[NAGDU] Dog names

[David]

Thanks, Tracy.  My pup is Claire Rose, aka Nosy Rosy, or Curious 
Claire.  I thought it was a bit strange at first, but it works well, 
because it is so unique that people often don't hear it right when I 
call her that in public.  I tell strangers her name is Patsy.  The sound 
is so different that Claire just ignores them when they fawn over her 
and call her 'name'.
