I’ve had the new dog for just over a week now and she still pretty much goes by dawg, or Little Pup.
I didn’t name her right away because nothing really jumped out as me as a good name for the new addition.
After the first few days of her sleeping in front of whichever door I needed through I considered Doorstop.
Day three she took off with the big dogs for a couple days so names like Missing, Wanted, and #%*#@#$ dog all came to mind, but Trish thought she needed something more feminine.
Since she is white with a tint of brown in her hair, Trish thought Blondie was an appropriate name.
When naming a dog I consider several things, but since I know they are going to disappear and I’m going to spend countless hours driving around looking for them, the main thing I consider is how their name will sound when I’m driving around hollering for them.
“Lightning, Hudson, Blondie…” it just doesn’t ring well.
I’m getting kind of attached to Little Pup, but being a Pyrenees, Little is probably not going to work for the long term.
When I holler “Little Pup” and something a bit smaller than Lightning comes running, I’m going to look like I’m off my rocker or something.
I’ve decided to see what our readers think would be an appropriate name for a small white dog that likes Frito Lay Scoops, and escapes from the pin like Houdini from a straightjacket.
I’ll put a photo online, besides the one of her on her wanted (Lost Dog) poster and we’ll see what suggestions you have.
Just remember, I’m the one doing the calling when they’re missing so I have the ultimate right of veto. Top five names will be put on an online poll later this month.
