One of my all breed club associates has Shelties. One is called "Please" (Gotta Say Please), another "Debit" (Cost a Grand), and another "Tidy" (Clean Sweep). I get a real kick when I listen to her calling her dogs to her < Please, Debit, Tidy, Please,> . Some people have a knack for naming their dogs but remember the dogs often grow into their names...do you really want to have to beg them to sit?

Emilie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jami Vander Kooi" <thekooiet@xxxxxxxxx> I just wanted to share A man writes the following...."I love my Goldendoodle...But I understand he will not live forever. I told my wife that our next dog has to be a German Shepherd. I want to name him 'The Lord.' That way when people ask whose dog this is, I can reply 'The Lord is my Shepherd.' Is this wrong?" Seriously. I love the way some people think. :) Jami Vander Kooi ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
