I actually had 5 dogs, and 2 already with names (adopted as adults).
The white Aussie you see posted as my avatar is named Sasha. She was my first puppy that I adopted after starting life in my own home. I know there is not really a story, but looking at her reminded me of the wild west. Sasha seemed like an appropriate name for her.
The other female Aussie's were named Emma and Sassy. Even though I had nothing to do with names they were named well for their personalities. Emma was sweet and brave, she had some great motherly instincts toward kids. Sassy, she was sassy. Kinda mean at first, she nipped/bit lot but we fixed it. She definitely liked to make a mess out of things and cause a stir among the dogs.
Buster was the name of our male Blue Heeler. He was a Craigslist adoption. We named him Buster after a week of having him because he was a ladies man pup and loved attention.
Then we had Googles, our female Blue Heeler. We adopted her from a farm at 6 weeks of age (claimed at 3). We named her Googles for the same reason the farmers named her Goggles--she had two small black rings, one around each eye that made her look like a racoon. She was so adorable and shy!
