We've adopted a dog! Well almost.
After work yesterday we went out to a place on the way to Loch Lomond that re-homes abandoned, unwanted or stray dogs and cats. There was one lovely wee chap who we asked to meet and we both thought he was great! He is a mongrel, and we're not quite sure what age he is (he was a stray) but they think he is between two and three. Unfortunately, however, he has a skin condition at the moment and so we need to wait to see if he recovers. The vet is very optimistic that he will and he is having a final check on the 9th September. So, until then we are going to go and visit him, and try and come up with a name. Any suggestions?!
Silas? Rowan?
When I was at theological college, our neighbour got a mongrel and named it 'Runcie' (after the then AB of C), much to the annoyance of some. It works beautifully as a dog name, though it can sound like you named the dog after its position in the litter. Try calling it out!

I suggested Silas, but it was rebuffed by YKW!

I had an English teacher at school who had a mongrel called "Bitsa"
Cos he was bitsa this, and bitsa that, and bitsa something else as well......
I likes it.
tell YKW that Silas is a cool name!

I've recently thought Keith was a great name for a dog. (Apologies to any non dog lover readers called Keith)
Hope you are both/all well.

you could try "handyman" if he keeps doing little jobs around the house or keeps making a bolt for the door!
