  • Kirby: 2016 Name-a-Pup Contest Winners

    Each year, those who Adopt-a-Marmot have the opportunity to submit a name for our Name-a-pup contest.  Winning names are drawn in the winter, and then when we identify new pups during the following summer, they are one of the winning names.

    You’ll get an opportunity this fall to submit your name, but before then we thought we’d update you on pups getting named this summer.  There’s no particular order here, and not all pups have a picture – some are just too shy for the camera.

    Let’s start with Kirby. Here Kirby is licking peanut butter off his mom’s face – I’m sure he’s just trying to helpful!
