Got a new dog from the pound yesterday

[CouesWhitetail]

Well, I went to the pound yesterday and got a beautiful new dog. She is a chow mix and is a real fluff ball. Very sweet and well mannered. I can't believe someone got rid of her. She is about a year old and has been well cared for, but she was at the pound for five days and they said the owner surrendered her after she was picked up on the street with some kids.

 

So far the only two people I have asked for names have said she should be named Sunshine. I think it's a great name, but my husband is thinking perhaps we should get some sort of name that reflects her Chow background which means some sort of chinese name.

 

Info on the breed:

The Chow Chow was used by the Chinese as a working dog doing many different tasks such as a hunter of wolves, sable and pheasant, for herding, cart and sled puller, boat guard, and protection of the home.

 

 

 

So far she hasn't played with Julie, although I sure hope she will.

Fumanchu?

 

Seriously, how about "Mooshu"?

[CouesWhitetail]

She just got a bath. Wow, is she pretty. She will take a week to fully dry though since her coat is so thick!

Wow, what a pretty dog! How about Tikka? Lots of people here shoot the Tikka rifle. The name means an indian meal of meat, vegetables and spices. You won't have to tell anyone that..........

jasmine or jade

Tikka is a really pretty name. And I love chicken tikka masala But if we use it, we will just say it's after the rifle...

Fantastic Amanda! She is beautiful and is one lucky dog to be home with you and Paul. Peg and I have a choy mix and they are a neat dog. Thanks for sharing and take lots of pictures. It will take time but Julie and No Name will be best of friends before you know it.
