Baloo was "Russell" at the pound where I got him but I didn't like it. Baloo is named after the bear in the Jungle Book. In the movie, the bear is blue, and named Baloo. I thought it fit. And my Great Grandmother's maiden name is actually Belew(pronounced the same way) So I went back and forth with how I would spell it and I decided people were more likely to pronounce it correctly spelled Baloo. And he acts like a bear. So we call him Baloo Bear or Blue Bear. Haha

My childhood dog I named Ellie Mae (RIP). I thought I made it up myself but it turns out one of the characters in The Rescuers (that old cartoon with the mice) was named Ellie Mae. I probably watched that movie a million times as a kid. I liked that name a lot. I may have to use it again.

My parents new puppy I helped them name. I suggested Ruger since my dad is a gun nut. It stuck for a while, but they decided to change the name to Bandit because that crazy puppy would steal stuff all the time and just hide it. Stuff that was in a box on a shelf and he'd be walking around the house with it. Crazy dog. Luckily he responds to both because I always forget and call him Ruger.
