while the name "rosie" might seem fairly obvious at first glane (see the pink dog in my sig), we actually went through quite a few names before finally naming her after our favorite stomping grounds in portland, ME. they have a "yankees suck" sign hanging over the bar, how could i NOT love it??[

"varitek" is fairly self explanatory if you know anything about baseball. if you don't, "varitek" is the catcher for the BoSox, and the team captain. when we were naming the dog, it was going to be a Red Sox name for sure, but we went through quite a few before deciding that his personality was a perfect match for the player we see on the field- stout and sturdy, never say die, strong enough to take on anyone barrelling towards home plate, confident shot-caller, and quite adept at handling a ball
] since nobody can seem to understand "varitek" unless they know baseball, we call him "Tek" for short.
