Update: Teddy for a little boy dog!

Update:

My parents are getting a dog -- I asked for name suggestions earlier and found a few we liked. Out of all of them, we think we like Teddy the best. What do you guys think??

...my brother is a history buff and LOVES Teddy Roosevelt!

Re: Fave Male/Female dog names??

DH wants to name a male Golden puppy Emmett (which he seems to think he will be getting while I am home on maternity leave )

I always liked Kirby and I actually had a boy puppy name the other day that I cannot for the life of me recall now!!!

Re: Fave Male/Female dog names??

I always wanted a boy Golden Retriever and name him Charlie!!

We have always had interesting names for our dogs..

My 2 Chihuahuas are Mimi Sanchez and Chico Sanches

We've had:

Lani
Lex
Joey
Ben
Petey
Smokey
Sha Shu and Shu Sha (my first dogs when I was a baby 2 shitzus)

Re: Fave Male/Female dog names??

Don't have a dog right now, but I do have 4 male pets! My horses are Joey and Paxton. My cats are Mickey and Reagan.

We are going to name our next dog Dave... but that's because there is a long, involved story behind it.

Re: Fave Male/Female dog names??

I love Reagan - but is that a boy's name or girl? I have heard it for both!

Oh I'm sorry - I should have mentioned. We did see him, hold him, meet him and take a pic of him prior to my post. We had to be interviewed and fill out paperwork -- then, we waited for the adoption approval. So, in the meantime we were trying to figure a name. I didn't make it a definitive statement b/c I'm supersticious, lol! I was worried if I said for sure they'd call back and say something went wrong and we can't have him. But we got the OK! So, at least I can say for sure now.

Thanks

Re: Update: Teddy for a little boy dog!

Hey guys! A small update -- we brought Teddy home Saturday morning!! He is wonderful - has not had one accident since we got him. You can tell that he is very aware and intelligent... He goes right to the spot we are training him to go to in the yard and pees/poops! He is very gentle, calm, and pleasant -- so sweet! Charlotte and Lily (his big sisters lol) adore him - and, this is going to really tug at the hear strings, Teddy (once in a while) goes to try and nurse from Char or Lily!!!!!! They wrestle and play and lay together! Teddy is perfect at night - if he whimpers in the crate at all it is only for a few minutes and then he settles down. We are using the little soda can of coins to correct any teething issues -- then we redirect him to his teething toys. We will eventually use a spray bottle to correct any excessive barking -- the rescue group suggested this. We make sure to give Char and Lily their separate attention -- they are used to being Queens of the castle!

I will definitely post pics when I can -- we have taken some but I need to get them online from my sister's camera since mine is broken! I need a new digital badly!

Thanks guys!!
