Kingston

It's fun to name puppies. There are a lot of "Buddy" and "Bo," "Denali" and
"Jackson," "Drake" and "Rover." People name their dogs after an idea, what they want the dog to be, or the places in their own life that have been significant.

We often name our dogs after who we are and we display that on our pets. Often they become what we name them. Look out for "Trouble" and "Barker." Most "Killers" I've known have been Chihuahuas, and there are great Danes named "Snugums."

I photographed "Kingston" yesterday in my studio. At 10 weeks old, he has a bit of the Rasta lifestyle around him. A lifestyle that is musical and celebratory. So, what do you name him?

What do you name your pets, and why?
