    Getting a New Dog

    Hello
    Well after we had to put Chipper down, we decided to get a new dog, he is a Golden 10 months old we will be picking him up on Saturday. I'm very excited. The problem is the dog's name is STEWIE...................Its no biggie but I don't really like the name so my friends can any one come up with a name that sounds like STEWIE??????????????????


    Thanks

    Do you need a name that sounds like Stewie? We changed my Doberman's name from Ebony to Keeva with no problems at all and they're not at all similar. I'll try to come up with some for you though, and congrats on the new addition!

    My Keeva is somewhere between 8 & 10 months, we're not really exactly sure since she's a rescue and like I said, she got used to it just fine. Really, all a name is to a dog is something we say to get their attention. I'm sure your Golden will catch on pretty quickly just as long as you praise him whenever you say his new name and he looks at you in response. Where are you getting him from? Chances are, if he is in a shelter or Humane Society they gave him the name and he probablt barely knows it. If you're getting him from a breeder it'll take him a little onger to get used to a new name but he'll get used to it

    We kept Angel's name because we didn't know if she would stay with us furever. When it came to adopting her we already thought of her as Angel. She now, after five weeks, comes to a long list of names that aren't worth listing but I can assure you that most of them would sound nothing like Angel! She is four years old.
