Yes, rough collie is like Lassie. An incredibly patient dog who would tolerate our budgie picking the hair between her toes. On one occasion the budgie jumped into her mouth when she yawned, fortunately with no unfortunate consequences.
We are now the owners of a 9 week old Cockerpoo (sadly we lost Eric our BSH cat, in July, he wasn't yet two). We were going to call him Ernie if we still had Eric, we have called him Henry. I like proper names for my animals.
My friend has given her children very unusual names that are difficult to both spell and pronounce. Her animals are Winston ( a bulldog), Tony and Geoff
Congratulations, bednobs :-) xx
Alfie, Benny, Charlie, Ollie, Sammy, Tommy... I like people nicknames as well, seems friendly.
I have a friend with 3 dogs, called Stephen, Ian and Carol :-)
