    WOWEE!!! You have nine (9) furkids? My hat's off to you . . . I'm amazed and confused! :confused:

  • Can't remember if I've already replied to this thread or not… but...

    Miles's nicknames are:
    Ham
    Floppy Ham Man
    HamSteak (when he's in trouble)
    Milesy

    Lexi's nicknames are:
    Lesty
    Poo Poo
    The Poo
    Pooper
    Lezzi

  • Jala is sometimes Jalabanana or Pookie. :D

  • Senji's nicknames are:
    Senjell
    Senjeloo
    Senjel loo loo
    Senjel-poo poo
    poopy head
    super pooper
    pooparoo
    pupparoo
    Boo Boo
    Stinky

  • Yes, we have 9… yes, we're a bit crazy...
    But it just seems to happen. Tex was from our first (co-bred) litter, we kept him and his sister. Fiber and Lela are his children, both are at least carriers for Fanconi as their dam had it, so we kept them to keep a close eye on them. (our daughter has one of the others, and friends in AZ have the other 2) Kate was our 'lease fee' when another friend leased Tex's sister BG. Amina was the only puppy to survive from BG's second litter. BG developed Fanconi and we lost her last year. When we bred the litter that Dude and Arrow were in, we were only keeping one, but my husband fell for Dude, the only red and the only male. Same thing with Dinger and Kivu, I had Kivu picked out, but my husband said, "Oh, but look at him! We can't turn down that face!!" so we had two... They are Tex's grandsons.

    @YodelDogs: We have already established that Dexter's "breeder" was disreputable. How many litters did this person have? If she had more than one litter then it is entirely possible that the papers that were supplied with Dexter may not have even been from the litter he was in. Very True Robyn

    LOL when we were getting Sayblee, Leora had me on the net and we came up with 100 potential names. I picked my top ten and she crossed them all off. (she was about 9 at the time) She picked Sayblee. So Sayblee became my dog but I insisted on naming the next one, hence Arwen. But it turned out good since she doesn't yodel, but gives a very clear loud R a lot.

    We once got a puppy with a 12 year old male (and an older female). For the first week the adults kept their distance from the girl pup, but within a couple of weeks my male and the pup were inseparable. She hung from his neck with those wicked teeth and he hardly ever growled at her, she was his little shadow and they adored each other. Adults will make terrible noise and flash fangs at the pups, especially at about 6 months when they are teenagers, but most pups ignore it all! Male dogs are usually very sweet and good with pups…females are, well, bitches.
