[NAGDU] Dog names

Fri Apr 20 17:06:35 UTC 2018

My last dog was a yellow lab from Pilot dogs and his name was Charlie. My 
current dog is a black lab and her name is Darcy.

My first guide dogwas from Pilot and was a boxer named Tiger, my second dog 
was from Pilot and was a yellow lab named Campy, my third guide dog was from 
GDB and was a Shepherd named Galaxy, my forth dog was from GDB and was a 
yellow lab named Matrix. Just thought I'd share the different names I've 
had. Matrix the yellow lab was my best dog in every way.

I have never had a dog named Charlie. I think I would rather not have a dog
named Fred, and I'm not sure why. Max is my grandson. I think cupcake would
be nice. If I go get another dog, I wonder what its name will be.

I'm OK with human names for dogs. Karl, Chet, Hildegard, all fine by me.
Charlie, Max, Mac, Maggie, however, are boring as. I think everyone's had a
dog named Charlie once in their lives, not sure why.
