Isn't that like the fourth time you've renamed the dog?

Really great names sometimes need time to evolve. Dog breeders have to stick some kind of name on hundreds of puppies every year, but only their new mommy or daddy has the insight and desire to think of the one which really "fits". This is from the mommy of Hazelwood's Krugerrand of Rune, aka "Roo" and Windriver's Ximena Hechicera, aka Shimmy Tail

Belle Starr is the perfect name for my “corgadette”, and it took me a while to decide on it. It incorporates the Welsh word “bel” which I mentioned before and “Star” for the time her arrival into my life (Christmas time), and works well with her kennel name of “Shine” (Ms. Starr Shine or Belle Starr Shine).
Belle Starr was a legendary woman outlaw of the old West. In her youth she attended the Carthage Female Academy, where she excelled in reading, spelling, grammar, arithmetic, deportment, Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and music - learning to play the piano. (Deportment! Heh! Did she ever fool THEM!) Her forebears, like my own on my father’s side, were from West Virginia-Kentucky. She wore buckskins and moccasins or tight black jackets, black velvet skirts, high-topped boots, a man's Stetson hat with an ostrich plume, and twin holstered pistols. She spent much her time in saloons, drinking and gambling at dice, cards, and roulette. At times she would ride her horse through the streets shooting off her pistols. (I LOVE this chick – a woman after my own heart!) Belle Starr had a Cherokee lover named Jim July (I am part Cherokee – my grandmother was full blood Cherokee). Her most famous quote is "I am a friend to any brave and gallant outlaw." What better name for my little friend than Belle Starr? ![]() |
