"Are YOU lookin' at ME?"

"You wanna talk smack about my fluffy head again? I'll kick your pit bull *ss! I may be descended from a poodle, but I'll take you down, son!"

As Hubs strolled into the kitchen while I was cooking last night, I asked him, "Hey, if we get a cockapoo, we have to name it something really tough, to be ironic. Like a prison name. Ya know?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah?"

I nodded. "Totally. Like Spike. Or Betsy the Knuckles."

"Betsy the Knuckles?" he repeated.

I nodded again. "Yeah."

He shook his head. "You've been thinking of that one for a while, haven't you?"

He knows me well. "I might have spent some time on this."

We had a cockapoo for about a year and a half.. he was so cute! black and white and we named him Shamrock.. not a very tough name, but still... If our experience is anything to go on, those are very energetic dogs.. We would take him out and throw around a tennis ball for an hour or so and instead of tiring him out, it energized him! I seriously don't think we ever saw him sleep (other than at night) in the time that we had him. We moved and couldn't take him with us, but we loved that little high energy pup!

That cracks me up. You could be like us and name your boy dog with a girl's name (Zoe in our case) to, you know, make sure they get made fun of at the dog park. :) Actually we thought Zoe was a she-dog because he was so itty bitty when we got him. We soon realized he was a boy but the name had already suck. :)

My Pearl is red, my only choices were red, white, or blue, so I went with the red one. I really love it so far, you should totally get a pink one! :) I totally think Cletus is a girl, I will be shocked if it's a boy.

for your wet bar downstairs, you could take out all the upper cabineting (the only thing keeping it looking like a kitchenette and not a real bar), paint the walls a darker colour (better for the projection screen too) and add an islandy-type of bar thing on one side. presto. insta-bar. ok, maybe not insta.

We have a Westie who's real name is Saffron - because she was SO DAMN EXPENSIVE.

My friend has a teeny little poodle named Pistol and a Pit Bull named Daisy. Pistol is the boss in that house though.
