Getting some puppy crushes from this thread!
I have a 7 month old Labrador Retriever named Harvey (he is yellow). In my defense, I named him before the hurricane and the Weinstein scandal. He was named in memory of Harvey Pekar. I’d like a do-over on the name, but the boy caught on quick to at least that.
Don’t be silly. Otherwise, I would have named my dog Password. 
We once had a retired wheelchair service dog. She was a Giant Schnauzer, which in personality bear no resemblance whatsoever to the Miniature types. She was a really calm dog, who only barked when we were going to the dog park, and got within a block, because she wanted to make sure we didn’t miss it. And that was after her retraining to be a pet. It took like six months, but we had to work with her to get her comfortable with just being a regular old dog. Once we did, though, she really enjoyed her retirement.
Funny thing, all three of the dogs we had most of the time we had her we very friendly and would go up to anyone who wanted to pet them. Unless we met a person in a wheelchair. Then the other two would go up and be just as friendly as ever, but our retiree would look the other way, like “Hey, what chair?-- I’m retired.” It was kinda funny.
We have a shih tzu/Maltese known as Magoo, after the cartoon character. Aka Goo, Googola, and Googie. He’s really smart and a little willful.
8 year old blue eyed beagle/heeler mix named Ginger (nickname Numbskully).
Scottish Terrier, named Mackie.
Zeus, St. Bernard with some Pyrenees, a rescue, was run over as a puppy, physically challenged and can’t walk for long distances. I will spoil him to the end.
Blondie, that sorta lives here as owners are having difficulties right now. Blond Lab I think. ( we have cats also )
Labrador Retriever girl (black) is Luna (Cedarwood Moon On Fire, if we’re being nitpicky)
Tennessee Tripod Ditch Dog girl (sand) is Annie. I won’t add the other names I called her this morning when she barged in through the screen door and let the cats out :mad:
10 year old 70 lb. Black lab/border collie mix named Banjo. I call him Pooter because he poots quite audibly. He’s got the looks of the collie and the stone head of the labrador.
10 year old 38 lb. Dorgi (corgi/long-haired doxie) named Mikey. He’s loving with me but aggressive to any dog bigger than himself. He once chased our neighbor’s 100 lb rotty, Bear, up on their couch and then ate all of the food in Bear’s dish. Cheeky little shit.
Harry, long-haired Chihuahua
Buddy, large terrier mix
Talbot, small dog, I have no idea
11 year old rescue Akita, “Kobi” like the beef~~He was 2 when rescued was a wilting 80 lbs. quickly got up to 150. I train Staffordshires, thinking they were the smartest of Dog’s but this Akita is amazing. Due to his size he is not long for this planet. He has brought me 9 years of joy & companionship. If I can figure out posting a pic I shall. He’s spectacular~
Benny, about to turn 1, is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
Just call 'em “Tollers.”
Cinnamon is a golden-terrier, I think.
Eight year old male Bichon Frise named Martini.
Keeshond named Pepper, a/k/a Shmoopy, Tushy, Tummy, and Old Lady (She’ll be 13 next month)
One month after we lost our golden Cooper last summer, we lost Charlie the Wonder Dog. He’s behind Coop in the second picture. It was a shitty summer. I had sworn off owning another dog for at least a couple of years. Yeah right.
About a month ago, my friend who fosters dogs came over with Finn. We weren’t looking for a new dog, but an afternoon visit ended up lasting four days. Then he was ours and now we have a 2 year old Cattle Dog/Lab mix messing up our house and stealing our hearts.
Havanese named Ernie
-appropriate on two levels:
named after (Ernesto) Che Guevera, a Cuban historical figure
and
his black crazy head hair looks just like Bert and Ernie, with the squatness similar to Ernie
Added:
I got chewed out by a fellow vet visitor who said, “You have a Havanese named Ernie? I hope you didn’t name him after Che! One of the most horrible humans who ever lived.” To be honest the Che namesake is a bit of a joke, but the amazing leap by this angry guy was quite something.
A rescue boxer named Cash, as in Cassius Clay.
LTLILI v3.0 (Long Term Live In Love Interest) came with a 130 pound black Great Dane named Adie, who is now 8 years old.
Together we’ve acquired Mischief the 70 pound Flat Coat Retriever, who is now 4 years old.
