Identity Crisis 2010

I think that 2010 will be known as the year of my dog identity crisis.  We started the year as Hi-FiAussies - then tried out the name Jammin' Aussies for a while but for a variety of reasons didn't hang on to that (see older blog post on this topic for more detail).  Then I decided a few months ago to go with One Drop Aussies and for the most part I still like that name BUT... while searching for names for Spice I came across a word I hadn't seen before.  The word didn't work out for a name for Spice (though might name a boy dog a portion of the name in the future) but I shared it with Jack and we've been discussing switching from One Drop to it.  We haven't gotten any banners or discs or anything with One Drop except for the website - somewhat because I haven't been willing to pull the trigger so to speak.  So what is this new name we are seriously considering?  Zimzala!  Zimzala Dogs to be precise.  What the heck is that?  It's a surf term that means "a free spirited person who finds peace with the sand between their toes".  That pretty much sums up Jack and I both.  Of course it means ocean sand but maybe sand from the disc dog field counts too!  ;)  One Drop connected us to our love of the islands through it's reggae roots but I felt a bit constrained by the reggae theme.  This gets us more where I wanted to be originally.  I've run it past a couple of folks and it got the thumbs up - more enthusiastically than One Drop did.  So... very likely you'll see this blog name change again!  :)  A new website too of course!  Hopefully this one will stick!
