Mom Has A Dog of Her Own!

[Leslie and Halas]

This little guy was found abandoned yesterday.  I posted a discussion about it  http://www.doodlekisses.com/forum/topics/abandoned

 

All of the doggy organizations around here were called, and no one reported a missing dog.  Based on how he was found, the people at animal control and the people at the vet's office also feel that he was abandoned.

 

Mom brought Halas to my work just a little while ago for a meet-n-greet with the puppy, and they did fine together.  So my mom is keeping the puppy!  I'm really excited for her.

 

We're guessing he's some kind of maltese-bichon-poodle combo.

 

Please help us think of a name.   We're Bears fans here, and my mom likes beer and baking, so I was trying to think of things along those lines.  Here are a couple of suggestions we have so far:

 

Rocket (his red rocket made several appearances yesterday)

Barley (beer related)

Bumble (Abominable snow monster from Rudolph)

Ditka (Bears)

Bud (Mom drinks Bud Light)

Perry (Refrigerator Perry from the Bears)

Marshmallow or Mallow

 

Let me know what you think of these and offer up any other suggestions.

 

He'll have a busy few weeks in front of him getting used to a new home, getting all of his shots, and getting neutered, but he seems like an easy-going guy, so I'm sure he'll take it all in stride.

Three more suggestions:

Santo (we're also Cubs fans)

Swiffer (he looks like you could dust with him)

Cubbie

Ohhh, he's super cute!  How fun. :)

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Your mom is so lucky.  As is her cute new friend :)  WAY TO GO LESLIE AND MOM!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Yay! I'm so glad your mom is keeping him! I guess this means Halas has a new uncle. So try out the names that way: "Uncle Barley", "Uncle Ditka", etc.

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

He is so adorable!  I'm so glad your Mom is taking him.  I love Swiffer and Cubbie the best.

[Donna K & Quincy]

OMD, he is adorable and Mom sure looks happy! So glad to hear he has a home and people to love him.

How about Buster, as in dust buster?

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

He's just adorable and your mom looks so happy! So glad it worked out for them to be together!  I kind of like Buddy for a name which would probably end up being shortened to Bud!  It kind of takes on a double meaning that way!

Cart, Cartan, Carto, ( for shopping cart  ).   No, Starlit HATES shopping carts so that might be out.

Oh wow, now I know where the name Halas comes from!  Amazing discovery.

Sweetbess is my favorite.  He was a great guy

Loved your team in the 80s.  Have never really liked football since the Bears and McMahons SB Winning Team.

P.S.  HI MOM!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I suppose Urlacher is too long. :(

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Ya, and Butkus is out too

[F, Calla & Luca]

Rocket would be a travesty IMHO : ) I like Barley, it just sounds good. Cute pair, Mom and the dog!

[Cindy M, Zachary & the Frenchies]

I think his name has to begin with a "b" - bears, beer and baking. Beyond that I'm not sure. I like Barley.

They look wonderful together. Love happy endings!
