Jack Blake

As we were driving home we knew the first decision that needed to be made was what Fonzi's new name would be. The first name we chose was Jameson, a type of Whiskey. We liked this because it fits in the theme of our cat Whiskey, but also because it is one of Ted's favorite alcohols. So the decision was made, that this was Jameson! We sent out a text message to Ted's family that said 'Meet Jameson!' with a cute picture of him attached.

We started talking about the name a little bit more, and we realized that 'Jameson' is a bit of a mouthful. It's three syllables which isn't very easy for training purposes. And if we were to shorten it, it would probably be to Jim, a name that neither of us liked. So we were back at square one!

But then we thought of Jack. It was perfect! Quick and easy to say, and still in the whiskey family because of Jack Daniels. And there were even more reasons that we liked it including song references like Jack Straw. And the name just really felt right. We started calling him Jack from then on!
