No longer nameless… turns out she's a "Scout"!

  • Whatever you name her, make sure it's easy to yell out the back door! ;-)

  • Like giza said….easy to yell out.

    my puppy's name rolls off the tongue; instead of "stop it!" I end up saying her name 'Bop-it'. Works out.

    Scout's a cute name; and it sounds like you've settled on it.

    The names Cumbia, Mach, Blitz, Wildone, and Opus were some of the names on my old puppy list.

  • You said you were smitten with her earlier. Why not call her that? Smitten?

  • @vickilb:

    Peanut!!!!

    Ha! That was one of my nicknames as a kid, and now one of my old besties calls her new baby Peanut =)

    Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! Scout does seem to have stuck. Now I'm debating whether she should be "Nocturnal's Gold Award Girl Scout" or "Nocturnal's Sin t'Kill a Mockingbird" or "Nocturnal's Miss Jean Louise" or a deeper TKM cut like "Nocturnal's Pass the Dann Ham Please"!

    @Pat/tanza, her dam appears to be an unremarkable canine named Brooke's Butterfinger Candy =).

    She is turning out to be a world of fun. Really getting me to think on my feet. I'm still trying to avoid formal "training" for another couple weeks, but it's hard not to reward offered behaviors and she's already come up with a few clever "stupid pet tricks" of her own! ;0)

    Here's a pile of photos–we love her so very much! (PS: Please don't be alarmed about the chain in the first photo, we don't tie our dogs out. I was just doing outdoor chores and needed to ensure there were no food squabbles while we practiced everyone chewing their own bones in their own designated areas.) Also throwing in one of my old man, too, just because he's feeling a little left out of the training fun, poor fella.

  • beautiful photos

  • She is adorable! Scout is a great name, easy to "yell out the back door"!

  • Thanks on all counts! "Scout" seems just right. She is certainly an explorer. And I am clearly biased, but I think she's pretty cute myself ;0). She is fun to shoot. I love the "details" on her–like the black inner ear tips. And I can't get enough of that tiny smirk!

    Blitz is great! I'm keeping Mighty, Puma, Rizzo, Radar and Zoom-Zoom in my pocket ;0)

  • Whatever you name her, she is a cutie!

  • Soooo cute, should give a name..

    Arrrgggg technology! Here's another attempt: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58136979@N03/5429455987/ If it doesn't work, it's her chewing on a huge bully stick.

    Usually we put presents under the tree, but I just don't dare since getting the B girls! Presents all hide in closets until it's actually time for them to be opened. We always wrap special treats for the girls and the cat as well, so they can tear something open to get to the goodies. Then the treats keep them busy while everyone else is unwrapping. The great-grandkids have been warned NOT to leave their stuff on the floor or where they look like dog toys on tables, etc.

    @AJs: It's just AJ and I. He's great. Only time I've had a problem with him waking me up was when he was sick with the runs for three days. He would whine to wake me up and go outside. Been there, done that. Gotta love those 3 a.m. wake-up calls, especially when its freezing outside.:)
