> [@Dinsdale](#): > > **I’d better stop before I let on around here what a sentimental sap I really am!** As Kal said, DUH!!! Call him Bob. Bob is a good name for a dog. Although I do like Spike. Chief works too. Hell - my dog is named Baron. What do I know? 😃 ---

> [@TroubleAgain](#): > > Totally. 😉 But Crimson’s not a very masculine name, though, is it. There’s King Crimson. I like Buddy because that’s what I end up calling every pet regardless of their real name. ---

If you want to honor Whedon, name him Joss. Joss sort of looks like a golden retreiver, doesn’t he? StG ---

Ladies and gents, meet Buster T (for Tiberius). [![](https://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/marvinmolar/IMG_7376.jpg) ](https://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/marvinmolar/IMG_7376.jpg) Buster T Don’t ask. It was the product of considerable last minute negotiations with a house full of hardheaded young adults. First meeting [![](https://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/marvinmolar/IMG_7381.jpg) ](https://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/marvinmolar/IMG_7381.jpg) . Trying to figure out who’s in charge here?

[![](https://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/marvinmolar/IMG_7409.jpg) ](https://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/marvinmolar/IMG_7409.jpg) Clover has been as sweet as we could have hoped. Watching them play together is more fun than any other entertainment I could imagine. Clean bill of health at the vet’s this a.m. ---

Adorable puppy!!! And Clover looks like a sweetie, too. The internet needs to advance further so that I may reach through the screen and stroke their silky ears. ---

I swear, there is nothing in this world cuter than a golden retreiver pup. Clover’s being such a good girl, considering she’s just a pup, too. There’s a posting on Craigslist for a free german shepherd pup, who has a missing toe. 5 weeks old and bottlefed. But my work hours are too long for a puppy. And I don’t need a 6th large dog. _sigh_ StG ---
