I found a very wee, cute book called "The Incomplete Book of Dog Names" in a shop on 14th Street last week.

"A collection from actual creatures now living, either in the flesh or in memory"

The wee book contains a long list of wonderful names for furry friends. It also contains a number of quotes.

Some of my favorite names from the book:
- Hercules
- Nutmeg (Hey! That is my name, too! A nut + a Meg)
- Tater
- Hansel (He's so hot right now...)
- Wren
- Peewee
- Ivan (the Terrible)
- Major
- William Jennings Bryon (ok...)
- Mr. Chang (ok, again...)
- French Fry

Some good quotes from the book:
- "I have always thought of a dog lover as a dog that was in love with another dog." - James Thurber

- "I wonder what goes through his mind when he sees us peeing in his water bowl." - Penny Ward Moser

- "The only food he has ever stolen has been down on a coffee table. He claims that he genuinely believed it to be a table meant for dogs." - Jean Little

Presidential Pooches:
- King Tut, Herbert Hoover
- Dumpling, Lyndon B. Johnson
- Butterfly, John F. Kennedy
- Mopsey, Searcher, Tipler, and Sweet Lips, George Washington

Sweet Lips, eh? ...
