***********HINT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**************
my former dog's name is also a type of flora.
Posted by Rudolph (Member # 3236) on :
p.s.
where is the word "dobie" from?
p.p.s
this ^ is not part of the game, it is just a question......
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
There was once a poster named Dobie, who was banned for breaking UBB. He spawned the evil meme which bears his name. And no, they are not funny. None of them are funny. They have never been funny. People for some reason seem to think their own dobies are funny but they are mistaken.
Holly
Posted by Koga (Member # 5646) on :
I think ak probably got it
my best guess was "Hedge"
Posted by ae (Member # 3291) on :
Not true. Some Dobies are funny. Why, I remember one really good one about six months ago. . . no, actually I don't. But I'm pretty sure it existed.

Posted by ana kata (Member # 5666) on :
Rudolph, how could I cheat? Call and ask your mom? <grins>
Yes I have gotten sort of obsessive compulsive about the begging the dog's name question game, so I searched the web for baby name sites and scanned several thousand boy's names starting with S to get some ideas for guesses. It's interesting that as soon as I thought of Shakespeare I was instantly sure that was it.
I'll give a hint about my dog's name if nobody guesses it after one more try.

yup, not very original I know, but she needed a name and it was the best we could come up with.

I (well, my family) have two dogs, both male. One Dalmation, one German Shepherd.
G*****

Guess for ak: Bridget.
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
My dog was our pet when I was 7 years old. She was a mixed breed dog that was hanging around the neighborhood, that we talked our mother into letting us keep. She was pregnant and had 6 puppies whom we named Blackie, Whitie, Spot, Dot, Tiger, and Ringo. She was named for certain features on her coat. People have come rather close but nobody has guessed it yet. The normal and quite proper word for a female dog does not make up part of her name.
This is a fun game! I'm glad you started it, Rudolph! I've guessed 2 right so far! Go me!
I think Anna Jo probably did tell me the name of her new puppy, though I don't recall it, yet I will not guess on hers, in case I already know it.
ttat, which one was the dalmation?

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
ttat, there's an apostrophe at the end of the R name. Is that a letter or not?
Posted by tonguetied&twisted (Member # 5159) on :
George is the Dalmation.
No, the apostrophe is an apostrophe, not a letter.
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
A famous fairy tale animal might well have been called by this name, as an endearment, but the animal in the fairy tale was a cat and not a dog.
(Female, B******)
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
ttat, is the German Shepard R***in'?
I can't think of any other way for words to end in an apostrophe except if they are "ing" words with the G dropped.

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
I am obsessed with this game. We need more dog names to guess!!!!! Come on, folks!
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
OK! OK! Here's one, but ak, I think you know this one, so don't tell!
Everyone else whom I've told, don't tell either!
T******* is my female dog. Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
Yes, I do know that one, Raia. I will refrain from guessing.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Thank you. Posted by Rudolph (Member # 3236) on :
Raia:
Theodore
ak:
I have no clue!!!!!
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
I'm not up to many guesses today, maybe later.
My dog, a male Chow-Chow, is named R****
Though he has a black coat, its not the name you would think I gave him.
HEY. Some people use their pet names as secret computer passwords. Is this an attempt to steal all our passwords?
Posted by Koga (Member # 5646) on :
Should I refrain from guessing this one too Raia? Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
Titanias? Rai
Posted by tonguetied&twisted (Member # 5159) on :
R***in', yes.
Although most people think it's spelled differently when they hear it. The other way to spell it would be R****, however that actually means something completely different. Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
I had two dogs when I was younger. British spaniel collies. The male was brown and white and the female was black and white. They're names were
M*** C********
and
C****** & C****
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
Ak, is it Bootsie? Or something to that effect?
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Abby got it!!!! It's Bootsie! Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
quote: Raia:
Theodore
[REPEAT] *coughs* My dog is female! [/REPEAT]
Nope, you're all wrong so far (all two of you ), keep trying!
(And yes, Koga, you may stay out of this one )
Posted by Koga (Member # 5646) on :
Dan_raven:
is it Roger?

Fiazko:
Matt Caldwell
and:

(I'm not even sure those are the right number of letters)
Raia:
Wait, her name isn't Theodore That explains her trying to slowly eat my hand Posted by Koga (Member # 5646) on :
It seems I kill alot of threads. I'm still wondering what they names of some of these here dogs are.
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
I'm so glad someone revived this thread. I just love this thread. This is the little thread that could. <laughs> The strangely obsessively addictive thread. I read through about 10,000 names off baby name and pet name websites to try and come up with Shakespeare. And wow it was worth it! I feel so very accomplished for guessing it, I really do!
Okay, what do we have outstanding? I will try to guess some more tomorrow night. Right now I have to go to sleep.
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
Koga, valiant and entertaining guesses.
Here's a hint: think sweet.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
fiazko, Milk Chocolate and Caramel&Cream? Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
Hey, I got it right, way back when... Hehehe. Awesome.
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
rivka, you're half right. You got Milk Chocolate, but take another look at CC.
[edit: I never could add. rivka, you're 3/4 right. It's not Caramel.]
[ January 08, 2004, 11:36 PM: Message edited by: fiazko ]
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Hmm, my first thought was Coffee&Cream, but that doesn't have enough letters. Cinnamon&Cream has too many letters -- and it's not the most common combination.
Coconut&Cream?
Wait, wait, wait! Black & white -- COOKIES&Cream!
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
rivka, nothing but love, but that took way too long. And now...I'm hungry.
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
So, to recap, the only ones we're missing at this point are:
tt&t's male German Shepard R***in'
Raia's female dog T*******
Dan Raven's male dog, a Chow-Chow, named R****
New guesses:
ttat: I was sure it was Rollin'! Hmmmm. Robbin'?
Dan Raven: Rusty?

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
I've only had one other dog besides Bootsie. When I was very young, my family had a Boxer I reportedly adored. There's a photo of this Boxer and I sharing a popsicle. I'm licking one side and P***** is licking the other. I barely remember P***** so I don't even know for sure if the dog was male or female. I think male but I'm not sure. The name doesn't really tell you which, but was obviously a play on his breed. We didn't have him long. He kept jumping the fence and bothering the neighbors so we ended up giving him back to the veterinarian we got him from. I was about 3 at the time.
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Well, I have five dogs. However, of course, you already know My Favorite because Frisco has had such a good laugh over that one. Bet you wouldn't have been able to guess his name on here, though, if I hadn't already told you there.
We also have a chihauhau, a german-shepherd mix, an australian shepherd mix, and one mutt that looks a lot like Benji (of the movies). But I won't make you guess all those names...
Farmgirl
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
<Bump to try and get ttat and Dan Raven to reply to my guesses.>
Posted by tonguetied&twisted (Member # 5159) on :
Sorry ak, I'm on holiday!
No, that's not correct. The letters you have right are Ro**in'. Good luck!
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Rolfin'?
My first dog was a wiener girl, chocolate brown, named K******. Her brother was a boy named B*******. Hers is relatively easy, but his should be a stumper. I'll write a sonnet for whomever can guess it.

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
Dan Raven needs to quit writing porn and respond to my last guess!
ttat, I am stumped! Can you give another clue without giving it away?
CT, Katrina and Bologna
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
<sits up and pants awaiting approval for my guesses>
<wimpers repeatedly>
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
ak, spot on with Katrina. Spot on, first guess. *impressed
"Bologna" is too short -- it's actually eight letters long.
Hints:
1. He was a constant companion.
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
<Thumps tail with wild abandon and jumps around the room with glee>
I got THREE! Woo hoo! I am such a killer at Guessing the Dog's Name Question Game!!!!!!
<laughs>
I miscounted the asterisks???? Oops! Sorry! How did that happen?
Buddyboy
Posted by tonguetied&twisted (Member # 5159) on :
CT, no.
ak, this will probably give it away (especially combined with the clue on page one), but here goes: he's always on the move.
No more clues! Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
I eagerly await the unveiling of R.
ak, no, not Buddyboy.
Hint 2: He would sit very, very still.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
He was named Brancusi, after the sculptor Constantin Brancusi.

Roavin' ?
Posted by aka (Member # 139) on :
Roamin'?
Posted by aka (Member # 139) on :
CT, is that it for real? I was going to guess Bratwurst, if I could make it have one less letter, but I would never have gotten Brancusi. Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
My money's on aka's Roamin' (Roman).
Yep, for real. My mom had an odd sense of humor, and I'm still getting some of her jokes just now. Bird in Space represents a wiener dog reaching up for a tidbit very well.
Posted by tonguetied&twisted (Member # 5159) on :
Roamin' (Roman) is correct. Posted by Rudolph (Member # 3236) on :

And for a hint for the name of my Bichon, there are two letters in his name that repeat themselves and one of them is the C.

Clue #1 The dog's name is descriptive.
Posted by alath (Member # 6150) on :
Is it Blackie? I bet it's Blackie. Or maybe Brownie, that could be it. Does the decription have to do with her coloring at all?
Posted by MidnightBlue (Member # 6146) on :
Oh, I wanted to say Brownie.
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
A lil' bump. And, hey, nobody's even tried to guess mine ?! I'll give you a hint: she was famous once.
jebus, what about Jane ? Or June ?
As for punwit, I'd go with Brownie too.
And no idea for alath's C-starting Bichon... Or maybe... Just to be nuts: Coconut ?! Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
Corwin, could it be Laura? Laney? Leeza? Leigh?

Corwin, you got it! I'll post Coconut's story later when I have more time.
and for Corwin's dog, could it be:

Wow, Coconut ? Really ?! Well, being a nut finally pays off !
And nope, none of those I'm afraid.
Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
alath- yes the name has to do with coloring. But Blackie and Brownie are not correct.

She was once a famous dog.

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
quote: Moscow people were very enthusiastic about making the Caucasian a larger dog. The famous military kennel Red Star in Moscow mixed the Caucasian with the St. Bernard and the Newfoundland, trying to create new breeds based on the Caucasian. However, in my estimation they were unsuccessful at creating anything of value! These mixed breeds were bred in Moscow as Caucasian purebreds. The cross breeding produced increased height at the wither, a jowly look to the head, and an unbalanced nervous system. These dogs are huge with a somewhat soft wavy coat (a disqualification because the Caucasian must have a straight, offstanding coat), and they bark excessively without cause. However, a few dogs were saved in Moscow having an old purebred bloodline, offspring of the famous dog Leman, which are now considered very precious in breeding. Other breeders from all over Russia who try to preserve the breed often utilize this bloodline. In Dnieperpetrovsk, the modern center of dog business, the Caucasians are predominantly of Moscow breeding.
