Thanks for everyone who entered! A lot of creative and fun guesses.

 

Here's the winner of the "Name my puppy contest!"

I asked you to tell me three things...

1. His name

2 and 3. Two reasons why I gave him this name.

 

Many of you guessed his name: Chip

 

Two reasons why:

Obviously - I'm a chip carver :-)

and...he is colored like a chocolate chip! 

 

the winner is The Rev. Canon Michael A. Pomeroy! 

Congratulations!

 

A fitting prize for you is a chip carved candy jar filled with chocolate chips!
