I always like *people* names for my pets. I had wanted to name my dog Sophie before I even decided what kind of dog to get. No idea why, it just sounded nice. I had her 13 years, and she was a great buddy. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, having her put to sleep.


I feel for you and your family losing Tony. It took me several months before I could adopt another dog. But I knew the right dog would come along - and a couple did lol. I adopted Rudy then Millie - I didn't name her. Who picks a name like that? She IS a Millie tho.
