No longer nameless… turns out she's a "Scout"!

  • Whatever you name her, make sure it's easy to yell out the back door! ;-)

  • Like giza said….easy to yell out.

    my puppy's name rolls off the tongue; instead of "stop it!" I end up saying her name 'Bop-it'. Works out.

    Scout's a cute name; and it sounds like you've settled on it.

    The names Cumbia, Mach, Blitz, Wildone, and Opus were some of the names on my old puppy list.

  • You said you were smitten with her earlier. Why not call her that? Smitten?

  • @vickilb:

    Peanut!!!!

    Ha! That was one of my nicknames as a kid, and now one of my old besties calls her new baby Peanut =)

    Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! Scout does seem to have stuck. Now I'm debating whether she should be "Nocturnal's Gold Award Girl Scout" or "Nocturnal's Sin t'Kill a Mockingbird" or "Nocturnal's Miss Jean Louise" or a deeper TKM cut like "Nocturnal's Pass the Dann Ham Please"!

    @Pat/tanza, her dam appears to be an unremarkable canine named Brooke's Butterfinger Candy =).

    She is turning out to be a world of fun. Really getting me to think on my feet. I'm still trying to avoid formal "training" for another couple weeks, but it's hard not to reward offered behaviors and she's already come up with a few clever "stupid pet tricks" of her own! ;0)

    Here's a pile of photos–we love her so very much! (PS: Please don't be alarmed about the chain in the first photo, we don't tie our dogs out. I was just doing outdoor chores and needed to ensure there were no food squabbles while we practiced everyone chewing their own bones in their own designated areas.) Also throwing in one of my old man, too, just because he's feeling a little left out of the training fun, poor fella.

  • beautiful photos

  • She is adorable! Scout is a great name, easy to "yell out the back door"!

  • Thanks on all counts! "Scout" seems just right. She is certainly an explorer. And I am clearly biased, but I think she's pretty cute myself ;0). She is fun to shoot. I love the "details" on her–like the black inner ear tips. And I can't get enough of that tiny smirk!

    Blitz is great! I'm keeping Mighty, Puma, Rizzo, Radar and Zoom-Zoom in my pocket ;0)

  • Whatever you name her, she is a cutie!

  • Soooo cute, should give a name..

    @iris-shuman said in I would like you to meet "The 'Marvel'-ous Prince T'Challah" a/k/a Prince: Iris was born in December too Not much of a surprise when you think about it ! Basenjis in the Northern Hemisphere come in to season through September/October/November and whelp their litters November/December/January. A great many litters' arrivals cause the turkey to be put back in the oven on Christmas Day while the puppies are delivered ! Decrease the size of the photo and you will be able to show Iris to all of us. And do as Tanza suggests to Daureen - get her Fanconi tested.

    Yes, Bungwa will toss any of his toys into the air and catch them but definitely will not catch anything I throw. He has no competition because the others just look and say 'Boooring'!!! Interesting about your best hunters being fetchers, Quercus. I wonder if there's a reason in it or whether it's a coincidence!?

    **hahaa…Its great how they can "say" so much with their expressions!!! ---SO, there was a breakin in miliraty housing one street up from us, and now im kind of glad Jack is aggressive when it comes to strangers....BAD strangers. Makes me feel safer. He sleeps at the top on the stairs next to my room and his bed faces the front door. SO I KNOw when someone strange is coming into the house. Once when i had a family member (jack didnt know) over, they went out all night and tried to sneek in at 3 in the morning and i heard jack growl like ive NEVER heard before. Sounded like he would have killed...I called him to stop and he did, but now i know when a REAL stranger comes in, Jack with at least give me a chance to prepare myself...!!----- Thats one thing Im thankful for with the recent breakins around here...and its unfortunate because ive always felt SO safe in Military housing...But its some group of teenagers that are Navy brats and live here too....yeay, not.**
