Yeah, call him "Tiger" and make sure he is "injected" feed him first class fuel and he will fetch whatever you desire! (and a whole lot more too probably!)

Good luck with your cool new friend. :first: Cheers John.

PS: Just had a good look at pic 2. Such a lot of hope in those eyes, nice looking pup, hope you three make a great team.

[mstriumph]

soooooooo intelligent - he's been walkies on his new lead already!!

........... and he's just tried to 'fetch' the cat ........ sooooooooooo STOOPID!! :shutup:

[Big Dave]

Mess with its head - call it 'F*ck Off'

Check it out up there, if the dog takes control, you guys will be up there with the cat! :shit: (lol) John.

[zadok]

What a cutie. I'll have to come and check him out soon.:)

[SDU]

Congrats on the new babe!
Sure you'll find a name that will suit.

As for the cat let him get use to the wee fella bit by bit. Keep the pup calm- sleeping or lying still (give him treats) & let your cat into the same room & give him treats & cuddles too.
Feliway is a awesome product that helps cats in stressful situations like this. It's not cheap but I know heaps of people where its helped their cat to accept new pets into the home. Your vet should help out with some advice.
What about Sid for a name

Same room! Fat chance - dogs only come into our kennel on express permission on very rare occassions. He's going to be a rambunctious big fella and has his own place outside. I suppose the cat will either accept him or go next door - she's currently hanging out in the hayshed!

[mstriumph]

Rambunctious big fella?? ....that dawg is going to be a well-trained big fella ....:yes:

...... and "the cat can just go and live next door if she don't like it" unquote [or similar]??????

so i guess it musta been someone ELSE i saw/heard enticing the cat in thru the lounge window last night and telling her she's still number one cat and not to worry *cuddle cuddle*

you are soooooooooooooooo sprung, fella!!:sunny:

[Colapop]

Bruce... he can be any variation of that...

[mstriumph]

some of these suggestions added to the shortlist .... [no, NOT yours, BigDave - you are one sick puppy!! :laugh: ] .....

think the final descision could be made tonight :mellow: ,,, mebbe [getting tired of calling him 'hey you' lol]

spent a good part of yesterday arvo building a big run between the orchard and the chookhouse --- with a kennel that is about ten times too big currently [think we'll have to put a basket in there for him until he grows into it] ..............
............ he'll spend all his time loose when we are home but i hate having dogs tied up when no-one is home so a good-sized run seemed to be the answer until we can get one of those perimeter fence electronic thingys...

anyone had any experience with those?

[Crisis management]

Pick whatever name fits him best, but remember its you that has to call it out in public....I made the fatal mistake of letting the kids name one of our dogs, try calling out "buffy the vampire slayer" in the park, especially when your refering to a short fluffy schnauzer.

I only walk that dog after dark...

[Sniper]

Call it Spaz

[Alltrax]

he looks a bit like a stanley to me....hmmm....maybe a sam...

or you could name it after finn and call it "rahore" or dover "tutirahore" ;)

[Joni]

Yeah with me it does not matter what I name them... they always land up being called, smelly, stinky, fart bum... something like that :love: ... their real names are usually not used much...

No wonder my animals are generally confused individuals... :lol:

He's lovely btw guys....

If the cat doesn't get over it once it works out the dog is out doors, that feliway stuff will still work on helping the cat destress & relax so it'll want to stay & not pack its bags.
We are about to go through it soon with 2 giant breed pissing, shiting, & eating machines-puppies, the cat ain't gonna be happy- he's probably gonna go without packing his bags.

he looks like a sam to me too - but since one of the donkeys is already called TreacleSam it'd prolly be a bit much ............

an :confused: you'll hafta explain the bilingual jokes about finn and dover? :confused:

[Big Dave]

I wanted to say 'Vexorg' but couldn't back it up. Found it:

A person normally calls their dog Rover or Spot or Klein, or some
other such name. I called mine Sex, and it got me into constant
trouble.
One day when he was young, I took Sex for a walk and he slipped his
collar and ran away. I spent hours looking for him. A policeman came
along and asked me what I was doing. I said I was looking for Sex.
That was my first court appearance. One day I went to get my dog
registered. I told the clerk I wanted a licence for Sex. He said he
would like one too. When I said he didn't understand, that she was a
dog, he said he didn't care what she looked like. Again I said that
he didn't understand, and that I had had Sex since I was five years
old. He said I must've been a strong boy. When I decided to get
married, I told the minister that I wanted to have Sex at the
wedding. He told me to wait until after the ceremony. I said that Sex
had played a big part in my life and my whole lifestyle revolved
around Sex. He said he didn't want to hear about it and he would not
allow us to have Sex in the church. I told him all my friends and
relatives coming to the church would enjoy having Sex there. He
barred the lot of us and we had to get married in the Registery
Office. Of course, my wife and I took the dog along with us on our
honeymoon and when I checked into the hotel I told the clerk we
wanted an extra room for Sex. He said all of the rooms were for sex.
I said "you don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night", and the
clerk replied " me too". When my wife and I divorced, we went to
court to fight for the custody of the dog. I said "Your honour, I had
Sex before I was married," and he replied "me too". Well, now I have
been thrown in jail, been married, divorced, and had more darn
troubles than I had ever bargained on. Why, just the other day when I
went for my first session with my psychiatrist, she asked me what
seemed to be the problem. I replied that Sex had died and left my
life. It was like losing my best friend. She said "You should buy
yourself a dog!

[mstriumph]

---- bling awarded ...:killingme :clap: .... i'm still laughing!!!

Someone I used to work with had a dog called Jesus Christ. Because he was born on Christmas day.

Anyway, very cute puppy, I'm sure he will do his name justice (whatever it is). :yes:

[SPman]

I am Sam.

Sam I am!

without the treacle.

[oldrider]
