[pyrnet] gullivers and such

[WOOF1@att.net]

Cindy and all,

No, I don't mind your copying our Gulliver's name, I was 
just afraid I'd inadvertantly copied yours!  On another 
dog list I used to be on (Clumbers!  We were on the 
waiting list to adopt one, but now with Gully we have 
the No Vacancy sign out!), there were two dogs named 
Yarrabee and Bramble.  LOVED those names, and at the 
same time I felt I could never use it because these were 
long-time list members, and I was the "newby."  But I 
don't mind anyone using my names at all.  My dogs mostly 
have semi-unique names, with Flash and Cricket probably 
being the most common of the bunch.  We also have 
Ripley, Sprocket, Seko and Porsche, as well as 
Gulliver.  Our other golden, who had to be rehomed over 
the winter, was Sassafras.  At work, I get pretty sick 
of the same names over and over.  Buddy, Cody, Lady, 
Sadie, Maggie, Callie (lots of both dogs and calico cats 
named that!), cats named Kitty or Kit Kat...  When I 
name animals for our humane society, I try to be a 
little original, too, and am more likely to name someone 
Celeste or Mina or Sachi or Paisley than Ginger or 
Muffin or Mittens.  

Anyhoo, sounds like my Gully would do well at about 95-
100, at 27" tall.  From what you said about what you 
feed your puppers, it doesn't sound like I'm over-
feeding him at all, and he isn't even a chow-hound, 
either.  Sometimes he'll take a nibble or two and be 
done.  He'll just eat it later at the next feeding.  

Night all,
Lori
