Re: Dog name choice
There's a lot people getting pretty precious when naming their dogs these days. What happened to the good old names, like Rover, Spot or Fido?

We are looking for a dog at the moment and we saw one listed on the SPCA site called Lunch Bag.

I poured a garage floor years ago and the yuppies across the alley had a pair of little dogs named Lenin and Trotsky, idiots.

Cooper has arrived. He is a little more shy than our last one on his first day but today his confidence is improving.
