What's in a name?
I read on the message board sometimes that people have names for their pouch. I was calling mine "Gretta" after a crazy neighbor lady that lived near us in NY. She'd make all kinds of strange noises. (Actually we called her "Greasy Gretta." But that was just mean and uncalled for and now I'm mature and don't play like that no more, so there! Nah nah nah nah nah!!)
Anyway, with much consideration the past few daze I have decided to change Gretta's name to Dory. Yup, THAT Dory. And here's why, my friends. I'm sure you've seen Finding Nemo, right? Remember the scene where Dory was trying to communicate with the whale? Went something like this:
"OOOOOOOooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA!!" Followed by: "Weeee are tryyyying toooo fiiiind hiiiis sooooon." But my pouch didn't say all that, just first part. Hee.
So there you have it, folks. Another meaningful post from yours truly.
Enjoy the weekend folks!

I love it! Your posts always make me smile. :) It's a great name. I've tried thinking of a name for my pouch, and well I just can't think of anything that fits.
Have a good friday and weekend!

I've had my pouch for 2 years and haven't given her a name. Although, I will give her credit she's always in control. IF I eat a muffin, she'll make me dump. Take medicine, she'll make me dump. Now, my pouch is NOISY! The other night every time I laid on my left side it made these noises. I was afraid it would wake up my husband. Ha!!!
Mare, you are too funny... I just call mine, My Little Buddy. You see, my DH has his own Little Buddy (his ostomy, compliments of colorectal cancer), so since I couldn't come up with anything more fitting, I just call my pouch MY little buddy.
