No arguments in our home naming pets.
All dogs were called 'Dog.'
All cats were called 'Puss.'
Even today when I pass the time of day with dog walkers when out walking, I still say "Hello Dog" to their pets. Sad!

I think I have forgotten the names of most of the dogs I have met at the Lake Paradise Dog Park as I only go there a few times a month.

Andy is one of the dogs I met who goes to multiple dog parks. Tony another.

Some more names of dogs around the Villages or vicinity: Lucy, Weasley (after the family in the Harry Potter novels and movies), Glitter (and that name really fits that dog), many a Sandy, Max, Dixie, Chase, Katie, Rusty, Simon, Pippa, Nadia, Brodie, Brady, Chewy, and Tanya with Tucker.

Just remembered Heidi, Pru, Chico, and Rita.

I saw Heidi push a level water bottle with a bowl at its end into a hole with her head so that the water flowed into the bowl. Smart German Shepherd.

Chico and Rita team up in their big yard to come at prey from different sides like some kind of 21st century velociraptors. They have caught and killed a number of squirrels, mice, kittens :(, and other critters.

If I get the Green Light without asking for it I will move with the speed of Nucky lightning and you can name me dog Bubkis or you just call him or her Bean's. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

We watch dogs every so often for friends and our friends' friends. We accept no drama dogs if you know what I mean. We had the sweetest little girl named Cinnamon last week and I miss that little pup. A fine animal and a credit to her parents.

We watched two German Shepards for my son several months back and overall they were cool but this isn't the time of life for me to be dealing with two behemoths like Tank & Shiloh!

When the time comes, 100% rescue only, no discussion. They need us.:)

We had a canary named Jerome Bettis.

I recall a dog named Tank but only vaguely and did know a pooch named Shiloh but she passed last year.

I hope you get your own dog soon. They are great sources for calming.

I would probably not name my puppy Butkus, but then they would probably not name their humans Sally either.

Real Dogs have Real Names!!
 

Our twins are Ricky and Lucy. Next ones will be Fred and Ethel.

I know a Nick and a Nora rather well but Nick passed recently. Nora seems to be handling it very well. Took care of a Chuck and his mother Heather. These were two Westies. Chuck would get me up at 5:30 AM by pushing his head against my side if I was not up by his regular feeding time. His owner used to be a Lt Commander in the Navy and would get up at 5:30 every morning.

Fergus was another Westie who would come to the dog park and never want to get out of a stone circle around a tree where he would hunt the geckos in the vegetation under the tree. That's all Fergus would do. Get out to pee and poop but that was usually on the way in the beeline he would make to the stone circle.

Came across a Pepper tonight and was looking for some Salt. I have met other dogs named Pepper and do remember a Salt as well in that family.

And a Ralph. And maybe a Kramden.


Beau loves a pooch named Charlie. Another male dog. It is kind of a bromance but is also about dominance.
