OT Name the puppy!
I decided to use my spare time volunteering at the local animal
shelter- y'all know I'm absolutely goofy about dogs. Of course (and you *knew* this was coming! LOL) I came home with a new dog on the very first day of working there. He's absolutely gorgeous! A 7 month old Golden Retriever/Collie cross with a luscious, soft, deep, deep chocolate brown coat with pumpkin colored highlights. His head, muzzle and lower legs are a brindle pattern of the chocolate and pumpkin and his undercoat and the backs of his rear legs are a soft silvery beige. This sweet-natured, cuddly, eager to please and very bright pup came with the name "Spud" which does not suit his elegent looks nor his precious personality and it just will not do. I've come up with Reese (after Reese's peanut butter cups); Baxter (just cuz I like it), Mocha or Bear (he rather looks like a little brown bear). But I'm not really happy with those choices. Please help me find the perfect name for my puppy- nothing too strange or exotic or silly, please. Just a nice descriptive and pronouncable name to suit my newest lovebug.

OT Name the puppy!
I grew up with a lovely German Shepherd named Cinderella! My father
learned a lesson about letting the children name the new puppy just after seeing a Disney movie . . . Seriously, about your wonderful new pup: How about Walnut for his coloring? Or Baxter, or Webster, which are rather dignified names that will suit him as an adult? Or even Walter or Clarence for a whimsical old-fashioned name? Since his heritage and paternity are probably unknown and surely not the usual "approved", how about a name beginning with "Fitz" -- Fitzwalter, Fitzwebster, etc. (Having "Fitz" to begin a name used to denote a royal *******.) |

Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. We had a dickens of a time coming up with a name for our latest male chocolate lab. Since we'd already had a Mr. Hirsh E Barr and a (Hershey's) Nugget it was a challenge. Finally settled on Mr. Toblerone (for the candy bar) and call him Toby. Enjoy your new fur ball. Kim in NJ |

Don't know if this falls into the silly range, how about "Gotcha"
You gotcha a rescue, he got a family, and it sounds like he's got a lot of colors. Or Monet after the painter, his mix of colors sounds like a painter's palette.

My son had a delicate battle with his 3 yr. old (at the time) daughter
when she wanted to name their new dog "Nut Case"! Still searching for the right name for him... Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. Our boy's name is Duncan - it fits - he's part shepherd, the other part we have no idea, but it involves little floppy ears - he's a darling. How about: Scout, Prince, Tucker, Sailor, Finn, Ginnis? You'll know when it fits. Another lucky puppy being adopted - that's where ours came from too - you can get the nicest dogs at the shelter.

How 'bout the very dapper Beauregard, and call him Beau? Of course,
he should have a proper last name, too! (Ami Sims asked for help naming her 'new' golden retriever, ande chose Scooter Sims.) rusty Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. (Groucho Marx) |

Congrats to you all Leslie DD wanted to call one of my pooches
Indifatiguible (sp) and use Indy as a nickname. She was into the Horatio Hornblower movies. Indy isn't so bad but Horatio sounds kind of nice. How about simply 'Gent'? What ever you call him he is lucky to have found a good home with you all. Taria, lots of messages just showed up here for me. "Leslie & The Furbabies in MO." wrote in message ...
