Keith, the new dog

His last owners named him but it does suit him.

Lovely happy dog jenn ( did you name him, it seems unusual name for a dog.)

What a lovely picture!

What a handsome chap Keith is he seems to be smiling doesn't he ? my sons little pug is called Frank and his inlaws have a pug called Derek human names seem to be very popular.

Aww, just checked back to care if a photo of Keith had materialised and there was his lovely face peering out. What a beautiful boy

Lovely pic of Keith. He looks so friendly.

Thanks to those asking about Georgie. I have been updating her progress in Soop's kitchen.

Jud I hope she makes a good recovery

What a handsome boy Keith is

Aw, Keith`s gorgeous!
Good vibes going to Georgie.

Keith, who seems to have a better memory than me.After him forcing me to play fetch from the bath on Tuesday by dropping his toy in today he obviously wanted to play again.I left the bath running whilst I was in the bedroom and when I went back his saliva ,sodden,plastic bone was already in the bath!!!Cheeky buggar

gilly
Just loving all the names for your girls and boys

jud hope your girl is soon well again. X

Keith sounds to be a real love of a dog. Enjoy his company. I hope he makes up for the pain of losing your other dogs.

As some of you already know, my lovely spaniel was knocked down by a van on Saturday and is still very poorly. I am missing her in the house so much and our wonderful wide ranging walks where she galloped around full of life and excitement. Dogs are such wonderful companions and, as you say Jenn , so good for physical and mental health.

What a fab name for a dog jenn .

A couple who live across the road to me have a dog called Alan and silly me spent months calling the owners Mark and Alan as I thought it was the dog that was called Spike. I even sent a Christmas card
To Mark and Alan and Spike the Dog (with a little paw print after the Spike). They sent one back putting me right. I bet they had a laugh.

How lovely to have a friend like Keith - jolly good luck with him I envy you.

Keith The Dog

I like it, hope you have many happy years with him

downtoearth, our first cat, 1976, was called David. Later, 1993, we had a cat called Nigel, years before Monty Don named his retriever Nigel. We have always used human names for our animals, made a change from all the Mistys, Smudge, Rover etc names.

What a great post. We are very doggie here and have just relinquished our beautiful guide dog pup after having him since he was 7 weeks old for a year. He has now gone to do his advanced training and will hopefully be a guide dog in 6 or 7 months. Anyone looking for a dog, not puppy, can always apply to Guide Dogs...they are always looking to home dogs who have been withdrawn from the programme or retired guide dogs. You are pretty much guaranteed to have a well trained dog!

We have renamed our lovely lab cross rescue dog; he was a stray and allocated a name at the rescue centre that just happened to be the name of our youngest son. Now he's Lincoln - Linc for short.

It's twenty years since we lost our last dog (also a lab) and I'd forgotten what a joy it can be. On Monday Linc is going to a 'playgroup for dogs' and we're very excited to see how he gets on. Is it only me who didn't know such a thing existed? It was recommended by the vet to help with socialisation.

Keith sounds lovely, good luck with him.

callgirl think it is quite a popular name...my last girl was a black lab called Ellie...I love the name Keith...sorry for going off at a tangent but animals with human names seem to around more I used to have a cat called Jeffrey...know of 3 other greyhounds called Sheila Stan. and Dave

Downtoearth, I also know someone with a rescued greyhound named Bella, must be a popular name!
Keith sounds lovely.

keith has settled in well and I am so enjoying the long walks and chatting with the other dog owners.He is such a happy ,playful dog you cant help but smile at him, not sure about him with the horses but he will stay in the car whilst I muck out,although he is rather vocal!
Looking at training classes now he is wonderful off the lead and always comes to call but pulls like a train on the lead, might even have a go at agility as he is so full of energy...not sure about my energy levels though.

She is called Bella
