How I was given my name

When I was first brought home with Margaret and Colin I don't think they knew what to call me. 




Colin, my new dad, had prepared a special name plate for my sister who they had expected to be collecting from the breeder but as she had had an operation and was in hospital they had changed their minds about her and chosen me instead.

The next 2 photos were taken on the day I went to live with my new mum and dad.



Dad spent quite a bit of time looking at names for puppies on the internet. A neighbour suggested "Broc" as a good Spanish name and it was due to this that I was given the name "Rocky" which I really like.


At one point it was suggested that I should be called "Brexit" but I'm glad mum and dad didn't settle for that! A further suggestion was "Rocky-Brexit" which is quite appropriate as it sums up what seems to be actually happening in the current negotiations.
