Another vote for Snickers.

Or Ruby or Lola, or Sophie. She needs an old-fashioned name.

What a great smile! 😃

Or Dolores, she could be DeeDee for short.

Or Shirley or Mildred. Or Hyacinth, Rose, Violet, or Daisy.

I’m not allowed to name pets in mys house anymore.

After naming my dog - **What** and my cat **Huh** our next pets were  
a dog named **Idono** (I don’t know) and a cat named **Kittykittykitty** followed by a cat named **Kittykitty**.

My wife revoked all of my naming rights and brought home a dog and named him \*\*Buster \*\*(I had picked out **Huzaskin** ). I refused to call the dog **Buster** because he was obviously a **Bubba** , the name that stuck with him through all 13 years of his too short life and obviously made some kind of impression on me.

You have my permission to reuse any of my pet names for your too cute pooch.

I suggest \*\*Kittykittykitty \*\*which I think works well for a female.

On the theory that baseball-inspired names should be used more for dogs, I propose “Babe” (someday I’d like to have Cavalier King Charles spaniels named Merkle and Snodgrass).

I agree ([our Bubba](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/touton/7409bd45.jpg)).
