Ready to Name the Puppy? We have six little Dorkie Princesses, and 5 of them need to be named. One is already called "Little Star" (as in Twinkle Twinkle). I'm asking your help in picking names for the rest.
Keep in mind, their Mommy is named Twinkle, their auntie is Sparkle and their owner is Sugarwings. That might be a little hint about what kind of names we like around here. Well, actual that I like. My husband doesn't really care for standing on the porch and calling "here Twinkle, here Sparkle!"
For inspiration, here are some close ups of the little fuzz balls.
And the contest rules:
1-ON THIS POST leave a comment with a name choice.
2-You can enter more than once, but please enter separate names in separate comments, and only on THIS post.
3-I will pick 5 names that I like for prizes. If there are duplicates, I will write the names of the commenters onto slips of paper and have Sugarwings draw the winner.
4-A very pretty hat will be used to hold the slips of paper!
5-The prizes are glass, heart shaped, millifiori charms.
Deadline? Hmmm, how about one week from today?
That is Thursday, February 5th.
There has been a lot of interest in helping me with names, so please, if you have mentioned one previously, add it to THIS post!! You have given me some good ones already, so I'd like for you to have a chance to win a prize for helping out.
Prizes are fun for me. I have to tell you, I get so much back from my readers, that I just feel like I want to do something in return. So I try to always have some gifts for you, such as my regular monthly drawing and other little giveaways here and there.
There will be a prize for Valentine's Day, also, since that is my TWO YEAR blogaversery. Has it only been two years?? And what did I do with all my time before I discover the blog world?
My 500th post is coming up soon, as well as my 15,000th comment. Oops, scratch that, I just looked to see how close it was and I passed it!! Thanks everyone for all your kind comments, I do love to hear from you, even though I don't always answer, or I do answer and the email gets bounced back to me. There are a few of you out there who have never gotten the email answers I send and you still keep commenting, even though you must think I am rude. Thanks for coming back anyway!
I'm also close to 500,000 views. My gosh, what a surprise. Who ever thought, 2 years ago when I started this ramble, that any one at all would even look at it. Thanks so much to those of you who come to visit and keep me company here. Working as an artist can be a solitary adventure, it is nice to know that company is always just a click away when I need a break.
Tell you what, I will go back and see who was # 15,000 and send her one of these pretty little hearts too.
Be right back.....................................................................................................................................................
I'm back, and the winner is:
Diane
Here is her comment:
I would love to be with those pups!!!! So sweet!!!!!!!!!!!! Cookies sound yum!!!
Diane, please contact me with your address. And thanks so much to all of you who comment. I always like to hear from you.
Here is a reminder of the prize for January. There will be some more Valentine themed gifts coming for the 500th post and the anniversary too.
I have some gifts that I was sent as part of the Puppy Love swap to show you too. Swappers are generous souls and not only are they sending me pretties, but Sugarwings has some to open too!
My fairy grand baby is head over heels, crazy about the puppies herself. She has adopted them as her "babies" and likes to give them rides in her carriage. Which is better than squeezing them with joy, this is a nice compromise that the puppies appreciate.
Thanks again to everyone who has left such nice comments and to all of you who come by to visit. Also to those of you who take the time to join in my swaps and make them so much fun. Now, start thinking up puppy names!

I love faery names for my pets - the meaning to this is "Fairy princess of the field"
Can't wait to see what these cuties will be called. I have a house full of Doxies, and the family (and friends) all have fun naming them.

How about Jackie or Bailey?
Seeing the picture of Sugarwings pushing the stroller reminded me of when my Sister and I were little. We had a pet rabbit named Thumper. We would dress it up and take it for a stroll to the bakery on the corner. We would leave the stroller parked outside with the rabbit in it. People would peek in there thinking it was a doll. It was so funny to see their expressions.
