lost, like she had a little of both in her, and I thought she was all mine so I decided to call her Maya. Everyone liked the name so it stuck.

"" - Zoe Mae
Zoe Mae got her name from a voting contest in which over 100 of my family and friends chose from 10 names, all of which my husband and I had chosen and could live with! "Zoe" won and the "Mae" comes from my Aunt's name who has gone on to be with Jesus. She was like a second Mom to me and I believe would be happy to know I named my little furgirl after her. Zoe Mae is "The Resident Dog/Princess" at the Grandview Nursing Home in Campbellsville Ky and if you come there on a Friday, you can meet her! She is a furry angel and makes the residents, staff and vistors alike sooo happy when they see her.

"Shadow"
Shadow left us in Nov after 14 great years, but there was never a sweeter, quieter dog. She was a true "fireside spaniel". She did, though, have some psychopathic moments when she would eat the faces off her stuffed animals.

"Brownie"
I found Brownie, another dog, and 17 cats at an abandoned mobile home in Powell county. I rescued all, and found homes for most, but Brownie came to live with me. He is absolutely true-blue, and loves me whole-heartedly (and vice versa).

"Riley" - Riley
Riley has been part of the family for just a few months. When I adopted him from the humane society, we went to our regular vet for the first checkup. A few minor issues later, Riley was ready to go home. The vet remarked as we were leaving that this was one lucky dog...that he would "Live the Life of Riley." I thought that was appropriate. He is a wonderful pet...fun-loving and sweet at the same time.

"Shang" - Emperor Shang Li
Shih Tzu means "Little Lion" in Chinese. The family thought it would only be fitting to give him a Chinese name. Of course, nobody calls him his full name. He answers to almost anything. We usually just call him "Shangie". He's our little man.

Peabody Oldham was named after a character in a book I was reading. The character, Amelia Peabody Emerson, was a fictional turn of the century archeologist. He's a big ole sweet boy.

"Maizie"
Maizie already had her name when I got her. I call her "'maizie grace", because she's amazing.
