I think Sammie and Delilah are a good pair of names if you are fond of Delilah already. They are quite adorable though 🙂

I read about a woman who named her sibling pets Hey You and Who Me. They were kittens, but I thought the names were cute.

My mom had two girl cats from the same litter, their names were Delilah and Jasmine. They lived long, happy lives and are no longer with us. Would love to see their names used again on adorable pups.

Given the circumstances, I recommend Faith and Hope. Then when future deadbeat tenants ask, you can glare at them and say, “There’s no Charity here.”

I’m glad you found her and got them to new homes. It brightens my day that some of them find good places.

I was going to suggest that they looked like Thelma and Louise but I was beaten to it.

If they have the attitude one would expect from little terrier-y doggies like those look like, I would campaign so hard for Honey and Badger.

Dolce and Gabbana? I called my cats that, but I think it fits your pups too. Failing that, how about Gin and Tonic?

I thought I would offer an update! The puppies are officially named Honey and Badger. Honey is smaller, has super soft fur, and a head reminiscent of a chihuahua. Badger is much larger than honey and is soft, but her fur is certainly significantly different (more coarse) than Honey. Badger also has a more. . . well, either a terrier or schnauzer looking head (minus the beard). Anyway, each day that passes, the size difference grows between the two of them. I suspect they may have different dads, because they are _just_ different enough from one another.

They’ve mastered “sit,” “stay,” and “shake.” We’ll be working on lay down and come in the coming week. Oh, and they are also about 98% potty trained- not even one single accident in their crate!

Don’t worry, there are pictures. And videos. You’re welcome.

Already mentioned, but I think Thelma and Louise is fitting considering the background. Wait a bit and name the nutty one; Louise. Or as I would call her Lou-Lou.

Thelma and Lou-Lou.

Edit: Looks like a Schnauzer/terrier mix.
