Ginnie was chosen because she had only been given a name when she went into rescue, she hadn't got used to that name so she became Ginnie, 'GIN' for short which reflects Ginnie's sometimes wilful nature by despatching a furry toy (similar to a sparrowhawk eating it's prey )
COBI is the smaller very dark dog, and whilst we were travelling up the M6 to Jan's we were saying various names, and then disagreeing with each other, something short, 'cos we knew we might be saying it over and over again if she was anything like our previous goldens!
My Husband knew someone from years ago ( in his happy carefree days before being married!!!!!!) she was a friend of the Dutch family he used to stay with, and her name was Cobi (someone asked me if I minded our dog being named after a girl I'd never met, but my Husband had known... not in the slightest I said) I've since found out that Cobi was the mascot for the 1982 Barcelona Olympics, and also there is a toy called Cobi.
All our dogs have had their names shortened except Jade, Gemma - Gem, Ceili - Cales, Jasmine - Jazz, Abigail - Abby, and now we have Gin. and Co. who have been the best two yet for immediately getting on together from day one.
which one is Cobi and which one is Ginnie?
