| How I Got My Name | Her Mom’s Name is Haley. Her Dad is a Champion Field Golden. Comet is derived from the Latin word, Cometa. Comet [English]: A celestial body consisting mainly of ice, dust and gas (ha) orbit around the Sun and having a “long tail” of matter blown back from it by the solar wind as it approaches the Sun. Cometa [Latin]: 1. Woman with long flowing hair. 2. A type of Heavenly body which leaves a trail of light behind it when it moves. After setting foot in and taking charge of our home, it was clear… She was Comet! |
| Other Names Considered | As I stated above, puppies most often name themselves… That said, I had these names also under consideration: Emily I love irony, and I thought it might be comical to give a hellion pup a very calm, librarian-type name. Banjo She came from Alabama, mostly on my knee. |
| My Intro | I’m happy. I’m golden. I’m pretty. And I’m sweet. I have a great job and a good sense of humor. Contrary to what you were taught in Astronomy, the world DOES revolve around Comet! |

| Back Story | The Unexpected Puppy. Life sometimes throws turbulence and crosswinds in your path. I was neck deep when the phone rang one day… My Friend called to tell me she had The Perfect Puppy for me. I said “Thanks, but no, no, NO… Wait. When did you say they were born?” Eight puppies were born that very day. That day was The Birthday of My Most Loyal Companion, The One Who was Keeping from Drowning in Sadness… My Wellington. I had expressed the thought that the only thing I had to do was outlive him… And lo… A Comet is Born. On Wellington’s Birthday. |
