Title: Help my boyfriend wants to name our new puppy Dr. Zoidberg (now with more pics)
Post by: Serenity on May 10, 2008, 12:28:25 AM
Well my boyfriend watches a lot of cartoons. And we may be getting a new puppy. And my boyfriend is adamant that we call him Dr. Zoidberg.  :confused1:

I personally think it's a terrible name. Especially if he runs off or something. I don't want to be running around the neighborhood calling for Dr. Zoidberg. I mean seriously.

But I know once we get the puppy he'll refuse to call it anything else. What am I going to do?

Do you really need to get a puppy together if you can't even negotiate a name?

I didn't think not agreeing on a name would matter on how well we take care of it together. We both agree on how we will take care of it ie. feeding, excercise, training schedule, potty training etc. I figure those are the important things.

I mean I guess i can call the dog Doc for short.

I just thought it'd be a funny story kind of because it shows how silly my boyfriend is.

Dr.Zoidberg? Interesting name. Like you already said,you could just call him Doc for short,and that sounds ok.

Well we picked him up yesterday. He's a real sweetheart. Very underweight though. we gotta fatten him up.

Without further ado.

For only eight weeks old he's pretty well potty trained. He's only had one accident and that was my fault anyways not his. He's going to be VERY smart. I can tell already.

He's cute!  What breed is he?

He's a sheltie mix. They said momma was a pure bred sheltie and dad looked like a sheltie mix.

He doesn't much look like a sheltie to me but who knows what he'll look like when he grows up and grows into his giant head.

Aww, he sure is a cutie. Hey his name is not bad. When my son got his first dog he named him PopperCannon. Of course he was five at the time. I tried to persuade him to keep his shelter name which was Garrett. Anyways, PopperCannon is almost ten now. His name fits him now. He is a basset mix.

Just an update on DR. Z he's doing much better.

He's alot more active and finally acting like a puppy. He's getting better by the hour I swear. his vet appt. is tommarow at 7. Hopefully he'll have a completely clean bill of health just like his foster mom said and we'll just have to fatten him up.

That's good! I hope he turns out obedient,and not like my pup,Carlin,who I secretly think is completely wolf,and doesn't just have wolf blood in him.  :yelcutelaugh: He sure acts like a wild dog sometimes..  ::) ;)

He went to the vet today. He got a clean bill of health. The vet thinks he's more like 6 weeks old. He goes back in for his follow up shots in a couple weeks.

More pictures when my sister sends me the ones she took and when i get my camera back from my mom

He is simply adorable and I kinda like the name!

I had a similar situation when I was married.  I wanted a basset and my husband said ONLY if its a boy and we can name him Donk.  Donk...oye.  Well... i went with it and I called him Donkey and it totally fit because he moved just like Donkey on Shrek!

Anyways, he is just to cute for words!
