Lately we have been discussing B Man and his adventure with us. Since he has been overcoming so many obstacles and now ready for adoption, we wanted to give him a new name that embraces all of this. First let me explain where the name B Man even came from.
When this little fellow came into our lives, he had no name or place we knew as his home. We took him in and here, all our babies need good names. At first he was Stray but we actually had a doggie in the hospital whose actual name was Stray. Too much confusion when we were trying to work on him.
First came Bullet! It was a strong sounding name and he actually had a bullet in his back. This name was something we came up with quickly just so we could get closer to him. Eventually the name was shortened to B Man. Saying Bullet seemed to be a constant reminder as to what brought him to us. So B Man stuck until now.
Some cultures put a great emphasis on a names meaning. In Hawaii a name holds great meaning and they believe that you take on the character of your name. So what do you name a strong spirited boy that has over come obstacles time and time again. While our staff member was out on the beach with B man and his wheelchair, it dawned on her. How about Armstrong! As she said, he loves his wheels and he is a fighter.
So we would like to introduce Armstrong to everyone. He is starting over and we know he will continue to display the strong characteristics of his new name! Also please remember our little boy still needs a good home. ~AP
