Gun Dog Name: Update Page 13

Just don't name your dog "###" and here is why:

Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him "Rover" or "Spot". I call mine ###. Now, ### has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to the City Hall to renew the dog's license, I told the clerk that I would like a license for ###. He said, "I would like to have one too!" Then I said, "But she is a dog!" He said he didn't care what she looked like. I said, "You don't understand. ... I have had ### since I was nine years old." He replied, "You must have been quite a strong boy." When I decided to get married, I told the minister that I would like to have ### at the wedding. He told me to wait until after the wedding was over. I said, "But ### has played a big part in my life and my whole world revolves around ###." He said he didn't want to hear about my personal life and would not marry us in his church. I told him everyone would enjoy having ### at the wedding. The next day we were married at the Justice of the Peace. My family was barred from the church from then on.

When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, I took the dog with me. When we checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for me and my wife and a special room for ###. He said that every room in the motel is a place for ###. I said, "You don't understand. ... ### keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too!"

One day I entered ### in a contest. But before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I told him that I was going to have ### in the contest. He said that I should have sold my own tickets. "You don't understand," I said, "I hoped to have ### on TV." He called me a show off.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had ### before I was married but ### left me after I was married." The Judge said, "Same here!"

Last night ### ran off again. I spent hours looking all over for her. A cop came over and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in the morning. I said, "I'm looking for ###." -- My case comes up next Thursday.

Well now I've been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more damn troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw. Why just the other day when I went for my first session with the psychiatrist, she asked me, "What seems to be the trouble?" I replied, "### has been my best friend all my life but now it has left me for ever. I can't live any longer being so lonely." and the doctor said, "Look mister, you should understand that ### isn't a man's best friend so go get yourself a dog."
 
I had a black lab, a male, many years ago I named "Nitro". His registered name was taken from two sources. First was where I first started waterfowling as a kid, Luther's Marsh, and second was my favorite ammo way back then(late 70's) when lead was allowed, the Remington Nitro Mag. So I registered him as Luther's Nitro Mag Express and called him "Nitro". Just a thought but you could combine your faves?!;)

This is my favorite pic of him.

Beautiful pic. Looks like calender material. Ducks Unlimited.

My pup is Rip Snort Van Hiccup, on accout of all the sounds she made and still makes. Ripper or Snorter or just Rip. Had her longer than I've had my kids.
 
My brother has had a few over the years...first was Remington (Remmy for short), then Tika, now he has Cali, short for Calibre. Then we had a cat named Winchester. Someday I've got a get a pet I can call Savage!
 
Names I've given my dogs were, Odin, Indy, Bud.
Others that come to mind are Nike , trigger, tiger....I tend to see his character for a few weeks then ponder over a name.
Odin came to mind because as a pup he seemed to be studious, thoughtful and wise for his young age.
Indy because of his laps around the back yard and well... Bud, for his eagerness to knock over a beer and lap it up...:)
 
how about Moose? its unique, one syllable, and related to hunting. i win, whats my prize? :D

since others are posting pics of labs... Kiilo is over 2 years old now and the red coloration continues to get darker although she is a registered yellow. gracie, the younger beagle/walker hound, keeps the lazy lab in shape :)
