    Promise... new home, new name? =)

    Ok all... We're all tickled pink on this end! It's like waiting for a baby! hehe If all continues to go as planned, on July 7th we'll have a new addition arriving on a Delta flight from NC. The little girl pup that Rescue4puppies rescued is gonna come to her forever home!

    I'm excited as all heck, and Bella (my gf) is excited too! It'll be nice to have another female around... waaaaay too much testosterone some days! Arthur will have someone about his age to play with, and we'll be helping a gorgeous little girl who deserves the best. I only wish we could take all of them!

    We were thinking whether or not to change her name when she gets here... Right now, Tracy (R4P) and her family has been calling her Promise. Opinions? Ideas? Should we give her a new name to start off her new life?

    Btw, R4P deserves a HUGE 3 cheers for taking these pups in and taking care of them!

    I think you should rename her. And, congratulations! I'm excited for you!


    Thanks, Dogz!

    I think Promise is a great name! I would be very excited, too. We'll need lots of pics, of course

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Ooh... ideas for names! Woo hoo! I'm gonna gather the more popular ones, and eventually I'll have a poll going.

    So far we've got:
    Promise (don't change it)
    Lucky
    Hope
    Cyma (see-mah)

    this is one of my favorite things to do! I love names! Give me an idea on what kind of names you like. People names, names that represent the origin of the breed, the color of the dog, the size of the dog, the circumstances surrounding the dog, long names, short names, people names, etc......


    Thanks, Dogz!

    Nothing too long I think. 2 syllables at the most, unless there's a really really good one that's longer. People names are fine (i think all our animals except the ferrets have people names!), interesting names that mean something, something that has to do with her situation, something that suits the way she looks (she's a rotti/shep. mix we think, no pics yet except for the one on r4p's thread)... I'm up for any suggestions! Knock yourself out! hehehe

    Black and tan... think a rottie with longer hair.. if you look at the dog of the day, she'll probably look a bit like her when she grows up.

    Here's a few more names to throw out there:
    Kanoa (Hawaiian, free one)
    Ekiya (hawaiian, rich gift)
    Ke'ala (Hawaiian, rich fragrance)
    Kona (Hawaiian, lady)
    Pele (Hawaiian, godess of fire/volcano)
    Carys (Welsh, to love)
    Glain (Welsh, jewel)
    Brites (bri-tis, Celtic, strength)
    Aiden (Gaelic, little fiery one)
