mrsteacher · 12/05/2006 18:13

who is it then1!?!?

GaelicRose · 12/05/2006 18:24

Hi Everyone,

I am so sorry about using your nicknames. A friend of mine named the dogs for me as I could not think of any good names at the time. Yes, I am from USA and am an Irish decendent as well as English, Scottish, Dutch, French Canadian and American Indian. I have 3 children and do raise Labrador Retrievers in real life. I used to have pugs in the ShowDog.com game, but gave them up a few months ago. Yes, Madra means dog and was a cool thing to use as my affix. I see that a few of you are freaked out by your nick names being used and some of you actually are wanting dogs named after you. Then there are those that are glad they have not been named. Please accept my sincere apology. Forever Homed means that instead of staying in the show kennel, the dogs are giving to a loving family to relax and be couch potatoes for the rest of their 'lives'. I would be happy to answer any and all questions from any of you. Once again, I am sorry....

oh don't worry, don't think anyone minds! It's a good way to get some cool names, and fairly obvious there wasn't really anything sinister about it at all.

now please name one of those cute little puppies arfy Grin

GaelicRose · 12/05/2006 18:30

I can do that. I have several litters that will soon be 10 days old and can name one of the pups that. Do you wish to have a boy or girl dog named after you??

The Mystery of the Virtual Show Dogs is solvedGrin

Blu · 12/05/2006 18:33

oooh, Arfy is a GREAT name for a dog, if i had a RL dog, I might call it Arfy!

arfy · 12/05/2006 18:35

it is a good dog name isn't it!

ah you don't have to really, but I guess arfy sounds more like a boy Grin

GamelanCarrier · 12/05/2006 18:36

pleeeeeease don't apologise
it's all rather sweet really
welcome to MN GaelicRose

FrannyandZooey · 12/05/2006 18:40

Can I-IIII have a dog named after me-eee?

Please?

hunkermunker · 12/05/2006 18:41

ROFL!

There's only one thing worse than having an imaginary show dog named after you, and that's not having one named after you.

Marvellous!

Welcome to MN, GR Grin

GamelanCarrier · 12/05/2006 18:41

yes franny you can be a pair of those little whiny type dogs that Paris Hilton carries around in her handbag

GaelicRose · 12/05/2006 18:44

FrannyandZooey, I would be happy to name a pair of girl dogs after you that I will be keeping. Anyone else want me to name a dog after them??

Thank you for the wonderful welcome and I am glad my friend introduced me to MN. :o

FrannyandZooey · 12/05/2006 18:46
Shock

put that bloody Gamelan down, HC, it's making you a bit grumpy dear

Gaelic Rose, that would be lovely :)

Now are you going to spill who your mate is?

GaelicRose · 12/05/2006 18:48

I honestly don't know her name on MN, so no, I can't. She will have to come out into the open on her own, but rest assured she is a wonderful caring individual. Wink

Blu · 12/05/2006 18:49

So you haven't named a dog after her?

mrsteacher · 12/05/2006 18:50

we need to know who it is:)

GaelicRose · 12/05/2006 18:52

No, I have not named a dog after her. She named the dogs for me, so unless she named a dog after herself???? We will all just have to wait patiently for her to fess up.
