Names for Golden Retrievers... or any dogs for that matter

70,256 5,366 December 30, 2015 at 10:27 AM in 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?

Hmm since the mother's name is Daisie

I might stick with flower names if I got them..or one...

Like Jasmine... Jazzy for short
and Heather or... Ivy..Lily



But my neck, back and now hip pain is getting so bad I am wondering it I'm getting too decrepit to take on new dogs.. Sadwalk
But then they can take care of you. hug Ya need a dog that can pull you out of burning buildings, that can call 911 on your cell, keep you warm when your joints ache... heart

Or you could go with a beer theme, and call them Blanche and Amber.

You see it's clever because Au is the atomic symbol for gold and Augie Doggy is the name of a cartoon dog, so...

While I appreciate the effort, I really want a "person" swooning. It's very specific for BQ.
