Abbie

YAY!  

Though this time it's not human - it's beast (canine to be exact). YAY!

Looky looky here:



He's a 7 week old English Springer Spaniel and we pick him up next weekend.   His current owners have named him Blizzard Boy for the purposes of his papers - not a name i'm planning on sticking with.  I was thinking of calling him Rosco but that name is just sooo common these days.  Any ideas?

Ahhhhhhhhh bless'im. I love dogs I do. Here's my parents' latest acquisition:



She's a whippet cross called Pickle. Was 7 weeks old then, is now about 11 weeks and apparently huge. Haven't seen her for a couple of weeks though.

Good luck with all the poo and wee clearing up Abbie.

Hairy Chin

My word, they're hairy looking blighters. A 'Dogs' you say?

Thanks.  I'm rather looking forward to it :-)

Mr Flunchy

Oh, so you mean you're not giving birth to a dog?.. I'll just leave now.

Lt Plonker

Do what Columbo does and call him 'Dog'. Or better still, name him Columbo. He will command respect throughout the doggy community.



Or even:




Either way, you're a winner. Real proper doggy names, I think.

@ssmaster

Abbie call the dog Acker Bilk. I cannot think of anything better to shout in the street.

ACKER BILK! ACKER BILK! TIME FOR DIN DINS!

One wag at work suggested that we called ours "syndrome". So that when she jumped up on chairs or whatever we could say "Down, syndrome".  I really wasn't very impressed.

In fact, I much prefer the way I legitimately included the word "wag" in the first sentence of this post to his crap joke. Did you see? Did you see?

Brian. Just like Family Guy, and that Jesus bloke in the movie by those british guys.

I second Columbo!  Or Keith Bitch.

Gazeuse

Columbo is a fantastic name for a dog!!!

I've got a friend who had a dog called Bastard which was fun when she called it in the park.

Pythov

Nice pup.

Call him Dave, or Colin.

Actually, I decide on a noise which my pets respond too, before giving them a name.

My reason being that if you use certain words alot, you should find a name which sounds the same.

Examples (just made up, not my reasons for my pet names)
words used  - name

Good Boy  -  Gubby
Come here  - Comeer
Come one then  -  Colin hen. (OK this was shit)

OK, the other (and more recent) namings I have done, were for my two little boy cats.  I thought that I wanted a simple two tone name which both would respond two when I was calling them in for dinner, or late at night.
I decided on Harley and Holly because when I call one name or the other, both respond. e.g. Haaaarleyyy, Hollleey.

I suppose some of this naming will depend on what you would like your pet to be known as.  Do you want a name that is good for YOU, or a name that is good for your pet?

As for anyone wanting to critisise my boy cats boring names, I decided to at least give them Last names for the vetinary cards.  So their full names are Harley Davidson and Holly Wood.



Holly is in the foreground

Utter Shit

Call him Mike Donaldson, and whenever other people around, act as if he's a human. Get all offended whenever they infer he's not.

No real reason, I just think it'd be a giggle.

Timmay

I think a much better name for Harley would have been Jim.

Call him 'porno' Abbie, thats what i was going to call mine until it got veto'd - it would make my year if another dog got it instead.

El Unicornio, mang

She's probably used to it, living with Timmay, hehehehe

Sorry. Nice looking dog that. I love dogs. Most loyal animals around, too

...and here was me thinking this was going to be a thread about Boris Karloff...

tch!

..and here I was thinking Timmay had gone and impregnated you.

A dog eh... hm. The last time I named pets, I just kind of blurted them out after their birth - Inky, Dusty & Bovril. I think Bovril remains one of the greatest and most unique cat names of all time so ideally you want something like that - something suitable but original.

After looking at him I'm going to offer a continuation of the brown paste theme and suggest Marmite.

Just say it a few times. Marmite. Imagine saying it in that voice people use to say pets names. I think it's a winner.

Hairy Chin

Just read this last bit:

Quote from: "Abbie"I was thinking of calling him Rosco but that name is just sooo common these days.  Any ideas?

If you wanted to be really sad and fanboy(girl)ish, you could tweak that name slightly.

Another vote for Columbo from me! That would be the er....humans bollocks for a dog's name.

Seriously though - how the hell do you go about getting them to realise what their name is? Do you have so keep saying the name over and over and over and over and over and over and over to it for hours on end til it understands?

Yes.

If I have kids I'm letting them choose their own names, I'm a busy man!

mook

You've bought yourself a handful there Abbie; springers are about the dappiest dogs ever created, bloody good fun though.

This is mine.


Ahh, I'm getting puppy broody now yer bugger.

That's from a VLS piece isn't it? The one where he's stuck on a train seat next to some slobbish hardo?

Sorry for dragging comedy into GD, everyone.

That's OK Teej, your compulsive librarianism is for the greater good. As long as you don't bring Comedy Chat in here. "That dog is just shite from beginning to end. For a start it was shot in the wrong format, and the barking's too loud. Fetching sticks has so been done before, and much better too, for example by Neil Innes' dog, Rutles, who peed on my leg once so I know. Why oh why do C4 bother."


Congratulations Abbie. (Yes, the first thing I thought was "Ouch, how's she ever going to squeeze out a baby with a jaw like Timmy's?") Spaniels are the only dogs my Tess fancies. Bloody goofy sideways baseball cap wearing wasters. Why is it one's daughter always goes for the wrong kind of boy?

Never thought of Rosco / Rothko before. Rosco / Ronco / Tesco / Tessa had occurred. Just call him Sam, it'll make life easier.

Call it Patrick, it'll no doubt slobber on you just as much as I do.  However, if it humps your leg before I get to I'll be furious.  Is it a boy dog or a biatch?  I'm too lazy to read back and find out.

Call the dog Arsenal, then I can come 'round and hit it.  'S the only chance of me enjoying beating Arsenal this season.  Woe.

Almost Yearly:  your Tess looks lovely, like a sort of whiskery Staffordshire Bull Terrier - not quite sure if she is one from that photo.

I love dogs, me. Haven't got a pic of my Staffie, Merlin to put up right now but they've got to be the best breed in the world. Except the one you've got of course - don't want to start an argument.  ;-)

Altogether now, "love me, love my dog..........dum de dum"

Boxer / Border Terrier. She thinks she's a Staff though, or used to, before she went head to head with a real Staffy bitch who'd come to the party in the same dress. Nasty business, driving round Bristol on a hot Sunday morning on acid, looking for a vet and hoping it didn't turn out to be Trude and a BBC crew.
