Greta, Braun, Sarsaparilla, Pepper, Sassafras, Brown Dog (Brownie, for short!) Baked Potato (BP for short), Sky and Rocket (mother and son Schnauzers, Dog Rommel; these are all dogs owned by my self or other family members at one time or another. A few other dog I have known are Bear Bear, Pudders, Mr. Lucky, Down, Duke, Thor (a Chihuahua) and Dempsy. My cousin had an old Rambler station wagon she called "Rover" because of the little saying "I had a dog, its name was Rover and when he died he died all over". as did the car... many times. But I've never encountered a dog named Rover or Fido. Good thread. It probably won't end in endless debate but that's OK. I have dial-up and it's torture waiting for the hundreds of entries to download just so I can get my two cents worth in (which is almost always promptly ignored!).
