Foster mom here...

He's a charming fellow, very sweet and loving. He is a papered Dane who was brought into rescue as an abuse case and that's all we know about his history. Aside from being extremely thin, he's HW+, about 8-10 mons old, and terrified of balls - basketballs, soccer balls, footballs, squeaky balls, or anything that looks like them.

Obviously he can't handle a conventional HW treatment at this time, so alternate therapies are being considered. He is filling in nicely and is learning "house" manners.

He doesn't have a name yet. I pray we don't end up with another "Hey Dog" sort of name. So far we've considered Ajax or Comet (what it'll take to REALLY get him clean), Milton (Fuzzy's idea), and Bender (because of his tail), but he didn't seem to react to any of those names. If I catch him in the kitchen sink again, I'm gonna give him a cloth to do the job with and call him "Dishwasher" or "Maytag."

Any suggestions on a name?
