so, now you are wondering why isn't he called "Oreo" - I'm getting to that - when they got home mom went to get Livy - - then mom put me into a pocket book because I was so tiny and it was quite cold.........she and Livy went to the vet to get me checked out - when they asked for my name - Livy said "I think we'll call him Checkers" -- so that was it - I became Checkers and not Oreo -
Now daddy calls me TANK since I gained so much weight - I'm a whopping 11 pounds........hehehe - Speaking of TANK - don't forget to visit him on his special day tomorrow....
Maybe it's just cuz I've only known you as Checkers but the name seems to fit you better than Oreo.
ReplyDeleteAlthough if I'd known you as Oreo and heard your mom had origninally thought of calling you Checkers, maybe I'd think Oreo fit you better! LOL
Both are cute names!
That Livy is one smart girl!
ReplyDeleteWoo are SOOOO a Chekhkers!

We loved the name Checkers and it really seems to fit you well. Oreo is nice too but Livy made the best choice.

What a good way to get your name. I think the best names is those that come about all of a sudden like that.
