Bugsy Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 After many months of soul-searching following the loss of our boxer Maxwell, we have finally decided to get another dog. We picked him up yesterday............14 weeks old and full of fun.[IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p211/Bugbear2/IMG_0477.jpg[/IMG]Sitting on my visiting daughter.................We are struggling on a name though, so any suggestions are welcome...........................Dylan, Frodo, Charlie have been suggested to-date..

Suze01 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 He's gorgeous. If he was mine I'd call him Bruno - it's French, it has a Boxing link (Frank), he's brown, and I like the name (I know 3 human Brunos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sueyh Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 As it is the year of the letter D - how about Duffy, Dondie, (I like Dylan too as already suggested) or Duke.It is difficult, we have a rescue dog picked up in Swansea - of course he had to be Taffy (No offence meant to any Welsh contributors).Suey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Âme Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Gorgeous puppy-dog, lucky you. Since it's a D year, how about Dodger, as in The Artful...? It will suit him for the first couple of years!! [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'm so envious. If he were my dog I'd call him Derek.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugsy Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Well, thanks for all the suggestions.......................it was actually easier deciding names for our two daughters............[:D]We have had a real laugh with him today..........................both our cats don't seem too pleased though, hissing and spitting whenever he approaches. They have both retired to a sofa in my 'boys' room [:D] I should add that the cats don't actually like each other that much, but are now at either end of the same sofa, enjoying a bit of peace, I guess.It looks like Dylan is winning the name game, at the moment.

ViVienne Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 my new baby is a Westie, he came from the blue cross. We have called him Archie. He has certainly livened the place up!! Our cats are apparently the most exciting thing he has ever seen, luckily they are both laid back seen it all before types. The older dog doesn't know what's hit her yet ,they are getting on fine though. I will post a photo as soom as he sits still long enough!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 BB. We have a Henri, a labradoodle. We rescued him a couple of months ago through this Forum. When we tell French people his name, they fall about laughing because the French don't seem to call their dogs "human names". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Hi Cathy, I love those dogs, have you got a photo?.Interestingly, regarding Henri, our french friends thought it was a great name (they knew the 'boxer' link). Visited the vet yesterday and they all thought he was lovely. The vet who looked after our old boxer Max so brilliantly, even gave him a new toy for christmas.Gary.

suein56 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 [quote user="Bugsy"]Visited the vet yesterday and they all thought he was lovely. [/quote]Well I am not surprised at that; it is the expression on his face as he lies by the fire - quiet acceptance that he is in just the right place; for you and for himself. Love flows from him - it is there in volume in his eyes.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
