I was asked what we named him. Oh my, that took days...it's serious business y'all. Thinking that Yorkies are from the UK I thought an English or Irish name would be fitting, such as: Oliver, Murphy, Brody, Monty, Conley, Brady, Tanner...y'all get the idea. Then we talked about names because he's little: (mini) Cooper or Tim bit/Timmy (OH Canada!) from Tim Hortons which we loved in Michigan. His original nickname is Little Bit, which we still call him from time to time. Sissy liked Toby. SO many names. Funny thing, I had a ton more picked out, but they were all GIRL names thinking we'd be getting a female puppy. God had this little fella hand picked for us and he suits us just fine.
OH...his name?
We were on our way to the park and Little Man had him ready to go. I thought it was precious how he wanted BENJI to be buckled up just like he was. I took his picture and then explained why keeping Benji this way was not a good idea. Benji sat right between the kids the entire drive...an entire 12 minutes. What a good boy! I think he's gonna be a good little traveler. (Yep, the kids choose Benji...then weeks later they realized it was the same name of a dog in a movie. Funny, to me Benji and dog are synonymous.)

thank you for visiting my blog.
your dog look so adorable. I like the picture of him and your boy buckled up, that's so cute. Binji is a nice name.
Hi there, What a cutie pie Benji is and I love the name because I used to have a dog that looked just like the Benji in the movie. Our next dog will have poodle in it-good for keeping the fur at bay. Love how much your son loves him.
Have a blessed week.

What a precious puppy you have. Too cute. I wish our doggie was a better traveler. She is every where.
He sure is cute!!!
He is darling! He looks a lot our little Yorkie. Her name is Sophie and she is wide open all the time!! She is 5 months old too and she weighs a little over 5 lbs.
Love the name your kids picked out. He looks like a Benji to me!!
Have a great week!
Hugs,
Donna

Your doggie is one of the cutest I've ever seen! Benji suits him fine!
Oh what a cutie pie!!!
Benji is the perfect name!
I am a MI girl who loves her Tim Hortons- so I do think Timmy was a good one!;)
He's so cute and your son looks like he's in Heaven! Dogs don't care what you call them as long as you say it with love.
I hate that... our little doggies getting too big! Thats the same thing with cats once their not kittens anymore they ain't cute!!!LOL
PS. thanks for following me!!!
He is adorable! He looks like a little stuffed puppy dog!
Benji has been growing hasn't he?
Gotta tell you; Little Man is looking so much like our youngest boy at that age. ENJOY every minute Shelley... they grow up too fast!
Thank you for visiting and welcome to Florida. I am in Tallahassee and were are you located?
I love little Benji! He's a cutie!
That is the sweetest little dog I've seen in a long time! Such a cutie pie! Amazing how they become such a huge part of your family, isn't it?
What a little cutie! My Mom and Dad had three little dogs. One was a Yorkie and her name was "Little Bit"! She was the cutest and the smartest little sweetie. All are gone now including my parents but the memories are still there.

Hello, It is so wonderful to hear from you, I am so glad you are settled in Florida, and that you are blogging again.
I think Benji is an excellent name. He is adorable.
I know your family is enjoying him.
Blessings and hugs,
Sue
Your dog is absolutely adorable! And so cute. I also liked your pictures from the first day of spring. There's nothing like going to the beach.
Cute puppy or dog!! Bethany has Maltese and a Yorkie. the Maltese weighs about 10 pounds and the yorkie weighs about 4 pounds. The children LOVE having these little fellows in the house! I have never seen a dog so attached to a girl as the maltese is to Bethany. he sits in her lap at the computer, he looks and longs out the window when she is outside. Dogs are fun!!! We also have 3 dogs outside....ugh!!!
That little Yorkipoo is absolutely precious! I have a Yorkie and she got bigger than I was told she would get also...I was like "stop growing!" Your dog has the cutest face ever!
Sorry I am just getting back to you.....Benji is just precious and so is your little man.
Blessings to you!
Hey Shelley,
we have 10 families as of now coming to our fellowship. We do rotate from our house to a conference room at a hotel. Some families drive 1-1 1/2 to come to either place. Its hard to get everyone there, so many children and sickness at times, hopefully when warmer temps get here, the colds will be few.
Oh, I so wish you could help me paint!!
I loved Mt. Dora! Stayed at the Farnsworth Inn on 5th Avenue. You must go to the Windsor Rose Tearoom--awesome tea and food! I also dined at Pices Rising and One Flight Up and Goblin Market. I'll definitely come back again!
What a CUTE dog, and I think the name fits perfectly! :-)
I'm so glad you came over to visit my blog, Shelley, and I'm glad that you've moved to Florida. And yes, Florida is the South, Tallahassee being the only southern capital that didn't fall during the Civil War. ;-) It's just that the futher south you travel, the further north you go. LOL!
Hoping to meet you some time!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Thank you for visiting my blog. And Benji looks like the Benji of dog-movie fame, of which I am a fan. Your Benji is just as adorable, a real cutie. Love his perky eyes!
He is absolutely adorable! I think Benji is a great name!
Oh the puppy is so adorable :)
