What is the name of your dog(s)?

Mine are: Riley, Dolly, and Gus.

Cody, Buffy and a little one we're still trying to figure out. My kids are shooting for Sparky - I'm rather fond of Frodo LOL. However, as she's a wee girlie, I don't think Frodo stands a chance. Maybe Sophie!

I have Cookie, Cody and Bentley. The first two came with their names, Bentley is the only one I've chosen a name for. His name came pretty quickly, though!

Aw... I love the name Bentley! It's adorable! What kind of dogs are they??

Snickers :P

Bentley and Cody are Australian Cattle Dogs, and Cookie is a Sheltie. When I was springing Bentley from the shelter, one of the shelter workers told me that the white marking on the heads of Cattle Dogs is called a "Bentley mark" after an early breeder of the Cattle Dogs. I decided it would make a good name for him.

These are great names. I really love the name Bentley as well. We are about to foster a little puppy named Wishbone. I'm not sure how he acquired this name. :-)

We have a Staffordshire terrier mutt who is orange. His name is Randall. That's the name he came with from the humane society.

We also have a rat terrier mix who was unnamed at the humane society. He was very small, and "Donut" didn't fit him at all, so we renamed him Pippin. It was the first name we came up with, and it was perfect!

We also have two sugar gliders named Hamlet and Rafiki. I often mix up all their names, which is always amusing!

We had 3 generations of poodles dropped on us by my sister - Gigi (grandmother), Tigger (mother), Muffin (daughter). While we still had Muffin, we adopted an eight-year-old, female Maltese mix from the vet. And her name was Muffin too. When we lost our last Muffin, we adopted a seven-month-old Boston Terrier mix and her name is Sparky. She is now 12-1/2 years old. She has Cushing's syndrome and I'm not sure how much longer she will be around. She still chases everything in the yard and has the 3 of us under her paw.

We currently have Buster (beagle mix) and Callie (cockapoo). We have had Arlo (flat coated retriever mix), Shorty (doberman) and Queenie (also a dobie). We love them all, and no new dog has ever "replaced" one that had crossed the Rainbow Bridge. They just merely help you through the hurt, and start you with a whole brand-new bunch of memories.
