"Wordless" Wednesday: Beyoncé, the Dog?

I intended for this post to be wordless, but I could help but to write a little bit about this cutie!

Beyoncé

She isn't ours. We met this cutie at a birthday party that we attended over the weekend. Her name is Beyoncé. Before her owner told us her name, he prefaced it by asking us not to laugh. I laughed.

We had a couple of dogs during my childhood when we lived in Hawaii. My dad named them.  Our dogs were named Apollo & Rocky. Those names, to me, sounded like "dog" names...I can't picture my dad calling for "Beyoncé" to "come".  I guess I thought of that when I heard this puppy's name and couldn't help but to laugh!

I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with naming a dog Beyoncé, I just didn't expect to hear that.

What did your name your pet?  Does their names fit personality-wise?  Hear of any unique pet names?

Ear Buds? No Thank You.

I am kind of like Warren from There's Something About Mary.  It's an ears thing.  I prefer headphones with earpieces that go OVER your ear and not IN your ear.  I guess I'll be the dork at the gym with the Walkman type headphones...Unless I can find something more streamlined. Wait - I haven't BEEN to the gym in eons! Well, I am planning on it.  An WHEN I do, I'll want to listen to my own tunes.  Oops! I don't have an iPod.  How silly will I look (not that I care, but you know) with my Sony D-NS505 Portable Sports CD player? Hey, don't laugh.  When I got this baby, she was high end!  I need to get with the times don't I?  Too bad it costs money to get with the times!  Here is my technology wish list that I am NOT BUYING because I am saving up for our sons future instead:

• E-reader
• Tablet
• Camera stuff for vlogging
• iRobot Roomba

Now if someone out there can help me get out of the dark ages, let me know! We have registered to attend The International CES tradeshow which is the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow so maybe I'll get lucky and connect with some of the exhibitors.  I'd gladly volunteer to be a case study on consumer use! YOU NEVER KNOW.
