NORMAN — Holding a handful of Uno cards, Patty Gasso clicked through pictures of puppies on her computer during a family game night nearly six years ago.
Suddenly, a 2-month-old goldendoodle popped up on the Oklahoma softball coach's screen. She knew in an instant that would be the Gasso family's first dog.
The problem?
The dog was in California, and her name was Paulie.
“I want that dog, but I've got to change the name,” Gasso remembers thinking that night.
She looked down at her handful of Uno cards, and it all came together.
