All fluffy with a black/grey puppy coat. She sort of bounces rather than runs smile.gif

Lyle hasn't come up with anything...he just rejects my suggestions mad.gif
Also acquired a guinea pig in the week that had been abandoned. The builder who was repairing the roof told me that "an animal" had been abandoned at his son's house so i said he could bring it up. He thought it might be a hamster, I thought it might be a rat, but it turned out to be a guineapig. Haven't decided whether to call it Gerald or Cinnamon!!

Millie is blatantly the best name for her but only with and ie not a y!! tongue.gif Millie is my friend's name and after another friend called her kitten Millie it has officially been announced at our school that Millie is the best name for pets. But not rodents. Apparently rolleyes.gif And all my unnamed fish are all also now subsequently called Millie blink.gif

... which would have been a bit like capturing the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and calling it Tiddles. The thing is a menace, I tell you.

You're becoming a zoo, hehe - a pony, Polly, new puppy, and all your guinea pigs!

I think you should call it Gerald biggrin.gif Makes me laugh. I guess it is brown?

!!!!!!!!!!!
no she is not!!
she's just lovely!
You know you like her really...
Although I don't love her quite as much at two in the morning when she wants to 'play'.
But, she is most certainly not a menace.
So there.

In your memory, pfft. It would put a bad influence on the dog. Oh, and it's a girl.

Pebbles is a nice name (someone suggested it)

I had a Golden Retriever called Pebbles. She was beautiful. I bred her myself and was training her for gundog work. She was very intelligent. Unfortuneately I split from my partner and she had to go. I still miss her and that was 18 months ago. I've still got her Mum, Rosie.

Thanks for all the suggestions...some really good ideas but we all agreed that "Suki" was a really apt name. If (a very big "if") I ever work out how to upload a piccy of her I will do. smile.gif

She was menacing me less than four hours after you wrote this!

Anyway, back on topic. A woman who used to work for Alfa Romeo had two pedigree rabbits (yes, I know, rabbits are not puppies - this is just for inspiration) which she called Tazio and TwinSpark.

Well, it makes sense if you know about Alfa Romeos.

Andrea - if you email me a picture, I'll host it on my photobucket account and you'll be able to put it up here, but I'll be away until Wednesday
