Guest OurIndy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hi everyone! I posted a few days ago about my 2nd dog anxieties and got lots of wonderful support, so here is the update as promised! So we went to Greyhound Friends to get Wiggles yesterday afternoon. I got to meet zombrie/Brie (thank you so much for taking such beautiful pictures, she looks like such a wild child in them!) and reintroduce Indiana and Wiggles. The reintroduction went great and we were so excited to take our little girl home! First things first, as per the rules (apologies for bad quality, all taken on a phone, in low light, and she's only in her crate in the house for now): The little miss this morning in the snow: In the car on the way home (she stepped on/fell on Indy the whole ride home and he didn't make a peep) Sibling bonding even during crate training Taking the requisite neutral territory walk Relaxing morning in bed Our little girl is at once perfect (snuggly, full of piss and vinegar, chatty, tolerant) and a little difficult (serious case of happy tail, chewing at her spay sutures, vocal). All in all, she's a delight to have in our home and she's taking all these big changes in stride. We're ecstatic about our new girl and Indy seems to love her too which was the whole point! Last order of business, naming. We're pretty sure we'd like to change it (probably still using Wiggles as a nickname because, well, it's all she does). We're thinking about the names Piper, Winny, Kit, Olive, Eliza, and some other I think I'm forgetting. Any one have any favorites or ideas for names for a crazy little tom-boy with a lot to say?

Guest PhillyPups Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 OMG she is stunning I absolutely love the name Wiggles, it makes me giggle to read it. I would keep that name, as everyone WILL know who she is. Just my opinion, but it is such a cute and unique name. But, then, I kept Moe for my little girl.

Feisty49 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 She's a pretty girl and I *love* the name. Told my adoption group that if I should adopt another Grey, I am going to rename it Wiggles 'cause I think it's so cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OurIndy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 DevilDog: IT IS KIT FROM "A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN!" Sorry I just got so excited, but I love that you got the reference. It was my dream when I was younger to have two girl dogs named "Kit" and "Dottie" but for them to be more genial with each other than in the film On the naming front: We love the name Wiggles too but I sort of have a thing about naming pets real people names (I think from having too many friends with animals named Spot and Mugsy and Rover etc). Also she's so dainty and pretty that I would like her to have a name that is definitely female. She's so vocal that we think that Piper might be fitting. That said, Wiggles does sort of seem to be sticking.....I wish we could just have her choose somehow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPoopon Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 She's very cute! I love the long neck. I too like the name Wiggles. Be careful about naming a dog Piper--right after I named my Piper, she proved the aptness by spending a morning at the vet clinic singing the house down. Whatever you call her, Congratulations!!!

Guest bigbrindlebunny Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 You may not have a choice. I didn't want to name mine Pete. It stuck. He was called Pete around the Track, and in his first moments in my home DBF waggled his ears and yelled "It's Petey!" After that, well, Vets ask for their names, you have to register them places, and somehow Pete it was, afterall. So personally, I think you may wind up embracing the name Wiggles. That said, Piper is a name that comes with a lot of panache. There have been some wonderful dogs named Piper on GT. It's got good vibrations and good karma.

Guest Garwood Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 taken on a phone, in low light The little miss this morning in the snow: No, this is a good picture. If I tilt my screen a little, a the color washes out and I just see Wiggles' silhouette. I was outside one night, wrangling trashcans in the dark. My neighbor walked by and asked, "Is that your new dog looking out the window?" "Yeah, that's him." "Why did you get a Doberman? I thought you were getting a greyhound." I turned and looked. All you could see were his shoulders and head. His ears were up He did look like a Doberman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
