Some friends of ours always used to have labradors,they had three in total,when one passed on they would replace it with another.The first one was called Penny,which was followed by Tuppence and then rather unimaginatively by Threepence.(who I used to walk regularly)

If she lost the 1st dog it was quite straightforward to ask people''has anyone seen my Penny''.Similarly ''has anyone seen my Threepence''
I just hope she never lost the 2nd dog Embarassed

Chez for short.

We have a year old Longish legged Jack Russell that we just had to call Snoopy because he just looked like a Snoop Dawg.

To date we have had

Shaun, a real Heinz 57 varieties, according to the guy at the rescue centre, my OH said that the pup with the biggest paws would be the biggest dog Laughing

we ended up with the weirdest dog I've ever seen, a wee fat thing with huge paws Laughing

I stuck to pedigree dogs after that.

Harvey, an Afghan Hound
Penny, a Yorkshire Terrier
Beano, a Yorkshire Terrier
Poppy, a Scottish Terrier
Holly, a Rottweiler
Heather, a Rottweiler (Holly's daughter)
Rosie, a Chihuahua, who thinks she's a Rottweiler Laughing

Nina, a Standard Poodle (I wanted to call her Coco (as in Chanel) but OH said it made her sound like a clown Laughing

so she is Nina (as in Ricci)

Since some folks have mentioned cats, we have had

Suki, Suzi, Mr Tibbs, Oscar and Mia all moggies and Sally, Raquel, Alice, Pasha, Oscar and Sophie all Siamese.

Our first dog a yellow labrador was called 'Caesar'. We gave him this name as we were living near Richborough where Julius Caesar landed on English soil. He cost us £60 in 1960. Won several prizes in shows although he was not sold to us as a show dog. Unfortunately he was run over in 1964 when he got through the gate left open by a neighbour, himself a dog owner.

The second yellow Lab was called 'Sign', he was already named when we bought him at the age of 10 months. He was thrown out by a breeder as he was gun shy. He cost us £70 in 1964.

The next was a black Cocker Spaniel and we called him 'Rufus'. We took a picture of him sitting on the Rufus stone when we visited the New Forest with him soon after we had him. He cost £150 I believe in 1979.

Now I have 'Coco' a Chocolate Labrador who cost £350 in April 1997-nearly his 11th birthday-9th March. My husband bought him unknown to me while I was away at a conference. I didn't want another dog but this one has got to be the tops. He was always at my late husband's side. Unknown to me friends brought him into the church at my husband's funeral. He made no noise until the end when he gave one bark as the funeral men walked up the aisle to collect the coffin. That bark resounded around the church and had many in tears, me included. He is never far from me now unless the cat is nearby and he is petrified of him.

I aquired the cat from a daughter who was worried he would get on the baby's cot when she had her first child in 1993. He is nearly a British Blue I am told. My daughter gave him the name 'Graham' because of his grey colour.

As a single bloke it has occurred to me that there are certain names that are no-nos.

I'm going to take Willie out this afternoon!

Nancy, I'm tired of chasing you through the park!

Hello,

I have had 3 dogs in my adult life and never given any of them names. They have all been border collies, rescued from various homes. Our first was Jess (Avatar) she was such a sweet girl, always at my side and her pal was Kim, she too was a great dog but had health problems all her days until she died aged 7. We miss them both so much.

Our current dog was the result of a wrong turning whilst in London. We were looking for an address in Battersea, when we seen the sign for the famous home. We went in for a look an their she was little Skip a 3 year old Border Collie. We fell in love with her and had to give her a home. It meant us cancelling our ferry booking to France and our 3 week trip to the South of France. But we had a great time in Brighton with Skip which was changed to Pip. That was 18 months ago and would not be without her is a great dog.

She helps keep Garry busy when I'm overseas and is great company for him. We would not be without her
