Follow them on twitter

Bella and Annie now have their own Twitter streams! Find out what they're doing at Bella and annie the beagle.

I can't believe how hard it was to find open twitter names for the two of them.

Sure, I mean, yeah, I expected the names "bella" and "annie" to be taken. Variations for Bella I tried included

1. bellagirl (hasn't been used since August 2008)
2. bellaboo (hasn't used it for over a year, since March 2008)
3. bellabeagle (a legitimate use, I might add)
4. belladog (never used, no followers, no following, no updates)

Bella Cross is the name of the whiskey Kris and I plan to produce. If figure the end of the dog's lifespace and the start of the whiskey enterprise will most likely coincide, in about 2 or so years, so we'll switch away from a dog twitter stream to a whiskey twitter stream some time around then.

Annie's name was horribly hard to find one for, too.

1. anniegirl
2. annieboo
3. anniebeagle
4. anniedog

I eventually gave up and used doggen as the suffix for her name. Kris and I use doggen as the plural of dog when referring to our dogs, so the name doesn't quite work, but sorta does.

So, Bella is "bellacross" on twitter, and Annie is "anniedoggen."

Go on, go follow them now. Yes, that might mean you need to create a twitter account. Heaven forbid I should actually know what's going on in your life. While you're at it, follow me before I degenerate into a black 1982 Pontiac Trans-am, or a 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang. Really.
