Well...... I like Jazzy for dog's name but I am not crazy about Jasmine since my grandbaby is Jasmine. But that is silly because lots of people have Katie's, Jack's, Sadie's as children's names. I like Sophie but I don't think you should name your dog that just because Brandon likes it. After all it is YOUR dog and no matter what any one including any of us says, it should be YOUR choice. I highly doubt if any of us are going to be terribly hurt if you pick a name that we either had for a RB dog, a future dog or even a grandchild. We are all way tooo happy for you and your new baby!!!

As for choosing dog's names, the reason ours, except for Oreo, have the ones they do is because they came with those names. It probably would have been easy to change Snoopy or Taggert but we couldn't come up with anything we liked better so they stuck. (And Snoopy is one of the snoopiest dogs alive). Naming dogs, I think, is one of the hardest things to do.

By the way.... dogs on leashes tend to be a little more uptight around dogs that are loose, I've found. It's because they know they can't get away if need be and they go on the defensive.
I have found that to be true too - that is why I try to get people coming in to the dog park to let their dogs off the leash as they are coming in. It has to be very intimidating for a dog on a leash to come into a mass of loose dogs greeting him. You can see it as we approach the park along that trail. The dogs growl and fight to get through the fence at each other. Then when you enter they sniff each other and take off in all directions. Dazzi does it even with dogs she knows and gets along with - I guess it's just that thing - I'm tied up and your free but if I wasn't tied up and wanted too I could beat your @$$.
