Puppy Names and Naming Fetish :D


This is going to be my first post.I will soon post an introduction and elaborate
why i chose this name for my blog.

Ok Let me begin,My current obsession are dogs :D

A friend of mine has a doggess(doggess is a she dog .Its an actual word i didn't coin it.I refuse to use the other term for a she dog because evolution of language has given it several meanings over the years.It has almost become a derogatory word.And i feel such a term should not be used for an animal as cute as her) named Jenny and she is the most adorable thing ever.She is a Papillon (i think).Whenever i go to my friends house i look around  for her.She never barks at me (come to think of it i have never heard her bark :-o)she allows me to pat her,and tries to lick me too . :D
She is the most docile dog i have ever seen. Although this makes her practically useless as a guard dog.Agar usko thoda sa hadkao toh she starts cowering  and flinches :P . She is afraid of other neighbourhood dogs too.Even earlier i liked dogs but from a distance only.I never had the courage to go near one and pat it.The fear was mainly the outcome of being nearly chased and bitten by a Pomeranian in my tiny tot days.I still have a strong aversion for Pomeranian .I feel they are noisy, irritating and bark too much :-/

However my recent obsession is all thanks to Jenny.So when the other day another friend( i will refer to her as Lucky Chick henceforth.Lucky because she is getting a puppy and chick because she is one :P)  of mine told me that she is going to get a pup i was euphoric :D . I was adamant that she get a she pup.Her uncle's Labrador  was having puppies and he was going to give her one.I immediately started suggesting names also.I have a fetish for naming everything you see.I suggested Zoey but she didn't like the name much.So i told her i will come up with some more names later.Lucky Chick then told me her college friend has a dog whom he has named Babu Bhai. :P She said so with a wrinkled up nose to show her distaste for the name and it was also a silent warning for me not to come up with something as wacky as that.I on the other hand thought that the name was a stroke of genius.It got me thinking that we need not give firangi names to our pets.
Later when i was online the other day i had a discussion abt Puppy names with a another mutual friend(whom i will refer to as Lukhi. Err.... because she is one of course and a cousin (whom i will refer to us Hapless cousin because i bug him in chats every night and he has no other option but to listen to the loquacious me. :P)
A part of the chat i have reproduced here. U will notice an excessive mention of "Shaadi" in it .It's all because of the influence of a  new friend of mine who is obsessed with bubblegum romance and is in her own words "Mujhe Shaadi karni hai" types.In the chats I have given my own comments and insights in brackets.

Take One
me: pata pata Lucky Chick might be getting a pup :D :D
