Kathryn!!!

Surprise?
Interesting name for a town. What's the story behind that (most town names have some story, sounds like this one would be interesting!)
 
Thanks Lisa, I'd really appreciate it. I don't like my current vet, well, it is not so much him personally, just his take on vaccinations. Every time I go there, they are all over me that I need to get the yearly booster shots, basically accusing me of being irresponsible.

The breeder seems to have kind of a similar stands on vaccinations as I do, so I would think his vet shares that and Chandler is just around the corner from me. At least closer than Surprise.

Kathryn, yes, we have a lot of "weird name" towns. I just went for a LOOOOONNNGG drive through the prairie :) today through towns called Superior and Klondyke (needless to say I kept thinking about ice cream :) ) I think there also is a township called Dead Man's Basin (or something like that) and Rattlesnake something.
Remember, we live in the Wild, Wild West ;-)

Have a great day everyone.

That reminds me of when my stepmother was helping a friend clean out her mother's attic, and they found a box with old clothes in, labeled "dead man's pants"!

That doesn't make it sound good to me either. Needless to say, I crinch everytime I drive throught the dead man's bassin. I liked Klondyke much better, but it put 5 lbs on my scale just driving through it right there. Time for Cathe's Bootcamp DVD :)

Still don't know what the background of the name Surprise, AZ is. Anyone who knows, please shed a light on it :)

Im not sure the exact meaning of Surprise but its something like the lady that named Surprise did so with the thought that is would be a surprise if it was ever accepted as as a town.
Have a great day!!
Lisa:)
