    • Gold Top Dog

    She is looking really good Callie.  She looks like a pug now!

     

    She is cute, sweet and beautiful!

    She is looking so much better... I've been following this and now I'm getting so excited... like it's ME getting a puppy Smile  I can't wait to find out what her name will be Big Smile

     Lulu and Luna ARE awfully close..... You need something cute for that girl. She's going to be such a blast. Pugs are great.... I can't wait to see how she looks at your house, on good food and lots of baths and t shirtsWink

    What an absolute doll baby!! I agree with you on the contact allergy Callie. Florida grass is the worst!!! I know it's why my girls itch........ If anyone can get this girl better, it's you ~ she looks so much better. Can't wait to see more pics and hear her new name!! :)

    Yea I can deffinately see Lulu and Luna getting mixed up.  Hmm new names....fun :o)   She seems like she's got a lot of heart and spunk so she'll need a name that reflects that.... Not that you need me to tell you that, I'm sure you already know Wink

    Disney comes to mind....."Polly" as in Polly Anna always looking on the bright side.

    mrv you're giving me cold prickles -- I HAD a Pollyanna.  (Just about the time I originally joined I-Dog -- the little female -5 months old- who had her back broken by her abuser.) She only lived 3 months -- her injuries were just too great (she had a blood clot that apparently the vets couldn't find and she had a stroke and died).  It was such a perfect name for her -- even tho she was a dog she played "The Glad Game" better than any human!!

    You're absolutely on the right track -- that's the type of name I LOVE to pick for a dog!!  Thank you!

    I got an email from the foster mom.  She got her rabies shot at the vet today (that was probably inevitable) ... but then she also had the vet check her because an eye looked not good.  And she's got an ulcerated cornea. 

    Oh boy .. bless her little heart.  I can see with that hard plastic cone that even those buttons could nick and eye if she was pressing against a hard surface to 'scratch' or try to get to herself.  A dog determined to itch can do amazing things. 

    She also got her "vets certificate" ... and now does have to return to the vet next Thursday for a 'check up' on the eye. 

    But they did let me have a full copy of her records.  They wanted to JUST send it to my vet and I insisted *I* wanted it.  I can't allow the possibility that we could be "on the way home" and she gets sick and has to go to an e-vet -- *I GOTTA HAVE RECORDS* in my *own* hand.

    Me?  pushy?  You bet, but I've learned all of it the hard way I think!

    • Gold Top Dog

     You? Pushy?

     

    You and Emma need to hang out. You'd get along so wellWink Actually, I don't know why you don't have a terrier. I guess the hound and the Peke and now the Pug are enough pushy, LOL

    • Gold Top Dog

    Wow, she actually looks like a Pug!  Wooooohooooooooooo!  We are going to parrttay when this girl is all healed up!Yes 

    • Gold Top Dog

     Callie. I'm so excited for you guys!!

    Actually, I don't know why you don't have a terrier

    cos I'm pushy in a nice way ... and I hate arguments. I won't argue, but I may talk you to death to get my point across.  Luna "argues" with me and I hate it.  Bad choice!  My mother IS a terrier ... *sigh* .... enough said.  I've spent my entire life learning NOT to be my mother!

    Good for you.  I fall into the "pushy" category, too although I like to consider it being persuasive!  If you are coming through Houston, let me know if you need anything at all!  Seriously.  Anything.

    I'm going to try my hand with the name thing (although I do believe they name themselves)

    Eliza - from My Fair Lady - although starts off rough, but she's got heart and cleans up in the end

    Subira - Swahili origin - menas "patience has its reward" - all she has to do is be patient until you get there!  I guess you could do Subi as a nickname

    Lien - not sure if that is too close to Luna - Chinese (a little shout out to her pug heritage) it means lotus - as you probably know, a lotus flower has to grow through murky pond water to have a beautiful blossom.  reminds me of her journey to you and better health!

    and yes, i looked through a baby name website to get these!

    Ahhh I was going to try a name suggestion or two, but these have put me off - no way could I top these! I love Subi especially.  Smile

    I've got a list started -- my husband steadfastly REFUSES to really discuss them until we 'meet' her.  For him it's all about personality ... I'm just wanting to be 'prepared' (Bilbo was on my 'list' for Billy and t'was I who named Pollyanna). 

    Shoot you should have seen me on the Disney website last night in the "Make your own fairy" part (that has a huge 'name generator';) ... *sigh* -- I'm just 'over the top' I know .... but heckfire -- I MEAN WELL!!! *(laughing hysterically)*

    Lien has too much the "L" sound (unfortunately so does Eliza which I also really liked) -- but I've added all to my list.  LISTS ARE GOOD!!!
