Millen's Mountain Dew

We've had the name "Millen" planned for several years and were just waiting for the puppy to come along.  We've been fans of a race/rally/hill-climb driver named Rod Millen for years, and one day Chris suggested that "Millen" would make a good name for our future yellow lab.  Once we got Millen, we had to decide on an ostentatious name to use for the AKC registry.  "Millen's Mountain Dew" came to mind very quickly.  Here's the story:

In July of 1999 we traveled to Colorado Springs to watch Rod drive in the Pike's Peak Hill Climb.  Rod is the record holder in this race, and because of this Pike's Peak has been dubbed, "Millen's Mountain."  We signed up for an all-inclusive day tour that included a ride up and down the mountain, the spectator ticket, a t-shirt, and a pre-packed lunch.  What was inluded in the lunch?  A 20oz bottle of Mountain Dew!  Chris and I quickly called our beverages "Millen's Mountain Dew!"

To tie this in even more to our puppy, in her ancestry from the AKC, Millen's Grandmother on her father's side is named "Horsecreek's Do The Dew".
