    We adopted a dog today from the local SPCA. It's a Catahoula Leopard. Currently, it's named Henry, but we're thinking of changing the name to Shiner or Marley, after the beer and the Legend, respectively.

    I'm freakin' pumped. Will post pics of the new addition as soon as we get them!

    Congrats dude.

    Dogs are an amazing companion. If you ever have dog-related questions, post here. I did a lot of research re: my dogs, and I know there are a lot of other experts here.

    Good luck! And have fun!

    PS. Make sure you take your dog to the Millie Bush Dog Park.

    Congrats and extra congrats on adopting a pup. Marley is the name of my friend's cat.

    Congratulations! Having a dog will change your life.

    By the way, I'd go with Marley. :)

    Major, major congrats to y'all.

    A good friend here has a catahoula, and it's an awesome dog. She named him Xiao. I get to walk him sometimes, and those are good days indeed.

    Some mutt in my backyard.

    Heading to Outback to drink cheap beer & watch my neighbor play dodgeball in a bit, I'll see what I can do.

    Maybe. We almost named our cat Cuttino, but then what happens if he gets traded, sucks, or signs somewhere else?

    I was thinking about doing a DMB theme with my future pets since naming kids after them is just plain creepy. :D

    Case in point. :)

    If I were to go the DMB route, I'm thinking of Captain or Stone, after the songs of the same name (sans the "the" on "The Stone").

    RM95,

    I suggest a Tip Jar Challenge/Auction.

    Whoever offers up the biggest donation, gets to name your dog.

    I bid $25 for the name "Farfel".

    Maybe one of the mods will see this and change the title.

    The only way I refuse to do this is if it's derogatory to anyone in anyway.
