Gypsie was our dog - a Shih Tzu. She would have been 14 in February 2008. I had to have the vet put her down January 21, 2008 - she was in kidney failure.
Gyps was always very spunky and stubborn, but she never chewed anything or really caused any trouble. We miss her but she will be remembered.
I started calling her Gypsie Doodle to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy and it just stuck.
When we needed a name for the soap company my husband just chose her name. At first I thought it was weird, but it's memorable and very close to our hearts.
My husband's neice created our first sign (she's a graphic design college student and works cheap, for now). She associated the name with our dog and put two dogs on the graphic. Then people thought we were selling dog soap.
We now have a doggie soap - Stewie - named after our friends' dog "Stinky Stewie". He's not so stinky after his bath...
