Bauer

Another day, another transport--this one was a formerly stray Golden who was turned in to the local animal shelter. Usually whoever picks up the dog and transports it to the vet gets to give the dog its name. This is actually harder than it sounds--the rescue group tries not to have any dogs with duplicate names, and when you have about 200 dogs a year, you have to go beyond your basics (Bailey, Maggie, Duke, etc.) to find one that hasn't yet been used. I'm terrible at coming up with names, but fortunately my friend Jonathan loves to help. We're big "24" fans, so while watching last night's episode we decided that the lucky boy to break out of the shelter today would be named Bauer.

And would you look at that! He is blond with rugged good looks, just like his namesake! :)
