The Love of My Life

Bobo is a lovely Himmy who is as beautiful inside as out! I first wanted to name him "Dvorak" after a favorite composer, but the name was clumsy to say, and just didn't fit.

My daughter and I noticed things he did that seemed a little... obtuse. Like the time he snagged his paw on the fishing rod hanging on the hall tree. Only, he didn't seem to notice or care.

So we jokingly called him "Dummy Bob." (I know, not very nice - AND not true!) Anyway, "Dummy Bob" got shortened to "Dummy Bo," and then "Doe Bo," and finally, "Bobo" - where it has been for seventeen years!

And we finally figured out that he WASN'T being obtuse or dumb - he was being COOL!!
