His Name is "Moe"

"So what are you going to name your new friend?" Tommy's mom asked.

"Moe",  he answered without hesitation.

"Why?" 

"I don't know, he just looks like a Moe."  
"Hey Moe" called Tommy.  The little puppy's ears perked up and he wagged his tail.  "See, he likes it" shouted Tommy as Moe bounded toward his friend.

  2. Hey, I like this kid. He's goes with the flow; no baby name books for him, right?

    This was very nice 55. It was cute in a good way because it made me smile when I read it.

    p.s. Stop by if you can. I have a guest writer up at my site. I know she'd love to hear from you. It's her first time actually publishing her fiction:~)

  13. Aw, reminds me of my little dog. Came with a hideous name that I simply had to change, and I'd test her on the old one to see how well stuck it still was occasionally. The day she stopped coming to "missy" and knew she was entirely and only "Allison" was a happy day indeed!
