Heidi's First Walk of Shame


We took Heidi for her first walk this morning!  She finally has all her puppy shots, but she won't be 100% immune until next week, so she's still not allowed to go to the park and play with other dogs.  But we took her for a little stroll around our neighborhood today and she was ever so excited.  In fact, she was so excited she vommed.  Right outside the front of our house.  It was like a really bad walk of shame at 8 am.

You know, since she is a pedigree dog she received a "show name" from the Kennel Club - Meadowlane Marlene.  How ridiculous of a name is that?  It makes her sound like a 65 year old smoker, you know with a hoarse voice that can only be the result of smoking since the age of 12.  And the Meadowlane part of her name sounds like a nickname she got when she became a Madame.  Can't you just picture her, cigarette hanging of her mouth, blonde curly wig, and a cheap bottle of beer between her paws saying as she swirls her words in a raspy voice, "Room number 4, honey...."

  4. Too cute! I must add, though, that "Marlene" is a classic German name. Now that I think of it, "Heidi" is really a Swiss name. I think you need to rename her!

  5. Ah Dr. Heller!! YOU (and a babynaming website) gave me your German stamp of approval on the name! Now you're telling me it's swiss. Jeez. haha. The breeders named all the puppies after characters from this British comedy show - Only Fools and Horses.

  7. P.S. Nice boots.

    oh, and the vomming part you better get used to. Maggie is over a year old and still pukes on a regular basis. Just last Friday she spent all day puking up some bedding she ate the day before.

  8. LoL! Oh that's soo funny and endearing! A great first memory. I'm surprised they didn't let you choose her AKC name? Chloe's is J & J's Love At First Sight. I had to be creative. hehehe. She's darling.
