Crayola Crayon Day. Seriously.

March 31^st.  Besides being the last day of the month, it’s Crayola Crayon Day.  Yup.  Another brilliant human holiday.  Well at least it’s a colorful one. And it actually marks the day in 1903 when Crayola Crayons were first sold.  Who knew?

I’ve heard stories of dogs eating crayons and then having multicolored poop – but so far it hasn’t happened in our house.  Note I said “so far.”  Paxton DOES like to eat ballpoint pens – so I’m sure crayons would be equally delectable.

So in honor of Crayola Crayon Day, let’s look at some of the color names – which I THINK could be good names for a dog!  You know how you humans agonize over dog names – only to then create a roster of other names for us as times goes by?  So allow me to pick out some names, using Crayola as a source.  I’ll list them as “boy names” or “girl names” or gender neutral names.  I realize I probably SHOULDN’T label names as male or female, but heck, I’m a dog – so what do I know about political correctness?

So here we go:

Female names:

Cerise

Fern

Violet

Scarlet

Jade

Ruby

Topaz

Orchid

Rose

Male names:

Jasper

Steel

Sonic

Gray – plain and simple!

Brick

Gender neutral names:

Copper

Fuzzy Wuzzy

Blizzard  - I OBVIOUSLY can’t get past this snow thing

Carmine 

Denim

Thistle

Umber

Jelly Bean

Twister – now THAT should have been my name!

Mystic

Shadow

Jazzberry Jam (Jazzy or Jammer for short)

Razzmatazz (Razzy for short)

Crayola has LOADS of colors – these are just a sample – I’m sure there are others that could be used.  As a GENERAL rule, my human sticks to names that are two syllables or less in length.  The longer it takes to get out the name – the further away we can be when we are on the run.  Besides, who would call their dog Tangerine or Asparagus anyway?

If you use one of these suggestions, and you hadn't heard it before, don't forget to tell people where you got the idea.   From Viktor.  Viktor the PON.

Have a Sunglow-y day!
