Name for dog

[AXO Alum]

We adopted a cat 2 years ago at Christmas - his name (which my then 2yo gave him totally on his own) is Jingles.

Centaur - OMG!! Your cat totally is a twin to my Twenty (named for Tony Stewarts #20 Home Depot Chevy - Woo Hoo!! NASCAR rednecks unite!!)

Leave it to us to have everything in common bwahahaha

Hahaha we rule! I love my baby (we still call her The Baby, even though she's like the second oldest cat in the house now out of 6). When we first got her, my brother got a putting green/mat thing for christmas and she was so small she could cram almost her entire body into the hole.
I'll be inconsolable when she dies.
Pics of yours plz!

I'm sure you've already done this, but if the dog didn't have a collar, did you take him by the vet to make sure he wasn't microchipped?

Lots of people who spend a lot of money on pure-bred dogs (even lots of people with mixed breeds) spend the $10 to get their dogs microchipped in the event that they get lost and lose their collar.

I only ask, because someone is probably missing their doggie right now

My dog's trainer once told me a story of one of her friends who adopted a stray dog and took it to a dog festival where a clinic there was doing free microchipping. Before they inserted the chip, they obviously scanned the dog to ensure it wasn't already chipped. Well, this dog turned out to already have a chip and they had the dog for over 2+ years. They ended up finding the original owners and giving the dog back.

It's a sad story

wow! how awesome is this! the weekend before halloween, we bought a pekingese! actually, we had one for 17.5 years, and then we had to put him to sleep because he was going blind and could barely walk...not to menton he was deaf for a few years already!

anyway, we bought another pekingese about 1 month later. He is also white! He has green eyes and is the cutest thing!

I named him Parker James! He is such a little prep because he has like a plaid collar and everything!

of course. I really feel like I did everything that I could possibly do. I put a found ad in the paper. I called the number on the dog's tag with no response (numerous times since Christmas Day). He has his last name on the tag and I called everyone in our phone book with that last name (luckily it wasn't all that common of a last name). No one knew of the owners. I felt bad calling these people on Christmas day, but I just knew someone was missing their dog and they might be having a large family gathering and someone would know who they were. I looked in the phonebook and their address is unlisted. I also called the vet clinics close to my house and no one had a record of him. We got in touch with animal control who checked the dog out and kept him for the required amount of time (7 days- plus the weekends and holidays- they also tried to contact the owners) and we officially adopted him. He wasn't microchipped before, but he is now! He also didn't have his rabies/immunizations tag. But he does now.
People have been known to drop animals off in our neighborhood hoping that someone will take them in. I don't know if that is what happened here, b/c it seems like they would have sold him.

As far as I'm concerned the previous "owners" do not deserve this dog. It is sad b/c he is an adorable, playful, young dog.
And by the way....We named him Blitzen.... "Blitz" for short. christmas and football theme.

When I was growing up, the kid around the corner had a dog that his dad named Sob. Also male, of course.

Thanks!!! But that isn't his picture. That is just a picture that I found online of a dog that looks as close to him as I could find. I'll post a picture when I get them loaded on my computer.


and Tom, I don't think that's going to work. haha

I like Noel or Kris Kringle.

Champion? You're anything but!

We could call him Tiger, but there's no bite in him!
Tiger? Kittens would frighten him!
Rover, why don't you think it over?!
Rover is the perfect name for this dumb lookin' dog!

Sandy, Sandy's his name if you please.
If you don't believe me, ask anyone of the fleas.
Residing on Sandy, truly a pedigreed Sandy,
there ain't no better breed!

And he, really comes in handy!
Especially when you're all alone
in the night and small
and terribly frightened

It's Sandy!
Sandy, he'll always be
There.

You suck. \m/

My nieces got a puppy for Christmas and they named him Mele, after Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas in Hawaiian).

Mele also means "song".

I adopted my "baby" while I was in school. She is a MUTT if I've ever seen one (I'm a veterinary technician, too); part: lab/cocker spaniel/chow. Basically, she looks like a black, lab puppy ---and she's on my feet, underneath the computer desk as I'm typing.. I named her Roxy. At the time, I loved Roxy clothing and "Roxy" as a girl's name sounds a little too "va-va-voom", in my opinion. Initially, she weighed 25lbs. and needed to grow into herself; I didn't notice that she was part lab until she put on weight (about 20lbs..haha). The name suits her b/c Roxy's body moves independently of itself; when she walks, she "shakes what her Mama gave her." She's really pretty but also loves the outdoors and beach, so I guessed right when naming her.
