TOTALLY Off-Topic, but our puppy needs a name :)

Just adding a lighthearted moment to your day...can you help us name our puppy? It's really tricky for our family to agree on a name we all like. She's a mix of Bichon Frise and Shih Tzu and has a mostly white body with caramel stripes on her back. We have a teenage boy so we don't an overly feminine or cutesy name and would love to stick to 1 or 2 syllables. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Comments (41)San, SIL just started working this January at the bank and is only working part time as it is. She had been working 2 other jobs all part time in addition to this one so I know she is exhausted. Good news is that baby and mommy get to go home today already. I bet they are ready for the time to be out of the hospital. I just hope that someone can stay and help out for awhile. My mom stayed with my sis and I with our 2 c=sections each for about a month. And let me tell you that was heaven.(don't ask Dan what he thought of it:) But since she is a daughter in law she is afraid to offer to stay.She offered to stay in the hospital overnight to change diapers, and give a pacifier or sugar water to hold out feedings a little bit ( I know it was great when she did this for me) but my SIL promptly announced that she would figure it out and handle everything on her own. I know that when I came home mom was there to help, added to that with Hayden I had 6 weeks bed rest and a 2 and 4 year old that wanted to help) But I cried like a baby when it was time for her to go home. It was so nice having another adult there. My brother works Construction and works 60 hour weeks so won't be able to be at home. And now my sil's mom who was going to stay and help will be flying home on Monday leaving Becky at home alone with the baby, her first and she reaaly doesn't have a clue, not ever being one to be around babiies at all. Just knowing the maternal instict will pop up and help matters out. Stacie...See MoreTotally off-topic
Comments (18)At one time we had 3 Rottweilers- that's over 300 pounds of dogs. But they were truly gentle giants with sweet dispositions. The best part is that they're not an energetic breed- our previous dog was a German Shepherd who lived and breathed tennis balls and Frisbees. Our rotties would play ball or fetch for about 10 minutes then they'd be quite content to come inside and loll around for the rest of the day. I love my dogs but they're not allowed on the furniture or upstairs. I tease my DH and tell him that I know he won't be sleeping alone if I leave this earth before him - because he'll immediately invite whatever dog we have at the time to sleep with him....See MoreKitchens friends I need off topic help. : (
Comments (22)lindiver, I had similar problems a few months ago. When I contacted GW for help, adding that my problems coincided with forum changes (needing to double click to go back, among other issues), they said they were unrelated and the problem was at my end. However, nothing we did to fix it helped (my husband is a software engineer, too). When GW finally fixed the formatting problems, my problems went away like magic. Sorry I can't help you but I wanted to let you know that I was similarly frustrated when I asked for assistance. Hang in there!...See More

Dogs need a name with no more than two syllables with distinct consonant sounds to understand that you are calling them when at the dog park.-Re : Snowball or Cocoa-, the "O" sound is too similar to NO!, which is a scolding. Know that many dogs are named Bella, due to that vampire Twilight series. If you call her, you want her to respond, not 5 other dogs too,
-Considering your teenage son's age: Cujo or COWGIRL. Both are hard consonant names that won't sound silly when called in public spaces.My Shihtzu-Bichon is named Cowboy. His colors faded to WHITE with a bit of apricot now. His furry legs reminded me of furry cowboy chaps. We've never met another dog with the same name.
