Barney (aka Willow)
Permalink Closed

Picked up new foster dog on Saturday from kennels at Langbank. What can i say - he's been a complete gentleman since he arrived, great in car, great in house, great with other dogs (mine and also other ones he's met out walks), a wee cuddle monster!!


He's called Barney at the moment, but im not that keen on the name and wanna change it. I have thought of a few but havent decided yet! I really like the names - Amos, Ouzo, Shady and a few more. Anyone got any ideas or think he suits anything?


Here is a few picks of him He's just beautiful

What a wee sweetheart.  He's gorgeous.  Whatever you decide on, I'm sure it will suit him perfectly.  He's about to realise what a lucky boy he is!

He is lovely Jennifer and well done on your fostering, i'm sure he will flourish in your care just like Luna did.


I always said if i ever got another black dog it would be called Diesel or shadow but i like your idea of Shady, think it suits him. Best of luck with him, I'm sure he will find a forever home very soon. Hugs to Millie too of course

He looks like a Captain Jack Sparrow to me - but I do tend to go for overly long names!  He is absolutely gorgeous, as is Millie, good luck on his new name and please tell us what you finally decide!

Jennifer this might be a bit naff - you decide, but Barney's racing name was 'Crackers Store' and he is a wee Cracker and it is near crimbo....

He's lovely

Well done for taking on another foster, he looks like he's settled in quickly. I like Amos - I think it would suit him. Let us know what you decide!

 OK who is responsible for the names then? I get confused cos the same names keep cropping up for the same colour of dogs! (Now you see why my lot are all different colours )


  Great news for 'that' Barney anyway!

Congratulations on your new house guest Willow, he looks utterly charming and I am sure will come in in leaps and bounds in your care. Glad your little trio are helping him out. Nora

Great choice of name.  I hope he is settling in well. 


I also love the collar Luna is wearing in her photos.  Where did you get it (if you don't mind me asking!) and does it come in a variety of colours?


Thanks


Alexis

Willow was feeling very sorry for himself last night, but he's ok this morning. To be honest i think i was more worried than him Poor wee mite but hopefully  he'll be back to normal in no time. He's a pleasure to have around the house



Alexis, the pink collar came from the GAL shop about a year ago so not sure if they still sell them. Best to check with Lorna as she does the shop stuff

Some more piccies of Mr Windy Willow


The piccies of them on the bed may look a bit rude (like he's trying to "get it on" with millie), but i can assure you, it was all innocent, they were fast asleep
