Phillipi,
I told you Bandit! several days ago but you never commented on it. She has the perfect mask around her eyes. Or maybe Bonnie? for Bonnie and Clyde.......... LOLOL

Hi Phillilpa,
this may sound WEIRDDDDDD to you, but I heard a radio show once where the guest was, I guess, psychic.
She was saying how important it is to talk to our animals like we would children or friends.
To explain things to them. Like if they're going to go in the car to the vet to say that we're taking them in the car & it'll sound different & they might wonder what's going to happen to them, but that we'll be with them & take care of them, etc.
Since then, my daughter & I do this all the time. Before I went on holiday, I told Ginger, my wonderful cat-who-seems-to-think-he's-a-dog
that Mommy was going away for some days, but that I'd be back & I love him & he'd be taken care of by my daughter, etc etc.If it were me, I'd be telling your doggie that you love him(her - sorry, can't remember) to pieces. You know your doggie's personality/character - so trust your intuition when speaking, if you decide to try this.
If it were me, I'd talk to my pet as I'd talk to a little child who was soon going to have a baby brother or sister arrive.
This lady on the radio helped pets who had problems. It seemed a very important part of reassurance was "I'll take care of you. I'm here for you. I love you, etc"
Maybe you need to get to know the new puppy a bit before you see what name "fits"??
Hugs to ya Phillipa, luv, Kath

Kath no it's not wierd I do it now with our cat and toy poodle and you must be a psychic as the breeder just e-mailed me and said to wait a few days and see what her personality is like. Oh because of the collar I thought of topaz last night before falling asleep. Wonder if this was an answer from above? Love Phillipa

Topaz is a LOVELY name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please don't name it curtm - there can only be ONE of those!!!!!!
Or maybe one of those in each species?? well that's a thought, but NO - I think Topaz is much safer!!!! LOL

Chloe sounds like a name that would wear well as a call name.
As grandpa used to say, you can't name a calf without first considering how it will sound as you yell "XXX, get the h*ll into the barn right now!"
He vetoed Twinkletoes.
