A bit late I know...
but when I saw him, the first name I thought of was ... ... Chet

Never been one for typical animal names...
let's see...
had turtles.....
Ralph, Juan Valdez (picked a lot of coffee from what I heard), the others didn't last long enough to remember...
My hamster was Phred, spent some time living in the wall
more recently the Bettas...
Sushi and Sashimi, preceded by... Stevie (boy could he sing...)
actually my family's had a ridiculous amount of pets, you don't want to hear All the names

Maybe Zorro would be good for the little guy.

Chance?

Teddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did you name the puppy???

I still wanna know his name!!!!!!

In case anyone else wants to know......Buddy stuck. Thanks for chat Teddy.

Yep, buddy is it. Daughters are not pleased. They were pushing for a name more befitting a black lab, more regal, with class. The little guys got papers and a (as the girls said) "just any 'ole plain dog name".

LOL! Well hubby wanted buddy so he's happy.

Thank you all for the great name ideas. So many good ones.

Meanwhile buddy is growing fast. At his first vet visit he weighted 9 lbs 8 oz. Four weeks later at his 2nd vet visit he was 18 lbs 2 oz. His next appt. is Tues. July 10..... any guesses on weight?

:)

Wouldn't venture, but knowing how stocky labs get, be prepared for him to tip the scales all the way...our cute little lab/blue heeler mix topped out over #60 when we last weighed her (to make sure we got the right dose heartworm pills & flea treatment...JeezLoueez those heartworm pills look to me like they could choke a horse, but she swallows 'em in single gulp, no chewing required)

Those pills are not cheap either!!

We had a good check-up at the vets on Tues.

Little buddy is 31 lbs !!!

He is a charmer and everybody there loves him!
