He's Here!


Introducing
The as yet unnamed Greyhound


who came from the track with the name Valita,


and was renamed Marley at the rescue.


He has a beautiful new collar


But he still needs a name.

Sophie... we've been following your worry as you and Joey think about and plan your future. Personally, we think the new greyhound is a beauty and you KNOW we are huge advocates of rescue and adoption. In our minds, you still rule the world. She's just a lucky girl to have you as a big sister. (She, right? We probably should go back and check!)

Wishing you buckets of love,
Fergi and Jake

how about champ...or steven...lol..my human sister wants a dog named steven...she is weird....

Joe Stains said...

Joey is a great name, but I'd hate to have you confused and start making out with him or something. Mom likes Wyatt. Tanner likes the name meatball, but he is a dork so don't even listen to him.

ANYWAY I sure hope you like him and he respects you and all is well.

We couldn't wait to meet your new bunk mate. We know it will be an !! But we think it's a very worthwhile one.

Congratulations to you all!!!

We'll be looking for day-by-day stories!!

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Oh Sophie...I was talkin' to Asta on my cell this afternoonie and a NAME came to me for you totally HOT brother...yeppers...

Pumice Stone...

Isn't it the best name ever?? I was tryin' to think of grey things...eyeliner, eyeshadows, dawn, etc, but when I looked at my pawfectly soft paws...Pumice Stone came to mind...now you being a dancer and all probably thought of it first thing...

Course when I came to your bloggie, I see Pumice isn't really all that gray...he's like more brown...hmm...(Lacie grabs a curl between her paws and absently releases it causing it to go BOING...)

So if you don't like that pawfect name, you could name him Bob...that's what Mumsie wanted to name Stanley but got voted down...or you could give him a doggie name like Spot or Lad...

It's ok, Sophie...now don't get all emotional on me...you don't have to cry about it...

Love and kisses...

Does he have a cell phone yet so we can call him?? Love A+A

dewdana said...

Welcome home big guy and I am sure Sophie will warm up to you! Moose went a full week with no name until the right one appeared! He will find the right name in time! Another french name perhaps? Claude? Laurent? Jacques? Phillipe? Moose says the name Sydney sounds nice with Sophie ;-)
Will Mr long legs Mcgee have his own blog soon or will Sophie share?

Randi said...

Hi Sophie...

I kinda like the name Greyson...its unique & I just made it up on the spot...

or Booboo...I like that name too..

Love & Licks,
Randi

Mango said...

WHERE IS MISS SOPHIE? I am worried about seeing pictures of the flat invader and none of her big blond self.

Slobbers,

Dennis the Vizsla said...

He looks very sweet -- I'm sure he will have a good name soon!

Charlie said...

Let me know what time your bus gets into Portland, and I'll be there to meet you. Is it ok if you sleep in the dogbed at the foot of the peep-bed? I have first dibs on the peep-bed. I think that guy looks like a "Max", but don't bring him with you.

Noah the Airedale said...

Anne said...

He looks like a Fletcher La Tigre. Or Thatcher du Paule. Or perhaps Thayer de Metarrie. We have an -er theme going here..

Love the new boy. He's a beauty. Hope Miss Sophie loves him soon too.

Your new brother is pretty handsome, Sophie! How do you like him? We think his name should begin with an S!

Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch

wally said...

Sophie,

I think you should call him Sophie's Choice. There's so many things I want to know! Does he like toys? Does he like food? Is he sweet? Can he leash walk?

And how are you?
