On seeing his pictures, Sweetrobin, my hubby instantly said "Wolfy"

Call me crazy but he looks like a baby german shepherd so you never know; he might grow up to be a big doggie so think twice before you call him something like "Binky"

I thought "Wolf" or "Grizzly" would be good names. While he's little you can call him Wolfy like my hubby said.

What a cute little dog he is!

sweetrobin: we turned your quest into a challenge for the kids of visiting friends (who now want ?puppies? after seeing your adorable new roomie) and this is what they came up with:

Sharky
Rocky
Jesse
Mugsy
Corky

Sweetrobin, I have a black lab that i found in a trash dumpster as a 14 month old puppy. We named him Chance, eason being is because he got a second Chance at life. So you are giving this puppy a chance at life at you place so why not name him Chancey.

actually, I think I made a mistake before... my dog's name is &quot;Luckie&quot;, not &quot;Luckey&quot;... Anywho, Lucky is a good name. :)

If you can, wait a bit and get to know him before naming him. I wish I had done that with my younger cat. I named her Sasha when I got her, but within 6 months, I went from calling her Sasha to Bubbe to Boobie to Bubba to Boo Boo Kitty, and now to Boo. I am horribly embarassed to take her to the vet, 'cause I gave up on calling her Sasha and I can't say Boo to strangers with a straight face. My other cat we rescued from a shelter and came with the name Moki (Moe-key), which we aren't crazy about but are too lazy to change. Besides, she kinda answers to it :p

I had a dog name Rocky or was it Lucky, he was a German shepherd - my uncle put him to sleep because he got it on with the female dogs around the neighborhood and we got in trouble for it. Can?t blame the dog if his hormones are raging, poor Lucky.

bloodthristy then call him B.L.T for short.

Learnt from tha neighbors that it was their dog and that it bit him and would not let go so he had to throw the dog to get him off. :)
Now I am thinking I like this dog even better, will probally see alot less of the neighbors once he gets bigger. He tried to bite me but I am too fast for him, but he did get ahold and draw some blood from sweet_robin. Hell I can't blame him cause she was trying to get him to cuddle with her....
