Because she had a “ruff” start and is such a pretty little thing, I think she should have a dignified name. I pick Sophie. What a lucky dog to have found a friend in you 🙂 Kermit ---

She’s absolutely adorable! I agree that she should have something dignified, though, after her undignified former life. Chloe or Elise, definitely. ---

Even before I scrolled the thread I knew this dog’s name must be Snowball Dognatius (Your Last Name). ---

**Doug** already nominated my first thought, Sugar. I think Sophie’s a good name, too. ---

You’ll think I am terribly weird but my dog’s name is Bernadette and the cat is Ali Khan, so I am into unusual names for animals. First thing I saw when I looked at your pix was “Esmerelda”. I know, first impression is - eeew, why that?? Because you can call her Ezzie, and Ezmerelda is a pincess name, and she does look like a princess, albiet a somewhat downplayed one right now because of the recent vet trip but…I have a pink bear, she’s the softest thing ever. And she sits on my desk next to my computer where I work every day. And I call her Ezzie. My contribution, odd or not. Inky PS - Bernie walks wonky - her backside walks off line with her front legs. No problem, she just walks that way. So she looks zig-zaggy. Well, she also acts like a ping-pong ball on crack at times… ---
