Francine -- yep -- big massive red zins -- and she is a red smooth standard dachshund (e.g. a big red zin ) -- I was going to call her Ravenswood (after my favorite) but came up this this name and liked it better -- anything out near Heldsburg is top knotch in my book

Apologies to those Dawg's fans out there. No, we don't actully live in Florida-my husband grew up there. We're up here in Minnesota (the frozen tundra), but our hearts are in Florida where we hope to migrate permanetly to someday in the not so distant future.

Ok, I am glad I am not the only one that has silly names for my pup...

Osiris - we usually just call him Cyrus (I hate to say it - but prnouced like Miley Cyrus, although we DO NOT associate him with her.)

But he also gets called Puppy Doo, Puppers, Ruppy-Doo, Rupster, Puppy-Ruppy-Roo... oh my gosh, I am so bad.
