Whaaaat!! Super exciting.

Keep coming and we'll keep writing!

I think this calls for a contest. A contest that has to do with something cute and something necessary and something awesome. Ready for this? Here's the deal. My darling friend Whitney just rescued a sweet 12-week-old blue pit bull puppy. That's the cute. This little lovebug needs a name; names are necessary. Leave a comment by SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13th AT 6:00PM with name suggestions. If Whit picks a name that you thought of, you can choose between one of two prizes - because prizes are awesome: (1) a prize pack full of Nylabone DuraChew toys and a variety of treats for your dog, OR (2) a $50 Target gift card. It's your choice if you win! Whitney obviously picks the winner. Because it's her puppy. Makes sense.

Whitney wanted me to tell you a little bit about this adorable pup, so in her words... "He's a rescue, a cuddle bear, timid and nervous, and he likes wrestling with Roxie already [Whitney's 3-year-old bundle-of-joy pit bull]. I like dog names; so I will not call this dog Joe, Dan, or Mike. [So she would have probably named Claire something like "Mittens" or "Oreo" if Claire was hers]. This puppy was rescued through a connection at CrossFit Music City and I am open to naming him after a WOD, if appropriate [In CrossFit culture - of which I am not a part of - this apparently means "Workout of the Day" which I believe are actually named after people]. I'm not open to any stereotypical pit bull names because my dogs are breed ambassadors and he will be too - although, I am considering B.I.G. (as in Notorious) because I like his music (and music in general - rap, classic rock, indie, pop, what-have-you)."

Here are some pics of Cute Puppy, courtesy of Whitney, to help you brainstorm some ideas. Have fun and good luck!
