Snowy II

The dog is called "Snowy." We tried coming up with all kinds of names - Chewie, Padme, Puteh (Malay for "white" - my favorite), Peapod, Lucca, Frodo, Pippin, Kara etc. But we couldn't agree on any one. I got lambasted for coming up with the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings names. So we decided to call her Snowy because it's phonetically close to "Winnie," what she was called by her previous owner. We didn't have to change her name, but I suppose in our family, "Winnie" is too closely associated with Pooh. At least "Snowy" is a dog, and white. Like her namesake, this Snowy is very hyper and clever.
