I got a rescue collie last January, Lynne - when we got him he was between 6 7 8 months old. His name at the kennels was 'Bodie' but that just made me think of The Professionals - and it didn't seem to suit him one bit! he's now just Beau - which seems a lot more appropriate - or perhaps it's Bo (as in Peep, who has lost his sheep??). He gets called all sorts as in 'bloody hell bo' (or el-bo); bim-bo; dum-bo; and his detective alter ego - 'colom-bo'!!!
