My 2 year old Granddaughter has started calling me Poppa Puppy because she associates me with our dog Puppy. I think it's got a nice ring to it and I really like that of all the other dogs she knows ours is the one that she gets the most excited to see. The other dogs she knows are tiny dogs that aren't very active but our dog is a pretty big boy and she loves watching him run around chasing geese and other dog stuff like that. I also think she feels secure around him and she knows that the dog will protect her. Cheers!
