My sister's dog is named Roxie, which is the name her kids picked out, but she and I always call her Puppers. It seems to suit her better. It's almost a term of endearment. We just love her to pieces and Puppers just seems like a more loving name for some reason to us. She is just the most beautiful dog in the world to me.
