So, finally, our long awaited rescue pooch is coming tomorrow!!!! A black lab bitch. Any advice? Also taking name recommendations!

[2T2T]

That's all

Pepper.

Congratulations.

Don't name her yet. Wait for a day or two (it won't make any difference to her, honest) and see what fits.

Our dog was going to be Zero (as per Nightmare before Xmas). He just wasn't a Zero, he was a Mouse. But I'd never have known that beforehand

Actually, Zero would have suited him beautifully if he'd been a black lab!

hmm - pondering! What fun! I haven't told the children yet. Should I?

Our neighbour's working black lab is a Purdey. Lovely dog except he lets her start her walk alone so we get an occasional huge crap on the rockery!

Ebony (Bonny for short) ?

Cracker - it is nearly Christmas!

Bonnie is good, Cassie, Casey (my pre marriage initials were K.C.), Evie might be good as she is black!

Try this....!

What about Jazz, Panda, Jinx???

i like Basia too

scarlet - that is a great great thread! I always love the name Gloria for one of our cats. Then I went for Mabel (my lovely dearly departed nan's name) But was vetoed - I also love Liberty (Libby ) that just about sums up my life right now. Libby the labby?

dog too ill to come to us yet. Shes's from an Irish pound .

Oh, poor pooch :( What's wrong with her?

Oh no, 2T, do you know what kind of ill? Poor pup

Mouse is also from an Irish pound (and an Irish dustbin, originally ) but luckily fighting fit, if a lot undernourished when we first got him.

she has very bad worms. Vomiting them up . Plus diarrhoea .

Poor puppy Hope she's better soon

Diarrhoea hopefully will go when the worms are sorted - poor pup. Hope the meds work fast.

poor pup.
