In the meantime, I'll think of some names but it comes easier to me if I have a picture. Do you know if you'll get a male or female or undecided at this point? Hey, Chicklet sounds pretty good!
Our foster care people changed Paul's name to Sport and then we picked him up with that handle. The old woman who got him from the Sumter County Humane Society had to give him back to them because she could no longer take care of him. She had named him Paul. The foster family husband was Paul. And it was NOTHING but confusing.

I like the name Ripley for a dog after the character in Alien and its sequels.
