I think you absolutely MUST get a Scarlett!

I forgot to mention that many years ago my parents took in a yorkie whose elderly owner had passed. The dog came with the name Calvin. When my brother got a cat, shortly after that, he named it Hobbes.

So true. Over the last several years I lost Smokey & The Bandit, they both died at age 18.

1st Rescue - Cur Mix is are crazy Cozmo just like Cozmo Kramer from Seinfield.

2nd and 3rd Rescue - Brother and Sister Catahoula's, they were named Sparky and Spanky from the rescue but it just didn't fit them.

She was a very dark brindle and her face reminded me of the Hyena - so "Eenaa" was named, "Eenaa Bean" for fun and most of the time "Beans".

Her brother was mostly white but had ticking, so my husband said it looks like he has leopard spots, so it became "Leeperr" or "Leeps" for short since he definitely can leap.

I have a Golden Retriever and her name is Sunshine but we call her Sunny for short. I love summertime, beachy things and I had either Sunshine or Paradise (Dicey for short) picked out and went with sunshine, it fit her well...she is a friendly happy and golden dog, just like sunshine.

I have a English Bulldog/possible English Staffie mix named Chumly already named from a rescue in the UK. He looks more bulldog. Also a wire-haired Dachshund called Barney aka Barney Longbody, or Gimpy or Charlie Chaplin (he has slightly deformed front legs). Also a rescue.
FYI... Chumly is the proper pronunciation of the English name Cholmondeley! No joke!

Jake, a German Shepherd. His shelter name was Fritz, which really didn't fit him. We named him after Joliet Jake Blues in the Blues Brothers.

Both of ours are rescues, two years apart.

Bowser: the husky mix, as a kid growing up I loved the Mario brothers games with my brothers, and I Yoshi was my favorite character. I always said I'd name my first dog Yoshi...then Bowser came about and Yoshi didn't seem to fit....sounded more like a small dog name for some reason. So I opted for Bowser instead :-)

Karma: we think she is some kind of pit mix... she was abandoned at 2 weeks old, when I found her. She didn't have a name for a while and I couldn't think of what to name her. With the help of a friend I eventually came up with Karma, hopefully good karma to us, and bad to those who abandoned her and left her to die.

They are both great dogs.

The family dog growing up, yellow lab, was named Boomer. My Mom picked this out bc 1. "He was born on the forth of July and fireworks go boom" lol. And 2. He's a lab, and "he goes and comes back like a boomerang." She's funny...but it has stuck...we even call his middle name "rang" ;-)

Disco (American Pitbull Terrier)
I just thought it was a cute name for a dog. His original name was Duke, that name didn't seem to fit him.
