Birthday

Frankie
Johnny
Tomorrow is Frankie and Johnny's birthday.
They will be eight years old - 56 in human years.

We collected them when they were four months, and they have been a constant joy in our lives.  Frankly I don't know how people can live without dogs as they are so special - especially these two.

When we went to the breeder, there was a little girl there - their sister.  She was promised to some people down the hill, and she was very nice - quite smaller than the boys.  We named the boys because Hurricane Juan had just come through the South East and one of the boys was decidedly naughty, so he was called Juan.  We anglicised it and he became Johnny - Frankie was a natural follow on.  Now let's say that we had gone really soft and taken the little girl too.  I wonder what we would have called her.  Two little puppies in the house in deep mid-winter was a strain; can you imagine what three would have been like?  So what would have been a good name for the little girl.  Email me at trevorsummons@hotmail.com with your suggestions.
