Help Naming New Pupply

Well our canine population just went up by one. My wife works at a vet and we seem to adopt animals that people decided they do not want. Currently we have two cats and two Boston Terriers, wait make that three (we even had a one eyed rabbit named cylops). This latest is a new born that entered this world yesterday morning. The mom had 10 puppies and ended up having a "C" section for the last 4 which is why she ended up at the vet. One of the pup's died and one was born with a cleft pallet. The owners ended up bringing the pup with the cleft pallet back into the vet and said they could not take care of it. Well needless to say my wife swooped in for the rescue and we now have a less than two day old pup. One of the vets that specialize in this type of thing took a look and the cleft is not to bad but will probably require some surgery to get things right. Anyway, we need to come up with a name and I thought that my fellow John Dee family could offer some suggestions. I have included a few photo's to help you. She is a real cutie

Oh how sweet! What a tiny tiny baby - Cute as a button! A little girl... all I can think of is Peanut. She's so tiny, like a little Peanut.

Good luck and I wish all the best for you and her and your family!

Neat, a guinnie pig pupply with a cleft pallet! :eek:
Um, no, maybe a Guinea Pig puppy with a cleft palate? :confused:
Then maybe not.
Name her "Pupply"! :)

Curt W. & Mrs W, you folks are some wonderful foster parents! I hope she does well.

Since you're soliciting the help of the John Dee folks, I'd suggest:

Dee-O-Gee

Pronounced like you're spelling "dog" with emphasis on the "Dee".

Shes a beauty.....and lucky to have you and your wife to take care of her.....I've raised many newborn babies and its not easy.....they really tug at your heart. Many nights of interupped sleep ahead...but so worth it! "Lilly" poped into my head right away maybe easter had something to do with it....Good luck and congratulations.

Great Ideas

Thanks for the ideas. I will run them by my family and see if one sticks. She made it through another night and is holding her own. She is a real wiggle worm. She is not taking to a bottle very well so we have to tube feed her some of the time. I am glad my wife is a vet tech or we would be lost. She has already become a part of the family. I will post pictures occasionally to show her progress.

frnsh, Yes, I meant Palate and not pallet. Thanks for the correction.

I like the one-eyed rabbit named Cyclops so I would name her Smiley O'Houlihan or Grins McGee.

How about Talladega....I want to name my next dog that and then call her Tally for short. Our Westie is named Bristal. Fits her perfect because if we let her hair grow out, it becomes some what brisly.
