In particular Dog names.

I'm thinking of getting a dog when I get my new house. Currently live in a no dog area.

I will likely get a black Lab, mix.

Previously we had, none named by me:

A black Lab - Max

A black Lab - Bernie, named after a kid that always got into trouble that lived across the street from us. Bernie (the dog) used to get into trouble alot when younger. Like grabbing a ball of wool and running around the house getting the wool tangled in everything, chair legs, table leg, ran round the halls and tied several doors shut, lucky not the main one, etc...

A black husky shepard wolf cross - Smoky He had a habit of biting your ankles. He had huge teeth and those dots above his eyes that made it look like he was watching you even when asleep.

So it can't be that.

Can't be Hersey another of my sisters dogs, a Rotweiller. Nice big dog.

Can't be Dfer, Another sisters dog, a Australian sheep dog. Very smart liked to jump around alot.

Eddie is another name used up on another dog, a Boxer anti snake dog in Australia.

Fancy or Nancy, not sure which, is my sister in Edmontons dog. Some kind of African thing. Fun and fast but gittery like a squirrel.

A friend had a dog named Jack, a Black Lab. Might not want that name either.

So what names are out there?

Has to be something you don't might shouting in public. Can't be too weird like little Demon etc...

Molly is out too, A very good friend had a Newfoundlander dog, he would run it in the provincial park and joggers would take off at high speed yelling bear bear, which even if it was a bear would be a stupid thing to do. Anyway he eventually gave Molly back to his mom as he couldn't go for a walk without causing huge problems.

I wanted to name one of our cats "professor cuddle bottom" but nobody liked it!!!

In the first pic... on the left is Murphy (my late grandfather used to call me that) and on the right is Winston (named after the black dude in Ghostbusters)... go figured right?

The second pic is of the "da funk docta reggie noble"... the family calls him "reggie" I named him after the rapper "REDMAN"

How about "down, damn it" "get of the couch" "nudger" "leave that alone" "Mr. dog" "Hey, you" "get away" "knucklehead" "doofus" "time to eat"...these are all names my dogs "respond" to.

Oh, .......and "mooo"

Yeah but when the new dog gets out and I have to walk around the neighbourhood yelling, Knucklehead knucklehead etc... I need a name that isn't odd.

Too odd.

Finally, a post worthy of taking seriously.

We last had Sergeant, a Shep/Mal mix. Was in training to be a service dog, and is now doing well in that capacity. We are allowed to drop by and see him when he's not working. I'll never foster and train another dog that I will have to voluntarily relinquish again; it's too hard.

We also had Satch, a rough collie like Lassie. Had to put her down on her 13th birthday. Still miss her.
