There have been quite a few suggestions for a new name for Poacher and I've been having a think about it (w00t)

I don't want to change the sound of her name so I thought I would check the translation of Pocha in spanish and italian.

In Italian Pocha means "little" or "small" :wub:

In Spanish Pocha means "haricot bean" :blink:

Now, Poacher isn't very small so the Italian option isn't quite accurate but ...... a haricot bean, mmmmm :- " Why, you may ask, would I even think of calling my beautiful girlie after a haricot bean???? :unsure:

Easy! .......... I went outside this afternoon with the gang and left Pocha safely indoors. Or so I thought

I had walked down to the stable yard and turned round to find a very happy whippy running towards me (on three legs!) (w00t)

I puzzled over how she had got out through two closed doors as I carried her back to the house. I was astounded when I realised that she had jumped up onto the kitchen worksurface and pushed the window open wide enough to jump out and set herself free!!!! (w00t)

And this is a girl with a badly injured hind leg!!!!!!!!!!! What an athlete she must be :thumbsup:

So is she to be A Haricot Jumping Bean????? :lol:
