I don't know if rebecca has read about me and Taxi but, I did name my dog Taxi. I thought it would be interesting to hail a cab in the middle of the woods, but it sure got her a lot of attention and good comments. Sadly, I had to put her down last week, on nov 11 2011 due to cancer, Taxi was almost 13 years old. Not bad for a First Nation reserve dog! she will be greatly missed.

There have been one or two dogs at the dog park with the same name, but more embarrassing, I"ve met <b>people</b> there with the same name. It's also the name of a close friend's nephew. I almost wish I'd named him Fido. Personally, I don’t believe in giving animals human names– and then I went ahead and did it, though on my blog he’s simply Our Best Friend (or OBF).
