We thought Nova might not be too good.... because of "NO! NOVA!

Yep...boy dog this time around. We keep hearing their temperment is mellower, although our dear girl was a sweetheart. Just a little skitzy around company. They also say males bond better with females, and vice versa. Might be true, because our girl sure adored my husband.

Yes, it is an American coat.... light beige. They are darker as pups. "Mer"ry is a nickname for Merlin????

Of course there will be pictures! We saw the pups two weeks ago. They were only two weeks, eyes closed, and dark brown blobs. Not much to look at yet. They are an hour from home, but we are going to try to go back again before we bring him home.

the assorted nics.

I don't want to be a pet party pooper
.


But... I think it is important to live with the new pet for a while to see
what personality is present. Sometimes that really steers you to the
"right" name.

We have struggled as long as a week to get it comfortable.

And don't discount Harry... as it seems that is a common denominator here!
.

Harry short for Harrison, of course
.

well...somebody should have told my mom that when she had my brother. lol. named him. signed the birth certificate. got home...really really looked at him..and said...nope...he doesn't look like a _______. called him by his middle name his whole life.
.

Thanks everyone.

Let's see. I really like Harry
.
.

Anne, Spelt or Triticale would certainly be unique...lol.

We have been leaving it open....just have a definite favorite..well, a few favorites, but we will likely concede to whatever my daughter decides is her favorite. She has changed her mind once.

We like lots of nicknames. Ginger had tons...not all so glamorous (like poopers)...so we are definitely thinking of nicknames that might go with the names. Had not even thought about BJ
.
...and have to admit I had to really think about what was wrong with that....lol.

It is a little weird that we are getting a WHEATen terrier. I guess if you can't eat it, own one??? It was actually in the running the first time around, but the Golden won out.

Thanks for all the input... I'm having fun here.

Cara

I guess I am a bit dense. What is wrong with BJ?
.
If it is bad, you can PM me with the answer.

Anne

I have been PM'ed - got it!

haha... I was relaying this story over dinner tonight...we went out for my MIL 70th BD. Everyone except one sister in law got it. Like I said, it took me a while, but I'll pm you
.
.

Cara

The first time I heard it, I didn't get it either. Someone had to explain it to me too.
.
lol

However... I've never forgotten it!
.

.

I like Murry - cute name for a cute pup.

Of course since it is a WHEATen terrier you could name it Spelt or Triticale.
.


I don't like Barney unless he is purple.
Anne

--of Cara getting a WHEATen Terrier.

And I suppose the dog will like Milk (caesin?) Bones.

Benjamin James has the lead in our home, too, but we will still feel it out for a few weeks after the pup comes home.

Here is a picture of Purple (rick rack) and Blue (rick rack). One or the other will be our pup!
