Excited for Popo

Meet Popo! He’s a golden retriever and we’ll pick him up this Saturday afternoon. I can’t wait.

His name was short for Popovych, after the cyclists Yaroslav Popovych. Before we got to that name, there were several suggestions. First were Sauron or Saruman, after the Lord of the Rings. Next was Piolo, after… well… Fafa Piolo. Then there was Edwin so that it would really sound like a man’s name. There’s also Graham, after the famous cycling photographer Graham Watson. Other suggestions were Hot (dog), Whitey, Sunog, Stef and Tito Boy.

So what do you guys think?

I’ll try to post pictures of him when we pick him up.
