As I was reading all the wonderful stories about how people came up with their dogs name, it was good to find out that I wasn't the only one having problems. My family has always waited till they got what ever the animal was at the time to see what their personality would be before they produced a name. We had a dachsund and her litter were named after Gun Smoke charatchers. But all the good names were taken so we named her Pink Petti Coat Patty. Patty was what we named her cause at my Moms house we had hardwood floors throughout and you could hear her patting around the house.

But getting a corgi was different. I had wanted one for so long and this was to be MY dog. I searched all over the web for names and meanings. It was going to be Bailey for a long time until one night I was serching the web and I looked up Welsh names for the hunderenth time and the name Dooley just popped out at me. I screamed it out in the house and my husband came running and was like, What is wrong? The feeling I had was just of happiness and excitement. I knew then that is what I would name him. And his name just fits him perfect, because he is the happiness and excitement in my life.
