[NAGDU] Dog Names

[The Pawpower Pack]

Aww Tracy, that's such a beautiful story! 
When I got Soleil she was a little over 2. She was the mom dog in a backyard breeding situation and was rescued by my vet when the owner went to prison.  Her name was Solo. I thought that was so sad because she was solo alone in the yard except for when she had pups. So when I adopted her I would call her name and Laveau would come running— I guess Laveau sounds like Solo? That o sound... So I changed her name to Soleil, which is french for Sunshine because she's so so sun-shiney. She's like the happiest and most loving dog I have ever met.   And the last l is silent so it's said like so lay. .
