After reading my friend  Panzerwing's journal he posted about the names of his inflatable animal friends he has, I kinda wanted to do the same thing too, also including a small back story to some of them like he did with his.

The first three toys I named were those of my Intex sea lions (very rare toys to find).

Cheyenne is the name of my first sea lion from the 1st Generation of sea lions made by Intex, and she was also the very first toy in which I started naming.

Sierra is Cheyenne's little sister. Sierra is from the 2nd Generation of the sea lions made by Intex with a bit more noticeable difference to the model.

Savannah is the baby sister of the three, she too is also a 2nd Gen sea lion.

Mishka my G&G palomino. I ended up buying my palomino from a friend online who knew I was looking for one of the palominos for a long time, and he was selling his as he was moving into a smaller apartment and would not have the room for her any longer. Mishka gets her name from a real life horse who was rescued by a middle-age couple who took her in after she was given up on by her former owners.

Holly my big pouncing tiger. Holly is a very rare toy indeed, as only 10 of them were ever made. Having talked with my friend Thundercats for a long time online he asked if I would be interested in getting in on a custom toy project, I agreed, and then several months later I was presented with my sexy tigress. Holly gets her name from a close friend of mine who is a big time animal lover.

Alexander (or Alex for short) is my Puffy Paws otter. Even before I bought my otter I already had his named picked out. Alex the otter just rolls off the tongue, I think. After seeing my mate's otter (before we started dating) I instantly fell in love with that puffy tummy otter.

Spark my Inflatable World dragon. I acquired Spark from my friend  RyuSyro, he had bought him and had shown me pictures of his dragon and asked me if I noticed anything wrong with him? Spark had a manufacturing flaw and had one of his legs put on backwards lol. Syro contacted IW for a second dragon, which he received for half price due to his concerns with Spark, and they gratefully gave him a new dragon where Syro asked if I would like to buy Spark from him for $50. Needless to say Spark has a new home with me and is well loved, despite his backwards leg. Spark was already named by Syro, so I left his name unchanged.

Wa-Ta-Chee my Puffy Paws wolf (Chee for short). Chee was a spare PP wolfy that my mate had bought and held on for me until I could finally meet him at Midwest Fur Fest last year. Chee gets his name from a real life wolf of the same name which is Lakota for "meeting at the waters of talking spirits". Chee means so much to me, he's always inflated and up in my room, and always gets hugs and kisses from me when I get home from work at night.

My future custom toy I plan on getting next is the Puffy Paws Husky, which I already have two names picked out for him but not sure which one to go with. One is Major, named after a husky that I knew in my neighborhood when I was growing up. Two is Aurora, which is the town closest to where I live, and the high school's mascot is a husky.
