Out of loyalty, I just have to vote for Boomer.

But really, why not sit him down, say each of the names to him, and see what he seems to like? As I mentioned earlier, our dear Boomer chose his name, and basically how to spell it!

ETA....I just looked back at the photos, and see your new boy is sporting a blue collar. That's another tie in to our dear Boomer. Blue was his color as well. Again, he chose blue, and his brother chose purple. I remember putting their new leash/collar in two piles, a fair distance apart from each other. I then picked them up and took them across the room and told them to each pick out their colors. Boomer went directly to the blue pile and Bomba went directly to the purple pile. Those were their designated colors from then on.

Pupdate:
Still no name decided, but here's a pic of the pup with Chai. Chai just adores dogs. They're getting along quite well. Mocha is enjoying him, too.

Here's the pup relaxing on his comfy cushion.

I like Ponto, the aborigines name for little brother.
Also Durda and Malaka means dog. But I think he looks like a Ponto, already sure of his place in his family. He is beautiful.

Merrysea, the puppies are darling but I get a kick of who the main star is in those pictures. We are all admiring your handsome son!

Who, I love your story about your dogs choosing their colors! We call our new pup a variety of names to see which he seems to respond to the best, but he likes them all. Hmmmmm

Congratulations, Babyruth & Miss Sweatpea!! What an adorable pup!! So have you decided yet on a name? I can't get over how quickly your cat has gotten to accept him! We had our DDs puppy all of last week and after a day or so, our cat stopped puffing up and did start playing with him, but if he got too rambunctious, she give him a hiss for good measure! LOL

I remember when we adopted Kellie, the whole family (the kids were YOUNG then!) and we kept throwing out names and what they called her at the humane society. The kids finally ended up with Kellie C.C. and then our last name. Of course, we've long forgot that C.C. part! I wonder if the kids even remember that anymore!

Merry - those pups are adorable and your son is one great looking young man!!! Did he get to choose yet?

Time to vote!! Anyone who wants to vote for one of the two names below, please do!!

Thanks, Watching2! (Kellie is a sweet name!)

We're getting much closer on a name. In fact, we had it down to two...and then my nephew emailed his suggestion, which we LOVE. So we phased out one of the previous two, and now are trying to see which of the two final names fits him best:

1. Tucker

2. Biscotti (Biscuit for short)



Thanks for your ideas and input, everyone! :-)

Tucker seems to roll off the tongue better. He kinda looks like a Tucker for some reason too!

That's exactly how we both feel about "Tucker", too, Who. Tucker seems a bit more practical...easier to say, hear, and differentiate. And it fits him well, as he's fun, easygoing and playful. It's a good 'lil Outback type name, too.

We love "Biscotti" because he is exactly the color of an almond biscotti (minus the nuts..lol) dipped in icing on the edges AND because it goes so well with Chai and Mocha. We also love the name Biscuit for short, and he kinda looks like one of those, too. Our friend from North Carolina said, "Well if you two were southerners, you'd name him biscuit , no doubt about it!"

He responds to both, Vacainck!

Kevin did get to choose, although he hasn't heard back for sure yet from the breeder. He chose the short-hair one because he bonded it with more when he was there, and he really liked its temperament. The puppy will be eight weeks old on Thursday, so we're thinking he'll probably get it over the weekend.

Thanks all for the compliments on my son!! :-)

I like Tucker very much! And since Tucker is also Aussie slang for "food", it still fits in with your theme :-)


quote:

Tucker in Australian means food and bush tucker is a huge variety of spices, fruits, vegetables, animals, etc. that are native to Australia. For as long as 50,000 years, Aborigines have been eating bush tucker. Although about 80% of Australians are city dwellers, there is a growing appreciation today for bush tucker and an interest in exploring new tastes.

You may not be brave enough to try Witchetty Grubs, but you're sure to like our very popular Barramundi and Balmain Bugs served in our best restaurants.

Merry, glad he got to choose. Just from the picture I'd be drawn to the furrier one but I'd definitely go with the one with the bond, that is way more important and they are both very attractive pups.
