A Contest!

The animal rescuers evidently figgered that as long as I still have four hours in the day available for sleep, that obviously means I'm not living life to it's fullest.

Therefore, when they found a malnourished eight-week old White Shepherd / Yellow Lab female skittering frantically down a side street in a warehouse district, they immediately scooped her up, had happy thoughts, and told me they were bringing company.





*sigh* Got her leashed to the door temporarily for the pic. She kept hiding behind my ankles, and my camera don't gots a x-ray function...

And I'm still working on getting Meadow adopted out. Ennyhoo, last night the pup got introduced to food, water, the lawn, ear-skritches and tummy-rubs, and is now living in the garage until I can housebreak her -- on the docket today is getting her to the vet's for all the puppy-stuff she needs.

So, here's the deal. The new kid needs a name. The flyers and pix I send to the Critter Rescue networks get more hits if the potential adoptee has a name associated with the description.

Your mission -- Name That Puppy.

Winner gets brag rights, naturally.





Yeah, I'm just a sucker for a cute face...

 OMG, that is one cute puppy!  Good thing you don't live anywhere near us!
 
She's a little sweetie, and evidently she's been starved for affection for a while. She'll gulp a mouthful of food, then dash to sit on my foot while she chews it. Then back to the food, then back to my foot. Repeat fifty times...
 

From your description and with apologies to Futurama.

"Nibbler",  or depending upon your choice of chow, "Kibbler".
 
Blondie, Lady Ga Ga, Sundance, Mooch, Angel, Fred.

I just threw in the Fred to see if you were paying attention.
 
Cute Pup, probably be a handful when she gets a little older.

Since she was found on a side street, how about -  Allie. 
 
SWWBO's right.  Good thing yer too far away.  Damn good thing.

 
And, lessee....

Amore, Buttercup, Cuddles, Bella, Dolce, Jewel, Honey, Moppet, Munchkin, Purdy, Snuggles.
 
Cottonball!  Concur re: cute puppy diagnosis.  Give her an extra skritch for me, UnkaBill!
 
Cottonball - that's good.  Me likey.
 
???  You let her sit on your foot and chew it???  Now THAT is a REAL dog lover!
 
I'll see if she cottons to it. Usually, dogs respond better to single or double syllable names.

Right now, it's bath time. This morning, she discovered the joy of rolling on a fresh-cut lawn, and she's got a distinctly *green* tint to her coat...
 
She'd fit well with Buffy.  Last time I mowed the lawn Buffy looked like the Incredible Hulk's pet behemoth.
 
With a face like that in a pose like that, she's *obviously* a Diva, Mr. DeBille.

And MH is verrrry glad you don't live closer to us.  Especially once the VES sees the pix this afternoon after school.
heh
0>:~}
 
Feel free to use Dejah, best darn name we ever gave a dog. 

In honor of  Dejah Thoris (Warrior Priness of Mars), John Carter of Mars series, Edgar Rice Burroughs.
 
UnkaBill...you'll be calling her Cot for short. And you're right about a command name.
 
Hully carp -- her paws are *white*.

Never woulda guessed.

*walking self out into the sun to dry off...*
 
I dunno Unka Bill... she looks like a "Trixie" to me.
 
"*walking self out into the sun to dry off...*"

Hey!  You forgot your beer, Mr. DeBille!
 
One of my daughters had a blonde dog kinda like that one. The dog was deaf. Do you know what y ou call a blonde deaf dog in Kansas?

Doesn't matter .. .she won't come anyway.

That said she was the dog known of as Babs.
 
Matty O'Blackfive suggests... Sabot.

I nix that one.  You name her that and she has to come here.

So I can go out and yell, "Gunner!  Sabot!"

Next thing you know, we'll have two more, named "Target" and "Tank"...
 
I would be pleased to see her named after my recently departed cream and white whippet hot-water bottle.  She had just such a sweet expression when she first came to me 15 years ago, full of love, joy, and enthusiasm, so she was a Moonshadow (I'm being followed by a Moonshadow... leaping and hopping...).  When I was bedridden with a kidney stone, Shadow would spoon me in just the right place to make it hurt less.
 
Spud.
 
*fuh-WHEEEEEEET!*

Contest is over. The winner of the naming rights is -- her new owner.

The lab tech at the vet's.

"OMG! Bill! She's adorable! Is she another rescue?"

"Yup."

"My kids (three of her own, six fosters) have been begging for a puppy to raise for years, and all I've been bringing back to the farm are the old dogs who need a home for their last few months on earth! Is she promised to anybody, yet?"

"Yup."

"Oh, darn. Anybody I know?"

"I hope so -- they're your kids, after all..."

*grin*
 
Yeah like 9 kids are going to be able to agree on a name by themselves.
 
 So, Chinese Gooseberry is out?

Cheers
 
I know where you live.
 

  I'd call her "Splash" because apparently someone tried to ditch her.
 
Sauntering 'round a warehouse district you say?

They gotta go with the theme then.

Pallet
Cargo
Boxxy

(or some forklift ones)
Hyster
Tug
Hi-Lo
 
Awwww, I love stories with happy endings.
 
 I would let my grandkids name her. I'm getting too old for such command decisions.

It's a very good thing your in NJ and not WNC. I'd have to get her. Still, she's gonna be among kids, which is exactly where puppies should be.

My wife and I are looking at houses here again after a 5 year lay off of looking and I guess we will need a puppy if things go though this time around.
 
My wife says "Trixie" for the name...She has that look in her eyes...
You all know "that look". The one that says I got the toy hidden so you have to search for it.
Toy = TV remote
Good luck.
 
If she gets the remote now, it'll be easy to find.

Easy to fing the pieces, anyway -- she's still teething.

Fastest dog adoption I ever brokered. Dang, I'm good...

*snrk*
 
I think this adorable puppy could share the name of my most special dog.
KARMA
No doubt this little darling will bring good Karma to who ever loves her and gives her a forever home.
