Scruffie needs a name

A couple of weeks ago, my husband discovered an abandoned dog by his office. The poor dog was all dirty and scared. After some days however she got close enough to one of the ladies that works there because she brought her some food and water, so that's when they noticed it was a girl doggy, and she wasn't too old. But she was rather filthy and scruffie from sleeping under a car. It's been freezing over in that area.


Well, today we went to get her to take care of her, so she went to the vet, to a good wash, shots and a nice meal. She was not dark gray... she is actually white! LoL
Poor thing. Well, she is much better now. Seems like we are now proud owners of a little terrier dog.
Unfortunately, when I tried to introduce Panzon to her, he got in a hissy fit, scratched me and tore my blouse in one part :oC ouch!
I wish I had a camera nearby to tape his radical change from melted lazy bum into puffed up, hissing irritated bum :oB


I took him out where he has kept a healthy distance, but I hope they eventually will be friends. After all, they will share a backyard :o)

So.... now that she is clean and cute, she needs another name. Any ideas...?
Or should she remain "Scruffie"? LoL
UPDATE: Feb 13 Scruffie is due to have 5 puppies in less than 2 weeks... OMG!!

  4. Hi Martha, how kind of you to take her in a your new family pet member. She looks like one of my family pet members named Chippy because chippy has an id chip in her shoulder. I think Scruffles is a good name. She looks a little unsure of what is going on, but before long she will be right at home and give you the unconditional love that they give. By the way, I've already entered the OWOH giveaway here. Stop by my blog and enter my giveaway. I'm number 796 on the list. Take care.

  8. She's beautiful. You are truly special people to take her into your hearts and home. I don't have a name to suggest, I can never make up my mind on a name when we get an animal! I think too hard about them having to live with it all their life. It was agonizing when I had kids, almost worst than labor. haha

  10. I am so happy for the newest member of your household. She is such a sweetie, as are you for adopting her. I like the suggestion from above Conchita or Bonita.

  11. She looks like a Scruffie--I think it's the perfect name.

    We have a dog that came into the house after a cat that's been in the family for years. The dog just wants to play and be the friends and the cat just wants to tease the dog, irritate her and then hiss at her when she gets too close :D They still live together, pretty happily, so I'm sure, one way or the other, it'll work out between them.

    Congrats on the new addition to the family!

  14. I believe that for some... dogs are angels in disquise... They are led to us for reasons that we may or may not understand. Bless you both for giving this little angel a home and the love she deserves. I have a feeling she will bring something very special into your life.
    xoxo

    She will be most grateful for this wonderful turn in her life, every dog deserves a good and loving home and I think Scruffie pulled a Bingo meeting you. So nice to read stories like this one, that just made my day :*)
