How I Got My Name


Well the humans named me Sam. But you won't believe how long it took them to decide on a name, or how many names (if you could call them names) they went through. I'm just lucky I can walk around with my head up.

The old lady was the worse at names. She was coming up with stuff like Spot, Dog, Nothing. These humans actually owned a dog one time named Nothing. I was laying in the lap of the oldest, Tiffany when I heard the old lady say "I've got the perfect name". I thought to myself finally. But then when she spoke, I had to close my eyes and pray (yeah, I do that) "Lord no, please" BARTHOLOMEW can you believe anybody would name their dog Bartholomew. It maybe ok for a human, but not a dog!!

Tiffany and Genea' was wanting to name me little girly names like Fluffy, Pongo, Cutie. I just laid there thinking come on girls the reason I'm here is because I'm a boy. Remember the old lady said no girls, and these are not boy names.

I figured my only hope was with the boy, Keith, he was wanting names like Rover, Lassie, Tiger, Thunder. I really liked Thunder, but he was getting shot down left and right.

I thought it best I just go back to sleep and hope for the best. As I was waking up I thought we had company, I could hear the humans calling somebody. Then I realized hey, they're calling me. They finally had decided on a name….. Sam. I can live with Sam.
