After much deliberation and prayer,
their names were unanimously chosen:
Bishop Fergus and Sir Thomas Percy
You
may be thinking...hmm, those are odd
names! Well, let us explain...
The
breed of dog is Westhighland White
Terriers. And, as you might
know, they are Scottish by descent!
Therefore, the names that were
chosen have some Scottish/English
connections.
First there is Bishop Fergus (we
just call him Fergus). He is
named after an Irish Bishop who went
to Scotland as a missionary.
Then there is Sir Thomas Percy (we
just call him Percy). He is
the smaller of the two! His
patron is Blessed Thomas Percy who
was martyred in England in 1572.
Sir Thomas was a married layman with
4 children, who served in the
English government under Queen Mary. |
