My late Golden’s name was Doobie. He was named by the breeder and the only one in his litter without a “real” dog name. I got him at 8 weeks and didn’t want to confuse him by changing his name. I figured he had enough changes in his early life by leaving his original dog family. But I sure took a lot of ribbing about his name as I had spent my entire adult life in law enforcement. But when he was about 9 years old, one of the people in my condo complex told me that in Hebrew Doobie meant “teddy bear.” I looked it up and sure enough it did. He was my big teddy bear. He lived to nearly age 13. I miss him every day.

I love the story of how Ace got his name! I adopted Ace in 2015 from a rescue in Ohio. His original family has kept in touch with me, and shared the story of his name! Ace is named after Batman’s Dog, Ace, the Bat Dog! When I adopted him, he was also wearing a batman collar! I kept the name and the collar, not only because I loved it, but for the kids in his original family. Ace has since outgrown his collar, but I replaced it with a larger batman collar! He is the Ace of my Heart!
