I have three weiner dogs now, and that's a bit much to inflict on anyone. Coletrain stays on the floor at my feet. The other two think they are people.
I'd love to hear how a weiner dog came to be named "Coletrain".?
Is one of the others 'Coleslaw'?
He is named after John Coltrane, the jazz saxophone player. I mispelled his (the dog's) name, but that's where the name came from. Paying homage.
I just get a little strange about names sometimes. Went through a Lonesome Dove phase with my donkeys and bottle calves. Had a Longhorn named Capt. Call, calves named Deets and July and donkeys named Gus, Peach and Newt and Clara.
To date, I don't have any other animals named after jazz musicians, although my mom did have a dog named Minnie Pearl.
My older son is named Steven Stuart, and the Stuart part came from
Stuart Little, the first chapter book I read as a kid. It was the first chapter book I read to both boys, as well. Like I said, I am a little strange when it comes to names.
