EEEEEEEEEE!!!! In just a few hours I get to go pick up Mr. Puppy. If the internet is very very lucky I will share a photo and some initial thoughts of him, but only if I can tear myself away. He still has no official name, but I have a whole list of considerations. My plan is to randomly call him with names off the list and see what he responds to best--basically to let him name himself.
Here's the list:
Scoresby
Charlie
Alfred
Hamilton
Mister (undoubtably he will frequently be called Mr. something-or-other)
Huston
Uncle Vanya
Moose
Señor Pawlo
Martin
I'll keep you posted, you know, while he's napping.
darrin thinks you should name the puppy wiggle-puppy. i said cuddlebot, and darrin said no to that, but i figured i would still send that one out into the world...OR!! fluffernutter, because it is so cute.
or! you could always make a terrible twin peaks reference and name the dog laura palmer, except that means that your dog was really scandalous and sort of died based on weird reasons. that probably wouldn't be the best name for a dog, now that i think about it.
All good suggestions, Darrin & Holly. Even though I had not yet seen your comment, I do sometimes call him wiggle puppy while out for a walk. Mostly this is due to the fact that he wiggles.
I think Laura Palmer would be a weird name for a dog. But if you ever adopt a female weiner dog, would you please consider naming it Log Lady?
