    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.

    Buzzbaum (my parents nicknamed him that for some inexplicable reason)

    I agree, I wait to be around a pup for a bit and then often pick a name that ties to the registered name; FoPaw's Designated Driver "Sober" FoPaw's Little Bit of Luck "Clover" FoPaw's Oh My God "Odin" FoPaw's Makes U Wonder "Stevie" FoPaw's Lead Singer "Diva" there are many more but these are a couple that come to mind, owners have picked similar matches. Jordan Reed has chosen some very clever names as well. Atarasi D'Lucks Edition "Eddie" (Clover's brother) Atarasi About Face "Sarge" Atarasi All About Me "Mimi" I love playing with names like this. I like Oakley myself but I think you'll be surprised to know exactly what his name is when you get him home. Good luck with the new baby. Therese

    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.

    Shaye's MomS
    Although "NO" became what Shaye most heard, along with " drop it" (she's too quick for "leave it," so "drop it" has replaced that) and "get off the table" and "stop digging the screens" (on the porch), lately we have been firmly saying her name, then squirting her in the face with a squirt bottle. Amazing how well that works - of course the entire house is getting wet but she's getting the picture that when we pick up the squirt bottle and show it to her, she'd best stop whatever it is she's doing. Gemma, of course, responds to "stop" and "leave it." Must be the "other" kind of dog in her….
