I have printed and filled-out forms for to ILP Rudy with AKC, taken
appropriate pictures, etc. I'm ILP'ing him for future entries into
hunt tests (I hope) and obedience trials (maybe). Now I need a name.

I like to pick names that have something to do with his circumstances,
and it doesn't necessarily have to relate to his "call" name.

A few things about Rudy:

He came from a puppy mill with "America's Pet Registry" pedigree with
such lovely registed names as "Button UR Zipper Additude" and "Red
Riding Hood Additude" as his parents - they go downhill from there.

He went through 2 homes, and failure at a shelter

He came here right before Christmas (hence "Rudy")

If I had *planned* on keeping him, he would have gotten an obscure
character name from "Peanuts", as a call name.

He became "mine" on my birthday.

I think I've gushed enough about him to give a hint of his
personality, and he's quite handsome to boot.

So - creative minds - help me!

How about working Red Letter Day into the equation? It points at
his color, his name, and your birthday. It would also be a nod to
having gotten him at Christmas time, as red letter days were
originally holy days.

It's appropriate to include the kennel in to the registered
name. I propose "America's Pet Registry Sux."

I think I may need to abbreviate - only 25 characters allowed and that
goes over even before his name! How about "APR Sux......."

Oh yeah? None of us is as stupid as all of us, either.

To reply, unleash the dog.

Heh - I haven't yet, but leaning toward Red Letter Day. I like the
rhythm of the name as well as the meaning.

After just watching another episode of _Dog Whisperer_, I had a
brane flash: How about "CM's Red Zone Rudy"?

Wow Matt - you're so full of ummmmm - "ideas"! Thanks, but no! Not
to mention that I can't even fathom Rudy ever being a red zone kinda
dog! ;-D
