[Hound Dog Mom]

Gertude Margaret (aged 2); Nicknames: Gertie, Trude, Princess
Mabelline Jean (aged 1); Nicknames: Mabel, Mabes, Poopy
Augustus George (aged 8); Nicknames: Gus, Goob, Gussy Goo [RIP]

No real real interesting stories behind the first names. I just think, as some would term, “old lady” names are fitting for hounds. Margaret and Jean, however, are the first names of my great grandmother (RIP) and great-great aunt. For Gus (RIP), I really just wanted to call him Gus but I decided on picking a “proper” first name for him (he was always called Gus though). George was my grandfather’s (RIP) middle name.

In the past I had a Chesapeake named Hazel, a Shepherd named Sophie, a Chocolate Lab named Allie and a Yellow Lab named Ghost (may they all RIP).
