    i thought 'lover of peanut butter' was funny.

    i think animals should demonstrate their names, give him some time to show who he is and then name him.

    my dog's name is Lapa; he's a big Swiss Bernese; he had huge paws as a puppy, so I asked my wife how to say paw in Russian, it's "lapa", and it stuck;

    he is stupid; profoundly, mind-bogglingly, unfathomably stupid; well, not really, but he looks it, especially when he stares up at the rain...and he seems to get smarter when there's snow on the ground; but he's actually very sweet, very gentle - for example, when I am playing rough w/him, if my son wanders into the picture, the dog will stop on a dime and tone down his energy immediately - not bad...

    The Bernese is one of my favorite breeds...a shame they have relatively short livespans...have they worked that out of the breed yet?

    The one dog I've had in my adult life we ended up naming 'Loki'. Not too original as all puppies get in to mischief but there you go...

    having been a huge fan of the comic 'Calvin & Hobbes' I named the tabby stray that i picked up about 10 years ago 'Hobbes' ...it's a she but she hasn't seemed to mind the gender switch.

    in high school we had 3 dogs: a dane/lab mix, a miniature alaskan spitz and a pug.

    Joshua, Twiggy and GG...or The Big, the Bad and the Ugly.

    The pug was actually papered as "Glorious George's Georgous Girl" after her father. We got her when at 12 weeks when she just fit in your hand...she grew up wrestling with the dane/lab and chasing the spitz. When she was a year old we took her back to her parents and she weighed 5 pounds more than her sire...all muscle. Most people took her for a small bulldog. She was awesome.

    I have a flat-coat retriever http://www.fcrsainc.org/photogallery...lethwaite.html
    his name is Hung-Jai (Bear) and he is a total mush. Touch his head and he will immediately drop,roll over and demand a belly rub.
    But he is well trained in Hung-Ga

    Polizei is kind of a cool name. You could call him "Poli" for short (pronounce with a long "o", NOT like "polly." But people might confuse that with "Pauli." n/m

    I always thought,"Rik" was a cool name.
    and would only be fair, after all, I was named,"Rik" by my sister, after the neighbor's German Shepard.

    I keep hearing Sean Connery's voice in my head saying,"We named the dog Indiana!"

    now i'm thinking of the Barbara Walter's interview with Connery: '...if it's warranted...'
    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."
