The top contenders for Nana & Papa’s puppy’s name were Rusty, Sparky, Kirby and Fritz. My parents put all the names on slips of paper and puppy picked out “Fritz.” Twice! He must have really liked that name.
I’m going back through the comments now to see if anyone had mentioned that name, but it was the nickname my Grandma used to call my Grandpa – so that makes it extra special.
This puppy seriously gets cuter with each photo I see. Addie squeals “Puppeeeeee” each time she sees the pictures. And now she just says “Papa’s Puppy?” It’s a little tongue twister for her. And as I am typing this she came up and said, “Papa’s Puppy? Too happy! Oh, Papa’s Puppy.” I’m not sure if that means the puppy is too happy or she is too happy to see him.
At any rate, we can’t wait to meet Fritz in person.

Update: Rosalie and Reese had offered up the name Fritz in their very comprehensive composition of A to Z names for the puppy – so they will be receiving a gift certificate to Amazon. Congrats to them and thanks everyone for playing!
Whew!! Am I glad that the name Andy didn’t win. That was on on the list and I was sweating it!
Sure wonderful to get your blogs again. More later.
Love to all 4 of you,
Aunt Vicki
I would have never thought of that name, Fritz but now that I look at him and say it, it’s perfect! I love it..he is so adorable. My kids want (want is the keyword there) another dog and name him Paulie (after the guy in Rocky) nice do my kids watch to much TV?
