He’s 5 months, been in a shelter the entire time, he’s very sweet but seems to have saved up all the chewing Hmm lol

He’s only been here since yesterday, we’ve cracked going upstairs (they were the work of beelzebub and he’s too chewy to leave alone so I had to sleep on the couch last night) made a start on crate training, he seems to have housetrained himself while in kennels which is a bonus, but I kind of need to call him something now to get started on everything else.

I don’t like people names, I don’t want anything like Marley or Bailey where you meet 2 on every walk...

Oh and it can’t have R in it (my DS has a speech disorder)

Also, my DP pointed out that my last two dogs have begun with a b, I don’t want that to be a thing, lol, so, preferably not starting with a b.

Not a clue what he is, they only ever had the puppies, not a mum and he actually looks like a completely different mix of dogs in every photo, lol... but I’ll put one in anyway so you can see him.

My front runner at the moment is Dax, but it’s only me that likes it, lol.

I considered bilbo, but it’s a b... and tbh, I’m not a massive hobbit or LORT fan, I just like it, so I’ve gone off that.

And I did seriously consider chomp, lol, but it sounds too similar to my cat’s name

So, um, I suspect quirky is probably what I’m after, but not so weird that my DP and DS object

TIA Grin

Oh he's adorable!

I'm glad you've gone for Dex, that's cool. I wish you many years of happiness with him, lucky pupper.

(my vote would have been for Scout, love that name from To Kill a Mockingbird).

@Mrsjayy

The stone chewing probably Is probably a stimulation thing he probably did it in kennels
It’s everything, as in - it’s more of a, wassat? does it chew? I think it could.. rather than being particularly keen on stone.

So I think it’s basically delayed exploration Smile

Just quite hard to redirect effectively without a name or any other way of actually getting his attention, lol

Hooray, someone who doesn't want to give their pet a people name.
How about
Kipling
Bennet (as in Alan)
Coogan (Steve and Clint Eastwood)
Just stopped at the petrol station, DH is inside paying so I have to sign off

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 06/03/2021 13:34

I was going to suggest Pippin or Samwise if you were going hobbit-y!

Hello Dexter! He looks like a lovely boy.

*It’s everything, as in - it’s more of a, wassat? does it chew? I think it could.. rather than being particularly keen on stone.

He looks like he may be part lab, in which case the thought process is more like, This is a Thing. I eat Thing.

From our list..
Atom
Storm
Shadow
Helix
Yoyo

Hugh - old dogs name
Alfie? Waffle? Malky, Bailey, Brodie, dexter, rufus, bramble?

My retriever eats all sorts - or tried to we now take him out on lead and have a word for going and then he gets a marker word and a treat for going. Then inside, so no eating or barking in the garden. Currently working on ‘leave’. Enjoy doggy and looking forward to hear the name

What about Odie? It's the dog from Garfield really but.... might suit

Plump82 · 09/03/2021 20:16

I think you've settled on Dexter but I'd have suggested Custard as he's the colour of a custard cream.
