Help me name my new puppy
I've decided to adopt one of my foster puppies. I've broken the rule and fallen in love with him. Now we have three dogs.. Oh well, I'm turning into a crazy animal lady.

Can you help me name him. He is a German short-haired pointer mixed with a Bloodhound.

10. How about "Kitty"?
Then you can go "Here Kitty Kitty" and have a dog run up (I've always wanted to do that).

And sorry...late in the afternoon and I'm damned punchy :)

15. Too funny we just named our last adopted dog - Kit
She's a 3 year old Aussie and my husband named her Kit. I don't like the name Kit so I call her kit cat or kitty. It's amusing to me if nothing else.

74. For those who are interested we have a winner!!
My family voted and I lost big time. I wanted Bogart or Bogie. The winning name is Lars (as in Metallica). Lars Hanson was also the name of a character from Little House on the Prairie. Somehow that seemed to them to go with our other pets western names, Jake and Kit. I'm not buying it but he's so cute that he can carry any name.
So Lars it is, sorry puppy.

It's hard to name a dog when you don't know it's personality.
