Puppy names

We got one name suggestion for something cephlapod related, so we did! We named the boy Kraken after the mythical giant octopus/squid. We kept with the mythical creatures theme and named the girls Yeti, Nessy (Locness monster) and Nuk-luk. Here is what wikipedia has to say about Nuk-luk...

"The Nuk-luk ("Man of the Bush") is a cryptozoological hominid reported in the Nahanni National Park Reserve near Nahanni Butte, Northwest Territories, Canada, between April and June of 1964, by John Baptist, several men, and a boy named Jerry. Several Dene from Fort Liard who were trapping at a river reportedly came upon the creature in April of 1964. It appeared strong-looking, and appeared to have a long, dark beard, wore no clothes, and was 5 ft (1.5 m) tall.
In June 1964, near Fort Simpson around 9 p.m. a boy named Jerry reported a similar creature. It had black hair on its head, upper body, and legs, and a black head, slightly pointed at the back. It also had a long, brown beard that reached its waist, and wore ankle-high boots, a mooseskin loincloth, and had a stone club in its hand. These creatures have been reported for hundreds of years and are said to have bootlike footprints and whistling calls. They have been reported from the Northwest Territories to Yukon to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska."

We thought that was a funny enough description to keep the name in the kennel...

  1. Awesome names guys, I feel so special to have spurred on such a creative slew of names! (this coming from someone with a dog named after a marsupial, and another after a monster). You must be getting so excited Paige! Keep healthy, keep strong, and keep LIVING the dream!! xx H
