I need a name - Page 3

The dog's name is usually what it will respond to. Since the dog is nearly deaf and can only hear loud noises, which is why it does not respond to one's voice, it can be named symbolically after whatever is done to get it's attention:

If you clap your hands - call it hands, manos, or mains ...
If you ring a bell - call it bell or ringer ...
If you toot a horn - call it horny ... well, maybe that's not such a good example; but, you get my drift.

PS: Howdy Folks.

Hiya NoBoxes

I had a white cat that was totally deaf, everybody used to say "what's your cats name", I'd reply "he's deaf, he doesnt need a name", he did come when you clicked your fingers...if he was looking at you.

I'm not good at names.

Someone named named our tough little spitz 'peach' and I couldn't change it.
Fortunatly it's in another language.

Hey, that's an idea. A name in another language. Just don't make it end with the 'no sound'

I had the best dog ever when I was a kid. She was a golden retriever and I named her Sunny. I miss her a lot.

If he was a girl dog, I'd say name her Helen Keller

Anyway, I vote for Hitch

Strictly speaking, it doesn't matter what you call him - he's not gonna hear it.

How about Justice?

TiddyBaby · 04-20-2006, 11:31 AM

Good point, you could either step over it, or kick its ass out of the way.

See if it's a eunuch or can still be a scoundrel

Spexxvet · 04-20-2006, 12:09 PM

Bumpy (cause he bumps into things)

What? (cause he can't hear)

Dick (cause dick jokes are always funny)

Dubya (cause Bush sucks)

Sammy Davis Jr or Sandy Duncan (cause he's blind in one eye)

Steven Hawking (does it need an explanation?)

Iowa (cause he'll be incontinent soon)

Stain (cause you can call "come stain")

Dickizit (cause people will ask "whose dick is it?")

Sofa, because it won't come when you call it either.

HEY DOG!

JayMcGee · 04-20-2006, 05:35 PM

I can only recount our experince in naming our original cats......

Crackers, 'cos she was...

Then we obtained Anco, as company for Crackers, and the current wife thought it would be cool to stand in the garden at night and yell 'Crackers Anco'....

Then Limit arrived.... was going to be called 'Limited' to continue the above theme, but OTOH three's the Limit....

...or so I thought till Mischief came along.... her mother was Trouble......

Hope this helps.....

No. She is not interested in begging. She will accept tidbits sometimes but since she can neither see well nor hear well, she must sniff out said treat. This is a welcome change from Junior, who can hear cellophane crinkle from a mile away and assume the position within five seconds.
