Question: Help me find a name for my new rescue dog.

Piglet — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 12:09:44 -0800

Help me name my new rescue dog. Obligatory pic after the jump.

I adopted a 3 year old female rat terrier yesterday. She didn't come with a name since she was a stray.

She's cute as can be and very active, sweet, and lively. Help me find a good name for this sweet girl.

So far I've thought about and rejected Ruby, Annie, Dora, and Penny.
Junebug is my frontrunner right now.

She is utterly cute. She looks like a Cricket or a Sweetpea to me.

Honestly, Piglet would make a great name for that dog.

My favorite dog name ever is Champion.

Or Mittens.

(I'm really fond of giving pets really weird names, says the owner of Mall Cop, the best cat on the planet.)

I like Junebug, but Dora implies the adventure of being a rescue dog. :)

I like several of the names above: Polly, Pickles and Lola.
I think she looks feisty, not like a girly girl, so she needs a name that isn't too foofy.

I know a dog who looks like that whose name is Pickles! It's a great name. I like Cricket too. How about Minnow?

I am a mad Rat Terrier lover and she looks like a "Shelia" to me.

She is super cute, oh make sure she has a blanket to snuggle under, I haven't met a Rattie yet that doesn't like curling up under a blanket or on your clean laundry. Of course now I've said that she'll turn out to be the exception to the rule.

By: Piglet

Piglet — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 16:05:46 -0800

Thanks for the input. It looks like she's Junebug after all.

I do like Piglet, too, but I think she's more of a bug.

She seems like she might be a little bit sassy- I'd call her Billie or Mabie and Mamie....something like that.
