Most of our dogs since i was little have been named after beer. My current two are Stella (after Stella Artois) a chocolate lab and Porter (after Michelob Porter) a German Shepherd/Doberman mix. He's also mostly black, and Porter beers are dark beers. My family has owned and operated a beer distributor since 1933, so beer is our life. My parents dogs are Otis, a yellow lab (after Doc Otis hard Lemonade, which, sadly lasted less than a summer in our inventory). The other is Roxy, a black lab, we say after Rolling Rock, but my nephew named her when he was 8. We had Mick, a Keeshond, after Michelob lager, but he passed away about a year ago at the ripe age of 14. We had 2 Golden/Chow mixes named Julie and Trisha, after Richard Nixon's daughters...apparently my dad was a fan. Our other Keeshond was Keesha, named after the runt of the litter of Keeshond puppies my moms dog had as a kid...she died about 2 years ago at 17 years old. Dog names reflect the dog and the people! Porter didnt have a name for about a week because i wanted to find his personality before i named him. Now, his name fits him perfectly. It can be a little crazy sometimes at home with 4 big dogs running around, but at night, when they get in bed with me and rest their head on me, it's the best thing in the world.
