I picked up a sad little shiba from an upstate shelter near my hometown. She had been left at the shelter because her owners no longer wanted her…it was the usual excuse…we don’t have time…So I picked her up on the April 21, just five days after she arrived at the shelter. Her 4th Birthday fell on April 17th, nothing like going to the pound for you birthday.
So this no name shiba endured the long drive to the city and all the traffic and noises that went along with it. We took a walk when we finally got home and a family stopped us and told us how beautiful our dogs where and asked if they could pet them. I gave permission for the kids to pet Cadence (my shiba) and said that I was not sure with the other one becuase I had just rescued her from a shelter. So we started talking and the first thing the kids asked was “whats her name,” I told them we were trying to figure out a new name and asked for their help. The two little girls started firing off names and finally someone said Sabrina…and I thought Bri for short would be PERFECT. So Bri it is. I thanked the girls very much for their help and they wished us luck. The next morning we played the name game and she learned her new name in under 10 minutes. What a great way to get a new name!
