A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall The Critter Corner New Addition to our family soon

Diane - he is very handsome! I love his coloring, and he looks very sweet in that picture. I hope Emmy will do well with him.

When I hear the name "Scout", I think of the girl in "To Kill a Mockingbird", so it sounds feminine to me. Jock doesn't really do it for me either. Do the other boys have suggestions?

Some people really suck!

You rock, Diane!
He is beautiful....and has a good home now.

Congrats Diane...your family is surely growing fast

he is beautiful, Diane---this is a great thing you are doing for both Emmy and "him".
how about calling him "Scotty" ?---that is what name popped into my mind when I first looked at his picture.

YOu will let us know what name you all do choose, right???

the boys said Milo or Grits Tre reminded me we all agreed the next boy dog we get would be grits but Julian likes Milo,, I kinda like milo too

I like Milo too!

another name came up,,,, Tuxedo

Very VERY disappointed family here,, The Mr of the family with the dog gave it to a co worker with out talking with his wife first,, Evidently she didn't tell him WE were already going to get him this weekend,, But at least the dog will be in a home where he is wanted regardless of his size, so that is good,, I told the boys after the first of the year we will go out and look at rescue puppies and pick our own to come home right then and there with us.

OH My Diane, I am so very sorry to hear this. But things happen ans that too can be a lesson for the boys. I am so glad that you turned it around to a positive though and gave them something to look forward to. You are a good Grandma.

Thanks Carol,, I try to always show them a positive from a negative,, :wink: makes the disappointments in their life a lot easier to handle Another thing is I never promise them anything I'm incapable of following thru with. Shows them giving your word is a part of developing integrity and trustworthiness.

Very good idea....I can remember going to the SPCA when I was a kid to rescue a dog...it is very hard to choose one when you get there, because you want to take them ALL home...but it is a very good learning experience.

Congrats to doggie getting a home. I always had doggies, My son had a purebred collie an it was his buddy till he graduated. THey teach love too.
Doggies teach an receive

Petsmart have rescue adoptions once a month may try them that is where I got Angelo and Mr. Pipps.
