Miss Fluff

One of my dogs had to go to the vet today. She seems to be in a little pain - she yelped the other day when my daughter sat next to her on the couch. The vet thinks she is getting arthritis and gave her some medicine. They want her to come back next Friday for bloodwork and X-rays just to make sure. Her name is Fluff. Fluff used to be her nickname. When we got her, she was named Bitsy, but she was so extremely Fluffy that we called her Fluff. Finally we called her that so many times that she came to see it as her name. And it was a good thing, too. My mother got a new dog and named her Bitsy. I tell my mother all the time that she stole my dogs name, to which she always replies "Well, your dog had another name you could use." So far I haven't been able to come up with an answer to that.
