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

None for mixed breeds willing to help.nm
:-(
Two powerful breeds with
strong personalities, and these are mature dogs.
Might go fine, or could go badly.
The safest would be on neutral ground with a dog trainer there IMO.
I enjoy watching Cesar Milan's show, The Dog Whisperer. He has a website, also.
Some puppies just take longer, and some breeds S/M
are sometimes know to be more of a challenge. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Maybe your local animal shelter could give you some help on this issue. Just like kids, they are a responsibility and will sometimes cause you some aggravation, but the love and happiness you get from her will outweigh the training period, I am sure. 
What are your favorite breeds of dog? I will name some of mine SM
Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Greyhound, Ibizan Hound, Scottish Deerhound, Irish Wolfhound, Chihuahua, Schipperke, Dandie Dinmont. . . WOW. I gotta stop, but I could literally go on and on!
How true. It is such a shame for some of these breeds to all
be put in a category of being dangerous, etc. Like I stated in my post above in reply to the Pitbull in the Halloween costume some breeders play on some of the traits of the ones they feel will be more aggressive, larger, more muscle, etc. Then they breed them with another dog they feel has that potential, and so on. A responsible breeder who is concerned only for the well being of the dog and loves the breed will breed only the ones who do not display aggression or the potential for it. I once went to the house of a friend whose dad had a Doberman for years. The dog was there that night, and to be honest I was afraid. I entered the house cautiously to find that the dog was afraid of ME. She had a squeaky toy and lay under the chair all night playing with the toy. She was a thing of beauty. I will never forget her and I learned new respect and to do some reading and research before coming reaching conclusions.
I am a firm beiever that it is all in the breeding and socializing of these breeds. SM
ThePit has certainly had a lot of bad publicity, and the Chow has a bit of the same rupturation, but I have known both of these breeds and they could not be sweeter. However, introducing the two might be a challenge. First and foremost, feeding time is dangerous when another dog is around. My neighbor's Chow/Golden mix attacked my friend's little toy poodle and almost killed her because she walked behind the dog when it was eating. It did not even attempt to take any food or go near the dish. The little Poodle was under the kitchen table and walked behind the Chow mix to go into the living room and that is all it took. If you have these two dogs together I would never attempt to give them treats or food when they are together. Just my view from a good source. Both these breeds are wonderful in their own right, but can be extremely territorial, and food is often what will ignite the situation.
Forgot to say that this is one of my very favorite breeds. So bright and beautiful. NM

Shelties or Australian Sheep Dogs are great family dogs. rm

These dogs appear to be puppy mill producing dogs.
The two females, which I thought were older, appear to be just worn out/depleted. Their teeth are those of a 3-5 year old dog. So, I do believe they have had litters each cycle and are suffering from malnourishment.
Funny thing, yesterday, they were covered with mud (it rained and they were digging) and this morning, I look out and see they have all been grooming as they are clean.
Called Love of Animals who has committed to spaying/neutering the animals, giving them their shots, flea repellant and showing them at Pets Mart on Sundays. In a few months, there will be a regional dog show at the local college where on average 150 dogs are adopted out and she asked that I keep them until then.
Which I will...And a girl saw the ad for the Lost Pets and is looking for a replacement for her Shi Tzu she lost a year ago and will come by tomorrow morning.
I have my dogs on it, and yes all my past dogs but 2 have died -sm
from cancer. But I had 2 schipperkes on Frontline for years and one died at 13 from cancer, the other at 16 just from old age/kidney failure. My last husky was 8 when she died from cancer, but I have had one die at 2 (unknown causes), and another at 9.5 from liver cancer (she actually made a nice recovery but succumbed about 6 months later), but huskies don't tend to live past 10 unfortunately. I have had purebreeds and mutts, and with or w/o Frontline/Advantage they have all died from cancer. I suppose it is possible that it causes it, but if you live long enough, cancer will most likely be your cause of death, anything and everything causes cancer anymore. I hate fleas and ticks and we have lots of them, so the dogs get the Frontline except in the cold winter months. They are 6 and 3 and both doing quite well.
And dogs don't bite right? Love my dogs but I
nm
my dogs are basically indoor dogs sm
but have a doggie door to go in and out as they please. Sometimes our Jack Russell gets excited and barks inside the house. My DH grabs is belt and snaps it and the loud noise shuts her up right away. I am not trying to frighten our dog, but many times just saying knock it off doesn't work.

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.

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

Our pastor gave our group the name The Lighthouse Gang, but I like you suggestions much better!!!
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!
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.
