Raven's final suggestion was pleasantly surprising to Elwood. She wanted to honor the puppies' godparents with their middle names, and the combinations she came up with made him smile: Elfin and Woodley. He approved.
"I like it," he said. "And not just because I get to have someone else named after me," he added with a chuckle, although he appreciated the fact that his own naming traditions were subtly being honored, though they weren't outright being called Elwoods. Raven might not have realized it, but he felt gratitude nonetheless.
Getting to his feet, he said, "Getting named is hard work. Let's let these little dudes have a nap." He grinned and then delivered a nudge to the cheeks of both Raven and Finley, then gave a parting chuff as he slipped out of the shelter to tend to his non-puppy-related duties.
