I voted for Shut up Butthead ("What is your dogs name?" "Shut up butthead"), or Diogee (Dee OHH Gee - or DOG). I got out voted. My older son lost out too with "Volgaar Destroyer of worlds" We later attempted a coup with "Peesonthefloor" but it did not stick. Looks like we are stuck with Teddy Bear. I just call him Bear. I will not call hium Teddy Bear. If he hears that too much he will be wanting to go get his nails painted and wear eyeliner. No metro dogs for me thank you very much. He is going to be a tough guy. It is bad enough that his best friend is a cat.

He is extremely mellow, especially for a puppy. We considered Eeyore because of his personality, but it did not resonate with anyone.

We had a dog named Enli which is an indian boy name that means "That dog over there" Actually i wanted to name a son Enli like the indians did, but I got overruled. With our big dog, we did not reach consensus so we just compromied. Her name is Amber Ladybug Castle Jensen. My youngest son is still a bit chagrined about having "Castle" rejected as a dog name. He probably wante dthe next one to be Moat or Ballista maybe drawbridge.

I will try to get a pitcure of the car following him around or laying on him. She is in love. Wierd cat. She has six toes. She is supposed to be feral, but she suddenl turned much more friendly and loving than our indoor cat (who pretty much despises the human race)

Coldjensens, you made me smile - my ex and I had a puppy named He-ooooo - actually, we never learned to spell it - it was actually He Who...HeWho-craps-on-the-floor, HeWho-goes-thru-the-trash, HeWho-dug-up-the-back-yard, HeWho-ate-my-shoe. You get the picture. He ended up being Buddy, but always answered to He-ooooo. And he ended up being a great dog - but his puppy years were a trip. He was a puppy until he was about 5.

Teddy Bear is doing well. He is bigger. He ls learning fast. Thing slike sit, and down faster than "No peeing ont he floor" "Also do not use the rug as toiletpaper" seems to be slow. He had a German Sheppard at puppy training that is like a best friend. THey are always so happy to see each other and they hang together and ignor the other dogs. However his very best friend is still the feral kitty. They are so funny together. They pet each other, lick each other and he tried to get her to play.

Sorry these are bad pictures. Camera phones are not the best. I think it is really amazing to see them together. I have never seen cats and dos pet each other.

We have always had dogs and cats together and even a few who tried to nurse each other. They groom, sleep, eat and play together like best friends do. I can't imagine one without the other.

Cute!

I wanted to name my hubby's Great Pyr "Teddy" because he looks seriously like a real Polar Bear but he won't let me.
He won't let me even suggest any food names either.
Said he wanted "majestic" names... to fit the "regal" quality of the breed.
I'd always say cutsie.. but he won't agree.

P.S. We have a cat too.

There is a better picture of them hanging out. Kitty got an abcess in her leg and has to come inside for a few days.
