O/T New Puppy - Needs Naming
in Baby
Hey ladies
We took a visit to our local dog home today and have ended up with a 6 week old black lab puppy!! We pick him up on Wednesday. DS1 is SO excited
Didn't mention to DH until driving home that puppies keep you up at night too (I am sure he would have put his foot down!)
Can anyone recommend a good name for him??? On the shortlist is Benji & Sonny but need some more inspiration.

When I was a baby our dog was Merlyn. Truffle could be good for something different, Toby, or take inspiration from his character.

Benji is cute ...
Eek decisions
put a ticking clock and warm covered hot water bottle in puppies bed, helps them adjust. x
After much deliberation we have decided to call him Dudley!!!
We also had Cooper, Bentley, Robi, Wesley, Benson and Sidney down as favourites too.
Good luck with your new baby!! I can't wait till we pick ours up!! x x x

Bet you can't wait to pick him up?! puppies are fab!
My last dog was called "Jerrylee" (K9 film lol)
My childhood dog was "Sooty" (he was black lab/alsatian)
my sisters dogs are called "Matilda" and "mojo"
One of the dogs i rememeber while on holiday was "conkers" loved it. lol
my mums neighbour has a yorkie called "jock" and if it had been doing anyones head in it ended up gettting called Jock strap. lol
Hope i've helped a little. xx
Thanks for all your suggestions. It's harder to pick th pup's name than my childrens

Have toilet trained pups before - i think it's a bit like potty training! Positive praise & don't say anything when they do something wrong. Think toilet training is quicker than potty training (I hope!)
Ralph & Ted are great names

am so jealous, we have put on hold getting a puppy until baby arrives and is a bit bigger. We want a lab or golden retriever, such a fun family dog.
I have always loved guinness for a black lab, rolo for a brown lab.
Other names i love are pepsi and sam. cant wait to hear what you have picked x
Charliemum, I'm fully prepared for the disturbed nights too!! I was'nt sure whether to get chicken wire or get a puppy pen? Lindam do them, just like a playpen but for dogs. I think I forgot to mention that we will actually be looking after my dads new puppy too so we will have two little pickles come nxt week!! His one is female and I think he liked either Poppy or Pepper but I'm not sure what he's decided yet. I'm hoping with two they might keep each other company at night and settle in a bit better. It's just going to be twice the chaos when they are awake!!! lol!! The biggest thing that scares me is that one or both will escape out of the garden!!

my friend had a black lab puppy, it chewed its way through every bit of wood they had including kitchen cupboards and door frame, helped dh to decide he wanted another baby instead of another dog lol
enjoy them they are fab tho

My oh will only let me have another baby if I let him have a dog!! Sounds fair to me, everyones happy x x x x
My Dad was fuming So I am fully prepared for it hehe
Sugar& Spice - I have spent all evening 'puppy proofing' my garden with chicken wire. Don't need a run now.
2 more sleeps.............................Still no name
