    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 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.

                    How 'bout Derringer? In keeping with certain shared interests, wryly indicative of the diminutive. Nicks to include 'Derry-Air, etc.

                          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.

                                  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:

                                  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.

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

                                        "Stumpy" is good, but if they adopt two, the other could be "Run!" The two could pose for "before" and "after" pics on the sign John has on the fence.

                                          Good for you! :-D A few weeks ago Denise and I picked out a puppy at the pound for her mom, who recently lost her dog to old age. Little Taffy is a delight, but the poor thing came down right away with parvo. We nursed her through that, and she was doing great when, a week and a half ago, she came down with distemper. It's been a hard pull, but we've got her just about over that, and are hoping she won't suffer any of the advanced stages of the illness. We've been feeding her with a syringe - Pedialyte mixed with baby food - and giving her subcutaneous injections (250 mL) of Ringers solution to keep her hydrated. Today she went outside to have a huge drink from the big dog's water bowl (the pool), and tonight she not only ate a full dinner, but succeeded in stealing food from the pit bull's bowl. Cheeky little thing! :-D Had we not adopted her when we did, this delightful little ball of fluff would have died in that shelter within a few days. Since she contracted these horrible diseases in the shelter, it's good odds that most of the animals there also have one or both. I hate to think about what their fates were. It was Taffy's good fortune, too, I believe, that we didn't even take her home before we stopped to buy a 5-in-1 puppy shot for her, and gave it to her as soon as we got her home. I'm convinced that the shot gave her system just a bit of an edge by kickstarting her immune system before the viruses got hold of her. Another week and we'll know for sure whether she's going to make it...
