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? 
Believe it or not, PITA is already taken as it is Clover’s nickname.
Don’t like Spike but along the same lines…Butch may work.
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?

Duane.
Or possibly Steve. Or Tonka.
Ladies and gents, meet Buster T (for Tiberius).
Buster T Don’t ask. It was the product of considerable last minute negotiations with a house full of hardheaded young adults.
First meeting
.
Trying to figure out who’s in charge here?
Resting up for another round.
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.
Absolutely adorable.
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

That pup is positively scrumptious! Soooo cute. I can smell his puppy smell from here. Mmmmmmm…puppy smell…
