Question
OK, I am hoping that Bea lives a nice long time, but she is already about 13 and had a very hard first 5 years.
A friend in MI has goldens in breeding age and for the last 2 Decembers I just fall for the pics of the puppies. Bea won't tolerate any other dog in the house so I cannot get one (or 2 )now. If they are still breeding in a few years after I no longer have her I think I may want to drive to MI for one or two.
I'd probably want sisters.
My mind already plays games with naming them.
First I thought..
Sanity (as my dogs have been my sanity...grounding me) if I got one.
If I got 2 though???
I had a golden when growing up, named Misty.
I saw one of Daisy's (the friend's golden...momma) puppies on FB and she was named Abby Rose which I thought was pretty
The names Blanche and Rose popped into my mind and cracks me up. On one hand I don't know that I'd want silly names but I keep thinking about that. *will wait for the joke part to sink in
Since dogs are precious to me I thought Sapphire and Ruby.. but it sounds... hmm ehhhhh
What would you name them if you could?

I do laugh about the golden girls names still ...I hope those names don't keep coming back so much that I end up going with them out of familiarity

Ok...it's a small dog, but I love them after discovering the breed and having our Lacy for a few years now.

But the thing is, no matter what names I come up with, I always end up with something else because I wait to see the personality of the dog. Before we got this one, I considered Emma, Tabitha, Madison and Daphne, but in the end she just looked and acted like an "Abigail Grace", hence, Abby.
I have a cousin with a Golden and they had her name a year before they brought her home and by golly, it fit perfectly. Chelsea Belle. Now every female Golden puppy I look at, I see "Chelsea Belle".
My Fritz was like that (hehe was named after the X rated cartoon)
