I'm getting a dog!!

Yup, I'm getting a pug. Its a little 8 week old puppy that is soooo cute. We put a down payment on her, but we're not bringing her home until next week cuz we're going on vacation. I'll make sure to post some pictures once i get some. We haven't thought of a name yet, so I'd be happy to take some suggestions.

The names 'Grip', 'Fang' and 'Wolf' immediately suggest themselves.

Here, Snaga! Fetch, Snaga!

or

Sit, Ghan, Sit! (short for Ghan-buri-ghan)

Both of these names are of characters that might have a 'pug' face.

A dog? One of those vile creatures that makes messes on sidewalks??? Aren't you satisified with your bird?

You said it's female, but as you haven't read LotR, I don't think Galadriel, Arwen, or Eowyn would immediately jump out at you Maybe Denise (as in Richards, since you used to rave about her )

i can't see a pug as either Arwen, Galadriel, or Eowyn - maybe Beruthiel but that'd be better for a really "w"itchy cat (btw - how picky is the censor on this board?). or how about Ioreth?

I missed that dog is female. So here are some new suggestions:

Lobelia
Diz (isn't that the name of a female dwarf? I could be way off)
Ioerth (arynetrek said this one...it's pretty good)
Gollumina

In the appendices it says that Thorin's sister is named Dis.

How about Ungoliant or Smaug?

I think they're both pretty uni-sex names.

Maggot?

what about Shelob?

oh, no! she was a cat

Thuringwethil

I should have mentioned the name does not have to be Tolkien related.

Oh. :|

Name it S****py or Scruffy or something like that then.

How about "dog belonging to guy who'se five feet tall (or short)?"

ouch!

Here's a pic we took at the pet store the other day. Thats me holding the dog. We are picking the dog up today!

By the way, the tentative name for her, thought of by my sister, is Honey. I would appreciate it if someone thought of a better name quick.

Please change your signature, or do not use it at this board

better?

btw, this is my 100th post as thrawn96.

I don't think that it matters to stay true to gender when choosing a name for an animal, so I choose Gollum.....I mean just look at that thing.

ouch, ouch, ouch!!!

Looks like a manic deppressive creature to me
