What are you naming your new puppy?

[Joyce (Casey & Cody's mom)]

We are naming our new little boy Casey. Can't wait to see him in less than a week now!

Cooper.   If my dreams come true and I'm able to get a chocolate AL her name will be Millie. (I think) ;)

[Joyce (Casey & Cody's mom)]

Joan - Cooper was in the "running" for our name selection, too. I love it, but since I have an uncle named Cooper - thought I would have to forgo that one. lol

[Joan Bollaert]

LOL...  your uncle would have either been flattered or offended.  Casey is a good choice. :)

Murphy is cute.  An Irish friend of mine named her dogs Dublin and Shamrock.  :)   Other irish related names I've heard are, Limerick and Blarney.

I recently lost my Brinkley in February.  He was 14yrs old.  Anyway, I always loved his name and even thought of using it again...however, I came to my senses and realized little Cooper deserves his own identity and Brinkley deserves to be remembered for who he was.  :)  I guess I was still trying to hang on to him. 

[Joan Bollaert]

I love that you said Brinkley's name sounds happy....he was. :)   He was a Tibetan Terrier and also non shedding.  I was originally looking to get another TT because they are a wonderful, sweet breed but found the Australian Labradoodle ...non shedding (more so than the American Labradoodle) and fell in love.  :)   Hmmm...  maybe I should be thinking of a happier sounding name.  ?   I tend to like names that end in "y" however Cooper just came to me.  Perhaps it's because I have a crush on actor Bradley Cooper?  lol

Wrigley was also on my list because I'm from Chicago, however I'm a White Sox fan not a Cubs fan (whose home) statium is Wrigley Field.  Not that it matters...I'm not that interested in baseball.

It sounds like your hubby will be a great new dad to your new fur baby. :) 

Brinkley was the sweetest dog ever and the happiest.  I used to say he's happy because he never heard the word "no".....couldn't hear it. ;)     I used hand signals for him and he was always looking at me becasue he couldn't hear. He was my special needs dog. :)

[Helga, Nimbus, Sierra, Clooney]

We had a GSD too and lost him to DM. It was so heartbreaking! His name was Chinook. Still love the name, but won't reuse it.

We are getting a mini Goldendoodle in 2 weeks for the same reason you got yours. We are still throwing around names. It's hard with 5 people and everyone has different ideas. Maybe we'll have to toss a coin in the end. :-)

[Joyce (Casey & Cody's mom)]

Love Murphy.  I know you are excited about picking him out.

[Joan Bollaert]

And "Murph" is cute for his nick name too.

[Marnie, Stanlee's Mom]

Murphy was a name we considered for our dog and as we already have a dog named Cooper, that was out of the running.  Finn, Rónán, Lochlain, Padraig, and Cormac were all considerations but then I got the pup and he was SUCH a nerd - clumsy with feet too big for his body and car sick the whole way home - that all of these strong, Celtic names blew out the window and now we have......Stanlee.  My very own version of a Super Hero.  If Stanlee were a young man in a super hero outfit, he would look like this:

And when you call him, you have to make your voice sound like a little old lady from Jersey.....SSSTAAAANLEE

 

 

 

Can't WAIT to see all of your puppies!!!!

We just got ours and his name is Rigby. Thought about Ruger but liked Rigby better.
