    Default Need a good name (or two or three or four) for foster dog

    I just took in a beautiful little chihuahua/doxie mix, smooth-coated, black, and she is VERY pregnant. The vet thinks four puppies.

    I am open to name suggestions!!

    Me too!! I haven't done whelping yet, and she is a LITTLE dog!

    I AM hoping daddy was something other than a chi, though, because the fuzzy puppies get adopted faster than smooth-coated ones!

    Pics, we need pics. We need to see her cute lil face to come up with good names.

    and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
    faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
    you will be given something solid to stand on,
    or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller


    “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
    there are signs that the world is speedily
    coming to an end;
    bribery and corruption are common; children no
    longer obey their parents;
    every man wants to write a book and the
    end of the world is evidently approaching.”
    — From a translation of an inscription on

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to know the difference

    Here is the pic when I first got her home. She wouldn't come out of the carrier for a few hours. Now she is on her bed and a little less scared, but it is dark, so I can't get a better photo yet.

    My kids name all of our pets after beverages. DH and I do not drink, yet our kids have named most of our pets after beer, wine and whiskey. A few we have had

    Shasta
    Sanka
    Fanta
    Diamond (Diamond brand tea)
    Max (Maxwell House)
    Jim (Jim Beam)
    MJ (Mini Jim Beam)
    Jack (Jack Daniels)
    Bud
    Miller
    Hunter Heinekin
    Mocha (irony here is she is a solid white cat, not even close to being a mocha color)
    Chiante (Key-on-tay - spoken with a strong southern accent)
    Frannie (short for Frangelico)

    Now, DS found a lost Yorkie-Poo last year. When no one claimed him we let DS keep him. He decided to break tradition and named this dainty little fellow WarHammer.

    Lucky may be a good name for a male. After all , they are all lucky to have such a great foster mom.
