chocolate lab


I wanna either name him something that has a nautical, ocean flavor... like "Buffett" or "Hatteras", but I don't want a long name... it's much easier to give commands with a short name


or something NCSU-like... something like "Rivers"


tww... help me decide!

i know a couple of dogs named "Hattie" after Hatteras

9/19/2007 5:42:48 PM

you might as well be preemptive and name him "harrison"

9/19/2007 5:44:11 PM

lol


DAVIS!

Teach him how to spin in circles, then name him Ray Robinson.

Finley or Cabela, which is absolutely nothing nautical, but a really cool hunting magazine.

9/19/2007 6:03:13 PM

Bragaw...but seriously, make sure you have a lot of patience and time to devote to your dog. Mine is a puppy and she is nothing but a terror that destroys everything with or without poop!!!

9/19/2007 6:10:31 PM

yeah I know, this won't be my first puppy


it's been a while though

9/19/2007 6:13:03 PM

Chuckles

9/19/2007 6:16:17 PM

lol

I was in Knoxville for the Ga/Tn game a few years ago and this guy was like, "ohh NCSU huh, how do you like Chuckles?"

I lolled then

^ duh, you were there

I named my dog Finley......... and once we get a brother for him we will have Carter & Finley!

9/19/2007 6:18:56 PM

that might work too


since I am going to get a boxer eventually

9/19/2007 6:20:50 PM

Chuckles - my dog was named chuck. chuckles was his nickname.

you could train him to drop the ball and call him T.A.

9/19/2007 6:23:55 PM

And then kick him and yell at him.

"You are so fucking stupid TA!!!"

9/19/2007 6:25:31 PM

lol put him in the tub

9/19/2007 6:25:54 PM

handcuff him too

9/19/2007 6:26:25 PM

its true

9/19/2007 6:26:48 PM

if he has white on his nose you can call him David

9/19/2007 6:27:52 PM

haha

anybody have any ideas for a nautical type name


I do like "finley" though

9/19/2007 6:35:00 PM

what ever happened to "thatcher, margaret"

9/19/2007 6:36:59 PM

any of these might work:
sailor
captain
sqaull

Scuttlebutt – A barrel with a hole in used to hold water that sailors would drink from.

9/19/2007 7:10:07 PM

you could name it Ketch, like a 2 masted ship, though Finley is way cooler.

9/19/2007 7:10:30 PM

im gonna buy a puppy.

9/19/2007 7:10:39 PM

The lady across the hall told me today that she might kill herself tonight and asked if I'd take her dogs if she did. So I went to the bar, and am on the blackberry wasting time

9/19/2007 7:45:42 PM

damn, thats wild

9/19/2007 8:05:59 PM

^^

was she hot?

9/19/2007 8:08:44 PM

I saw her crying this afternoon when I came home from work. We sat on the stoop and smoked and she told me about all her problems for a few hours. She then left and made a spare key and put it under my door such that if needed I could get her pups.

Sad story.

I'm such an ass that I left due to the fact that if she does it while I'm there itd big me out for life.

9/19/2007 8:11:51 PM

Nice of you to listen. Sound like a good neighbor.

Schooner, Fisher, Ocean, Tidal...?

[Edited on September 19, 2007 at 8:29 PM. Reason : sss]

9/19/2007 8:28:57 PM

^^ thats all you can do

you can't really stop someone intent on it

I like "fisher" and "ocean" is cool

9/19/2007 8:38:16 PM

'Fathom" is the nautical measurement of depth.

When Grits gets a buddy we will name it Shrimp.

actually Fathom is a good one too

9/20/2007 3:03:02 PM

my friend named his dog Reynolds. I thought that was cute.

9/20/2007 3:05:37 PM

My first dog was a Black lab, her name was Hatteras, but we called her Hattie for short. I miss her, she passed while I was in 6th grade.

9/20/2007 3:07:02 PM

I've really been wanting to get a boxer. I had one from like 3rd grade until last year and it was the best dog ever.. gr

9/20/2007 3:22:27 PM

is it true that chocolate Labs cannot stand heat as well as black labs or yellow labs?

a friend of mine in Georgia wanted a chocolate, but he said the further south you go, the more skin problems the chocolates have with heat and such


I have no idea


but I would think that with me moving to Belize(supposed to be Panama, but that was sold and Belize is the spot now), it would be much too hot if there is an issue

11/1/2007 1:40:06 PM

they're the weakest of the breed for sure
they also have a higher chance of allergies and other problems.

seriously... i don't mean to be a hippy douche but if you spend time at the spca (stop in once a week or so) you can find a dog purebred or mutt that you'll like a lot i promise i found 6 and since i didn't really know i wanted a dog then (volunteering to get my dog fix rather then own one) 5 of them were picked up before i decided i wanted them.

11/1/2007 1:43:51 PM

"Paul Cousins"

11/1/2007 1:45:17 PM

I'd do that in a heartbeat, cause I love dogs and all


but I need a hunting dog also, like... the clients I hunt with are "those people"

11/1/2007 1:45:42 PM

puppy is not for sale

11/1/2007 1:46:21 PM

everything has a price

11/1/2007 1:48:52 PM

I have a friend with an adopted german short haired pointer that is hunting trained.
(keep in mind training will cost $texas too)
His dog actually has papers too and if offspring of the one that one the ukc thing a few years back.
but yeah i think his parents spent more training his dog then he spends on his mortgage

11/1/2007 2:04:20 PM

dude, german shorthairs are awesome bird dogs


I love watching them work

11/1/2007 2:05:33 PM

I think Gunwale would be a cool name, but don't steal it or I'll stab you in the face.
