    We're adopting a animal shelter dog on Tuesday. She looks like a cross between a Flat Coated Retriever (essentially a black golden retriever) and a Border Collie. She's mostly black with a white stripe on her chest, and she has just a knuckle where most dogs have a tail. I wanna call her "Stump" or "Knuckles", but the wife prefers "June" because then (as my wife puts it) she can have cute nick names, like "June Bug", and such. I told her I thought "Knuckle Bug" or "Stump Bug" are equally cute. I'm not winning the argument... :suss:

    "June" is not name for a dog...... I like the idea of "Stumpy"

        She does know that you have to give a dog a name that you can shout out without shame in a park doesn't she? This means that acceptable dog names include Fang, Butch, Killer, Faceripper or Shagger. A mate of mine called his dog Little Bastard and that went down particularly well near the swings at the park "Come here Little Bastard. Fetch the ball Little Bastard."

          You need to come up with some sort of indirect reference to it, like 'Cleaver', or 'Hatchet'. Or 'Chop Suey'. :-D

              It will have the characteristics of both. First it rounds you up, then it whips you to death with the tail.

                                You have to cute-it-up. Knuckle-wuckle or Stumpy-wumpy. Marc

                                You do realize who you're talking to. John's liable to nickname her 'Ruger' or 'Colt' or 'Mossburg' or something like that.

                                  She does know that you have to give a dog a name that you can shout out without shame in a park doesn't she? This means that acceptable dog names include Fang, Butch, Killer, Faceripper or Shagger. A mate of mine called his dog Little Bastard and that went down particularly well near the swings at the park "Come here Little Bastard. Fetch the ball Little Bastard."

                                  Several years ago a local radio station DJ had a dog named Sex. Needless to say, it went downhill from there.

                                      We're adopting a animal shelter dog on Tuesday. She looks like a cross between a Flat Coated Retriever (essentially a black golden retriever) and a Border Collie. She's mostly black with a white stripe on her chest, and she has just a knuckle where most dogs have a tail. I wanna call her "Stump" or "Knuckles", but the wife prefers "June" because then (as my wife puts it) she can have cute nick names, like "June Bug", and such. I told her I thought "Knuckle Bug" or "Stump Bug" are equally cute. I'm not winning the argument... :suss:

                                      You're to be commended for adopting a shelter dog :rose:. You realize we expect to see pictures posted Tuesday, of course.

                                        Congratulations! John, you may find your hard hearted image melting soon :) There is nothing so fine as a canine companion in your life. Especially a rescue dog. We have two beautiful ones that my wife named. But I've always wanted to get a scoundrel that I would name "Schmutzy". Again, congratulations and my girls Yuki-chan and Sachiko wish you the best of happiness with your new family member.
