We found girl-dog today. It was so hard to choose among all the dogs at
the shelter, but I had a thin-slice moment with her. She was in a kennel
with a 14 week-old pup, who was harassing her, and then snapping and
snarling at her when she walked near his food dish. (Bratty, but a spunky
little devil, too - he was about 1/3 her size.) Girl-dog didn't seem
perturbed; she play-bowed, and then she gently placed her paw on his back,
trying again to entice him to play. He wanted to continue barking and
snarling over the food, so she just turned around, saw us at the gate, and
walked over to offer a sniff and a few finger kissies. She had me with
that gently-placed paw.

She's a Lab mix, about 40 lb, short hair, cream with a dark snout, about 1
year old. Seems very calm and gentle, likes having her tummy scritched,
knows how to fetch and lean into a leg for a pet. The folks at the
shelter know nothing about her; she was picked up running loose and held
for 2 weeks, but no one claimed her, so she became available last Sunday.

She will be spayed Friday morning, and we will pick her up Friday
afternoon. One dog-sized hole in our home will soon be filled :-D .


Congrats!!

Now, for a name... Suggestions?


Cali was almost Maya. If I would have seen Eight Below before I got her,
she would definately have been Maya instead of it just being a possibility.
I also like Penny and Kenzie. Not matter what name you go with, I can't
wait to hear the good stories and more importantly, see pictures!

Congrats on your new addition! In my family, blonde girl dogs tend to be
"Sadie". I don't know why, just 'tis. But I would lean towards Kayla or
Kaia (k-eye'-ah). I have a thing about "K"s.

I do like Layla, and it's a very fine song.
Karla

My sister-in-law (hubby's sister) " married" a bass guitarist in the very
early 70's. They had a girl child they called "Layla Anduin", for the
Clapton song (the rock version) and the river in the Lord of the Rings (the
books).
SIL went on to later have a son (not with bass player) named "Kyle", and
lastly, a daughter named "Kayla". If I was Kayla, I would have been a
little pissed, but whatever. No one said your parents had to have
imagination. Hell, I know a girl named Parsley. So much for imagination.

Don't believe everything that you think.

To reply, unleash the dog.

Major Congrats or as they say in my 'hood Mazel Tov!

no idea on Names.... we are leaning towards all H names or all
motorcycle names for future dogs...

Biscuit, for her creamy color and darker outer edges. The term means
sweet cookie in the UK so that works, too.

Or Toast, for the same reasons, and because if you hadn't chosen her,
that's what she might have been.

Congratulations, FurPaw! She sounds really lovely. Hope there will be a
lot of pictures after she comes home.

No name suggestions. I stink at dog names.

Jeez, Kathleen, will you name my next dog? Great ideas!

Nessa

I am dying of curiosity. You mentioned naming your future dogs
motorcycle names or H names.

Since I am a motorcycle enthusiast I am curious to know what names you
had in mind?

My motorcycle is a Harley and I like that name for a dog but I have
never named one of my dogs that name because I already knew some dogs by
that name. My motor is a Flathead and well......I just couldn't do
that, though I did know a dog friend named Panhead quite awhile ago.

Please tell me what names were you thinking of?
