Actually that wasn't my name for him..

Hatfield was the name the shelter, that saved his life, gave to him.. Like Gypsie, they both had been through horrific injuries and abuse, requiring multiple surgeries before I adopted them.. I really didn't like the name Gypsie.. Hatfield is was ok with,although I've always said a Beagle name should end with a y or an ie, like Snoopy, Torrie, Lucie, Gypsie and Mauie.. But, i figured they had been through enough so I kept their shelter names so they wouldn't hafta go through learning another new name..

Speaking of Mauie, her shelter named her "Hyacinth" which I just couldn't live with.. i accidentally came across her first shelter's name (she was transferred to a Beagle shelter after being attacked by coyotes and fending them off), which was Maui.. I just added the e and named her Mauie..

I tend to put little nicknames with their names.. Gypsie is teeny tiny, so I nicknamed her "Gypsie Juice Box" because she's the size of a juice box, and Mauie is "Mauie Moose" although her first nickname was "Mauie McCoy" - like Hatfield and McCoy.. I decided that was dark due to the fuel so stayed with Mauie Moose.. Hatfield is just append something that rhymes with Moose every time I say his name, like "Hatty Hoose.. I also call him Goober a lot because he IS a goober lol

If bored, you can read Gypsie's and Hatfield's stories here.. I'm posting links to their initial stories, although their are follow ups you can click on, as well.. I changed Gypsy's spelling to Gypsie:
