My new brindle bundle of joy…

[TMartin]

@ownedbyspencer:

She's very sweet and playful– always on the go so maybe her name should be Va-Va-Vroom or Vroom Vroom! She's also very clumsy-- bumping into things at full speed, tripping over her own feet and not really able to navigate stairs. I'm trying not to be a helicopter mom, but she just keeps taking tumbles. And here we are starting puppy agility class in March. LOL!

Your Kaia is from the TT litter, right? What did you end up choosing as her registered name?

Hopefully she'll be more coordinated by the time agility starts, though that would be highly amusing to watch!

Yes Kaia is from TT, I have not chosen anything for her registered name yet. I may just leave that up to Tad as I wouldn't even know where to begin, lol. Although it could be something with "tri" in there.

@ownedbyspencer:

Krunzer, Meisterhaus will be having a YY litter next year. Could there be a little Yin and Yang waiting for you? It's a wonderful name!

I was joking around with Therese from Fopaws this summer about a tri baby and she plans on breeding Miranda this fall. Maybe my Yin and Yang will be in that litter. Just have to get hubby on board for B no. Three!

Good luck with the naming…you have some wonderful names to pick from.

Haha– I was just kidding, but three sounds like a perfect number!

@Chealsie508:

I like Ava…

You should just call her Zoom, lmao!

Totally. If she were the ZZ litter, I'd name her Zoom Zoom, for sure… and call her ZuZu.

Kaia is such a pretty name. Maybe something like:

Tri and Tri Again
Tri To Resist
Tri Not To Laugh

[lisastewart]

What a cutie, I have her brindle uncle and two girl cousins.

TMartin…. how funny is this... One of my puppies that I called Mitten Foot because she had a brown leg with just white on her paw (and pastern) like her Mom, finally has a name.

It is Kaia.... which is Hawaiian "by the sea" and they live Santa Barbara. So both one of my Tri girls and your Tri girl have the same call name AND they are related by their parents! Small world, yes?

That is so weird. Kaia is not a popular name by far and has different meanings depending on where you look ("by the sea", "pure", and "earth" among others). I think they have the same father; the other male used was r/w with r/w parents and grandparents. Of course we have to wait for the DNA results, but if Jasper is the sire then they are half-sisters with the same name!

Still would be related back there if Drummer, but how interesting that would be if they have the same Dad… and the same name... WOW..

[tanza]

What made you pick Kaia?

[tanza]

TMartin,
I think that Tad emailed you that Jasper is the "Daddy"…. so we have 1/2 sisters with the same name

Tri-Tempting

Tri-ing to tempt (or is that 3t's?)

Tempting tri?

[TMartin]

Tanza- yes he emailed me. Jasper is the father for the entire litter. So we know for sure we have half-sisters sharing a name! Like ownedbyspencer we thought we were getting a red boy, but found out when our friends got there that it was the tri girl. I had the boy name picked out and had to quickly figure out a girl name. I had a few, couldn't figure out which to choose, but Kaia seemed to fit and I really liked the name. Not to mention I thought it'd be awhile before seeing/hearing another Kaia! I never would have thought her half-sister would be named that too.

[tanza]

Life is funny sometimes.. and I agree, who would have thunk it! Tad loved the story….

[TMartin]

ownedbyspencer- any new names pop out at you recently?

[tanza]

Good thing you told her what you named your puppy, we could have had three Kaia's!

[TMartin]

Lol…I would be going to play the lottery or something if that happened! And then rethinking what I consider "uncommon" names...

[ownedbyspencer]

I had a friend suggest this really pretty and unusual name to me last night– Kaya. Must be one of those stealth trends!

Still no name. I have backburnered it a bit, since I'm dealing with crate training issues. She panics in her crate and has explosive diarrhea the minute I leave her. It's been that way from the trip home. She had never been in a crate before and just went ballistic. So I spent the past week feeding her in the crate, giving her treats and playing with her in there with the door open, trying to erase the negative experience. She's fine with the door open and will go in to eat or get a treat. I can even shut the door for a minute, if I'm right there with her, though you can see her get anxious. Today I shut the door and walked into the other room. The panic started immediately and you wouldn't believe the mess! Any words of advice? TMartin, has Kaia been okay in the crate?

[tanza]

So, where is she sleeping at night?
