Introducing our new little baby boy! He's only 4 weeks old at the moment. Weighing in at 7 pounds, 2 ounces. Am I crazy.. yeah probably. LOL But we wanted a 3rd big paw and a male was our best bet. The breed was a given. ;)
I need some name suggestions. Here's the short list we have at the moment. I'm trying to decide which one he looks most like?
Niko
Gunner
Angus
Judge
Angus and Judge remind me alot of 2 other saints on the board. Connies Judge and Nickers Angus and AC's Newf Angus. So It kind of seems awkward to use those ones. Everytime I say those names I picture someone elses dog. LOL
Any other name ideas you all can think of let me know. It doesn't have to go with Bubba or Lola. I was actually hoping for something completely different.
-
OMG look at that ball of fluff ;D Congratulation s!!!
I too love Niko! :)
-
He's Beautiful/Adorable/Total Sweetness! :-* You must be SO excited!
I really like Niko too.
One I've always held high on my list (but have never known one) is Deacon.
Have you started your calendar countdown? I'll bet you have.
-
Too adorable! I really like the name Niko, too.
-
Magnus is my favorite! I like Deacon and Judge, too. Oddly enough, when I saw the pup's pic, the name Arthur popped into my head. I have no clue where that came from!
-
Awww hes adorable...I like all your names too especially Niko...but I thnik he also looks like a Brewster! I have always loved that name..hahah Good luck!
-
AWWWWWWWWWWWW! CUTE!
For some reason, when I hear Niko, I think of a slender sleek dog. Like a Weim or something. I love the name it just doesn't seem very "Saintish" to me.
I don't have any suggestions, though. Its hard for me to come up with names!!! I like silly made-up names.
-
Oh and another fav of mine for a big paw is Gunther...Kind of close to one of yours!
-
He is so adorable!!!!! I just wanna tickle that little fat belly!!!!! :P
Magnus is a great name.
-
I added Magnus to the short list. I'll show hubby when he gets home. LOL Liz.
Nicole.. I think the same thing with Niko. Hubby really likes it though. I like Gunner and Judge. Angus was a given because of the cow reference. LOL Hubby calls Bubba his big moo cow. :D
Other names we 'had' on the list were Ace, Apollo and Rocky (hubby and his Rocky movies, LOL), Deuce and Kane and I think Thor was on there too. But I wanted something a little different.
Lori, I already mentioned Gunther. I had an Oscar (fish) named Gunther so hubby gave me the ummm no look. LOL
Keep the suggestions coming.. I'm copying them all down. ;)
-
hahaha, Mango. CUTE!
So, what is the story?! Where is he coming from? I guess I've missed a lot! I feel bad I haven't been checking in enough. Is Lola going to be cool with another dog? (If I recall, she was not very um...happy with other dogs, right?)
-
Awww, Lyn, he's adorable! Congratulation s! I know you'll figure out the perfect name for him! So cute!

Yup I'm positive Lola will be fine this time. Her problem turned out to be female/female aggression with other large dogs. Expecially dominant females. We have been working alot with her though.. just can't get past her issues with other girls.
Honestly.. He is from an opps litter. She is a good hearted person that admits her screw up and is taking all the right steps to place the pups in big paw experienced homes. We were debating on it since they were born.. But I didn't want to mention him until I knew for sure he was mine. So you didn't miss anything. ;)
-
LMAO Mango.. Hubby isn't too keen on Magnus. So that might be a no go. :-\
-
Titan and Jazmine vote for Mango too... that is the cutest name i have heard!!!!
-
LMAO Mango.. Hubby isn't too keen on Magnus. So that might be a no go. :-\
The Chicago Bears used to have a player, Steve McMichael and his nickname was "Mongo". He was a brute!!!!
Just a thought.
-
When I see a "Saint" I think of
Bubba
Brutos
Bruto
Bentley
Bear
Not sure why they all start with Bs :D
-
lol, you'd be amazed at the number of Saints whose names begin with B!
Sorry, I don't have any great name suggestions! I usually end up picking names out of movies or books! :D

Ohhh, I guess I did miss that Lola has female/female issues. See, I do miss stuff!!! And, when babies are eating more brain cells than you had to begin with, you forget what you already knew. Sorry!!! hahaha!
Well, he's super adorable, either way. I'm sure Lola will just love him to bits when she meets him!

It's been just over a year now of working with her. I know I posted some of her progress but it was pretty slow for awhile there. At first she was lashing out at any dog that came near her including Bubba. I ready to check myself into a mental institution. LOL Once the stress level went down she started targeting individual dogs. Stella was actually the one that brought up the female/female aggression way back when. I was curious so we tested her further and voila! It's been a couple months now and no progress. She doesn't want any girly friends. :'(
-
Hahahah Mongo! You watch hubby will like that one. ;D My son wants to call him Ace. :( But I realllly don't like Ace. So I need to cohearse him into something else. LOL
-
Congrats Lyn. He's beautiful (love those pink toes!). I'm rotten at naming but like dogs named Capone, Gabriel (Gabe), and Nero. Also Chester, Miles and Milo. Good luck - and keep the pics coming!
-
Another fav...Guinness!!! I think thats how you spell it...Hes gonna be a strong irish fellow!! I think thats a great name...and who doesnt like Guinness? hahaha
-
It's official! His name is.... Mongo! hahahahah
Has anyone watched the movie Blazing Saddles? There is a big dumb brute named Mongo in it.
As soon as I mentioned the name to my hubby he busted out laughing and said it's perfect. LOL
-
That is too funny!!! I didn't think he'd go for Mongo! When do you get him?
-
I know! I was shocked. LOL Not until the middle of March, he's almost 5 weeks old now.
-
Awwww, congrats! Is little Mongo close enough to you now that you can go visit him and smell his puppy breath? He is just adorable & I can't wait to see more of him. ;D
-
Mongo is now 6 weeks old and weighs a whopping 11 pounds 2 ounces. :o Looks like his name is definitely going to suit him. LOL
New pics will be coming soon. ;)
