Haha! Mine spells their names wrong - and they have very common names! (nm)

Rabbits are not easy to take care of. We have 2. We have the ideal sm
setup for them outside in the barn in rabbit cages that are very long (they connect and measure 7 feet across), so they have plenty of jumping room. The cages sit above concrete so cleaning up their mess is easy with a broom and catcher. I would NOT recommend they be kept indoors. After much research, I found that rabbits need tons of attention AND they need to be left out of their cage. They chew anything and everything so you cannot have them around any cords whatsoever. They poop A LOT too. I have to sweep every single day out there and they leave over 100 pellets a day. It's a mess and can't imagine the mess and smell indoors.

This is just my opinion. Also, people are highly allergic to rabbit hair. You have to consider that factor. I reallly hated to burst your buble, but these rabbits we keep outdoors are more maintenance than I have some days. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
I've witnessed indoor rabbits
and they are quite destructive with their chewing. I was in a business where a rabbit was allowed to roam. It was destroying the wood trim all around the room, and also chewing the couch fabric. We had an outside rabbit when I was a kid. She died of a foot infection. I read those are fairly common in rabbits.

If you keep the rabbit outside, be aware that many dog breeds can't help themselves around rabbits ... my two, for example.

And hamsters are huge escape artists. Since they are nocturnal, they escape at night. It's a real pain, especially if you have a cat.
I am allergic to cats, rabbits and dogs BUT sm
I live happily and allergy free with my miniature poodle! She sleeps IN MY BED and I don't sneeze or wheeze, my eyes don't swell, my throat doesn't close, NOTHING. She woke me up her favorite way yesterday morning...rubbing her short top knot all over my face and chin while she is snorts so I wake up giggling. Not a sneeze.

In all fairness, she is bathed at least once every 2 weeks, sometimes weekly. I groom her myself (as in shaving her) and I don't have problems.

Poodles are under rated for intelligence especially what are viewed as nervous, little yappy miniatures. Poodles are only like that if they have morons for owners. I respect my poodle's intelligence by believing her in abilities and teaching her patiently. She is so well behaved it is not believable! When my kids were here for my daughter's wedding, my younger son was very surprised when I gave my dog a direction in 2 words only (Her name and NO!) pointing where I wanted her to go. There was no sneaking behind my back, no trying again, no being told twice, she was perfect. Her owner is not a moron and she is not nervous.

Don't disrespect and underrate a poodle!

Sorry, I got off track, but I SO LOVE MY POODLE!!!!! This woman's best friend is her dog.
We started out with 2 rabbits indoors, and then moved them outdoors because..sm
we found out that they were male and female instead of two females!! This past spring we ended up with babies and kept all of them. We got rid of the male rabbit shortly after the female became pregnant because he was so aggressive. We now have seven rabbits and love them!! My husband built a huge rabbit area on our land (we live in the country) and my kids love taking care of them and playing with them. The short time they were in the house they were really no problem. My sister in law has several in her house also with no problem. She tried doing the potty training and litter thing, but it just didnt work out that well.
Deer and rabbits especially think my garden is an outdoor diner. (sm)
Have tried multiple things, can keep rabbits out of green beans, peas and lettuce until they get larger and not so palatable by using chicken wire bent over the rows and pegged down. The deer seem to prefer to just rip smaller branches off the fruit trees and really seem to hit the melons hard.

One of the things that I have tried and works pretty well for me is Irish Spring tied in the branches of fruit trees. I suppose it is the smell they don't like.

Anything else you come up with, please share.

The produce in the store isn't going to do anything but get higher with strikes, etc.
Dogs are CoCo, Max, and Monroe. Cat is named KeKe. Rabbits are...sm
Snowy, Snowball, Butterbean, Cotton, Arrow (he has a perfect black arrow on his back!), Cow, Sandy patches, and Lil Fry because she was our runt last year!
Gottah share. Last fall we got 2 rabbits. Was told both were females. Guess what? sm

That's not true! We had a swim party over here and the kids went to check on the rabbits and there were 10 in there! OMG.  I didn't believe them at first, but then they started describing the scene and I knew they weren't kidding. The rabbits stay up at our barn where we housed our goats.


 


Anyways, I guess the people we bought them from can't tell the difference between male and female!  I pray these babies survive. They are so tiny! The mom is huge. It's an addition to our family......We are excited...Will keep you updated..


groundhogs,squirrels, wild turkeys, rabbits, raccoon, goat and deer meat..sm

Some folks just take for granted that they can walk into a market and shop for meat...We've done the same for similar reasons as you and nothing was wasted.   At least you're self sufficient!!!  And, I bet you've put up/canned/frozen all the vegetables from the summer/fall harvest.   


Didn't mean to be flippant in my earlier post...whack it, hack it, pack it and stack it...  Cat

Is your pets name on the list?


1. Max
2. Maggie
3. Buddy
4. Bailey
5. Jake
6. Sam
7. Molly
8. Nicky

Looking for ~K~ names...

Hi everyone!  I am looking for a name that begins with K...Do you any of you have the perfect ~K~ name for the perfect baby girl coming to our family?  Thank you all for your suggestions!!!


 


K names
Kara, Karaleigh, Karissa, Kaela (derivative of Kayla), Korrie...all my granddaughters
Pet's names
Siberian Husky is Spunky; Blue heeler is Blue; Cats-Kitty, Sweetie, Ginger, Turtle, Killer, Twinkie; goats-LuLu, Bonnie, Clyde, Blackie. Rest of the goats have no names and neither do the 30-somwthing chickens! BTW, kids named several of these!
You do not have to name names, you
gave the state and all a person had to do was Google about student murdered in the state and the name is there.
well, I don't like it. Names are
hurtful and unnecessary. Does he not realize he is the measure for this child as he grows up? and that everything he will learn about being a good father himself he will have learned from his own. While he needs to mind, he does not need to be made inferior doing it.
Why would you consider the names
more different??? Everything has a name.
Names for a dog...sm

Dog names

Well, we named Bumper said name because as a puppy, he was clumsy and bumped into everything.


We loved him so dearly that 20 months later, Maggie came along (her AKC papers read Bumper's Princess Magdeline).  We actually named her after Maggie from The Simpsons, who is such a sweet and innocent child.  Now, Hubby wanted to put "Bumper's Lady Margaret" on her AKC papers but I told him I have an aunt named Margaret that I don't like, so it became Bumper's Princess (that, she is) Magdeline.  Plus, I liked the biblical reference.  


Toby, our rescue, was already named.  I guess his original name was Oliver (how cute!!!!) but his first owners changed it to Toby.  Then, when he was around 3, the mother got pregnant and decided she didn't have enough time for him.  Don't get me started on folks like that.  Dogs are a lifetime commitment (unless there are aggression issues, etc.).


Now, we have so many nicknames for each dog, it's not funny.  If you want to hear them, I'll post them when I have time.  Somehow, Bumper ended up being called Beef but I don't remember why. 


Also, we've tried to breed Bumper and Maggie (our rescue is a neut) with no success.  If they ever do have puppies, I'm going to do a theme.  Right now, I'm thinking of names from the Broadway play Cats.  There are so many cute names in that play!

Names...sm
I know someone else who named their dog DOG and pronounced it the same way. I thought that was the coolest thing.

Right now, I have cats Lucky, Tripp (Named for Matthew McConaughey's character in Failure to Launch), Stella, and the newest edition is Smokey, but I call him Max. I like people names for animals, too, so you can see who I didn't name. Over the years, I've had Mickey, Max, Sam, Pete, Chloe, and Sneezer (all cats) and my dog was Casey, who passed last summer at just shy of 13.
TinyLyn's names

No names, none at all listed.
My brother and I were kids ourselves then but even his wife (stepmom to me) not listed.
Human names
I name all mine human names as they are a part of the family.  Plus, when you meet someone by that name it is hilarious!  I especially love old fashioned names for them.  Right now I have a Hazel, Eliza, Eleanor and Stella that I named.  Named one Nick as I found him at Christmas time for St. Nick.  
OUr pets names..

At the moment we only have dogs, you wouldn't be interested in the coon dogs, dh named them Bob & John..lol..


we have an australian named Rex


dh also named this other dog Zip (because he runs fast)


 


We have had in the past, horses, other dogs, cats & a rabbit in the house


Rowdy, Dusty (was a dog & a pony), Sadie, Smokey, Bandit, Laddie, Freckles, Gus, Sheba, Spek, Skippy(rabbit), Bo, too many others to think...Fluffy, Josie (cats)


some others I like Amos for a dog, a friend had a blue heeler named amos


but I agree with the other post about seeing the animal FIRST.. then go from there, I have to look at a dog or any other animal before naming them..


Since so many of you posted about your pet names....sm
I figured I would post some of the ones that I remember from current/childhood pets.

DOGS: Cody, Ginger, Roxanne, Molly, Toby, Murphy, Patch, Zoe, Cassie, Tater, Reno, Gretchen, Sally, Baby, Heidi, Bear Dog.

HORSES: Missy, Rose, Bubba, Charlie, JJ, Shadow, Vet (like Corvette), Cherokee, Dusty, Stormy.

CAT: Spanky.

FISH: On Oscar named Skit (short for schizophrenia, he has multiple personalities, I swear it!).


We exchange names, so we don't have to give many, but
this year DH and I drew my parents. Since it is a couple's draw, it gives you the freedom to spend $100 on the couple or $50 for each. Well we got nice sheets in the color they wanted, from the store they wanted, got mom a pretty silky nightgown and robe she could pack easily, and got Dad the digital tire gauge with the big readout he wanted. So they each had one to open and then a couple gift. They seemed pleased, especially about the sheets.
Yikes!! She named names!!
   
Regarding brand names of furniture

Am thinking about getting some new furniture. I noticed American Signature had a really good sale on but have never bought any from there. I kinda got stung buying some, what I thought really inexpensive and nice-looking furniture from Ashley's when I moved into my new home in 2004. Well, excited about the newness, I did not check out each piece as it came in 1 x 1. That was my mistake- could not be returned, shoulda checked the small print. A living room chair has arms, 1 is lower than the other- my Bombay chest in the foyer has 1 leg on the bottom that is slightly turned out more than the other- my bedroom furniture has the paint on top flaking off. Needless to say, I do not care about using Ashley again. Now I know I can buy the really, really costly like Broyhill, Thomasville and the like but I have just spent out almost $10,000 getting my main room tiled and my bathroom fixed in slate so now am trying to see what else I can find. Has anyone used American Signature, if so do you like and I am open to any and all suggestions about others. Thanks.


This site has names that mean "white"
http://www.babynamesworld.com/meaning-search.html

Search for the meaning "white" and it gives you a whole bunch of names.
Those are the coolest cat names I ever heard!

What breeds of little dogs? The names
are so cute for little ones!
One year I mixed up all the 4 kid's names
example.. put Debbie's name on Scott's gifts, Scott's name on Mark's gifts, etc. Just let them keep shaking and guessing on the presents.. that were not even their own... It was a real payback for Mom and Dad to see the looks on their faces on Christmas when they recieved their real gifts, with the wrong names on them and they realized they put all that work into guessing and trying to figure out what was in boxes that were not even theirs! LOL
I know of some- Hogg sister but get the first names!
Always thought my stepmom made up but finally read in the papers Ima Hogg and Ura Hogg- they lived in Texas. My mother married a man named Connie and I did intake 1 time at a children's emergency room and there was a female there Snow White.
VERY hard when the names are foreign! DUH.

Do you remember the names of any of the books you read?
Not OP but feeling the same way for a long, long time. Would like it to be better.
Katharine. I like very traditional, timeless names.
Katharine is one of my fave names, and I like it spelled with two "a's", as in Katharine Hepburn. I think Katie is a very cute nickname for a little girl, that can grow into Kate when she's a woman. Maybe because of the connection to Katharine Hepburn, I just imagine Katharine as being a very sophisticated name -- lots of class. I'm just not one for very cutesy, made up names.
Sorry, second guess this week wrong names -nm
