What's in a name?








Hi every one,


Its nearly Christmas and at some stage over the holiday I'm going to see my friend Boris, he lives with his Mummy and Daddy close to Cambridge, he is a Ridgeback and Mastiff cross, a real hunk! This is us the last time I went to visit him, now you may be wondering why I asked the question 'Whats in a Name' well I don't understand, that I know Mummy and Daddy as Mummy and Daddy, but Boris know them as Lesley and Paul, weird why is that? Likewise Boris knows his Mummy and Daddy as Mummy and Daddy but I know them as Sharon and Gary, why do Mummy's and Daddy's have two names. I'm confused.


The real reason for the question though is, when we are all together, why does our two names cause so much laughter amongst our Mummy's and Daddy's and all their friends, what is funny about two dogs called Boris, Becka can anyone tell me. I think its something to do with Sharon being a Wimbledon tennis line judge, but as I don't know what tennis is I'm only guessing.


Boris' Mummy and Daddy are different from mine, you see he is allowed to sleep on the furniture at home, probably because he is so big he sort of sleeps where he wants, but my Mummy and Daddy have, on the other hand, banned me from all the furniture and beds in the house. When I last visited Boris, however I discovered the delights of the sofa and despite the fact that his Mummy and Daddy can't move him off his favorite spot on the couch, he was willing to give it up for me, thats real Girl Power! That's my bed that he curled up on below me, I think this is where I should be, but Mummy and Daddy disagree, so once I got home it was back to the bed on the floor. I'm really looking forward to going to see Boris again!


We are preparing for Christmas at home, we have a big tree in the lounge! I sort of remember this from last year, doesn't smell much like a tree though, at least not like any of the trees outside. Father Christmas is coming again this year, I remember him from last year although I never got to meet him he brought me lot's of nice pressies, chewy things, toys and some really tasty treats. Apparently I have to have been a good girl or I don't get pressies, and you will remember I did chew big lumps out of the kitchen a little while ago, but we had some more snow recently (remember I told you about snow) and Mummy and Daddy like to watch me play in the snow so I may have redeemed myself. I think I have, Mummy and Daddy seem to have very short memories when I'm naughty, which is lucky. I'll let you know what I get for Christmas in the New Year. Hope you all have a super time I know we will Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

Love Becka XXXX
