I Have a Roomie...And It's a Boy!

It's also not human.

(Aren't I a tease?)

Anyway, last night I finally decided to take the half Chihuahua half Pekingese puppy my cousin has been trying to give away for the last two months.

So I'd like you all to meet...well, he doesn't really have a new name yet. For now, he's just Dog Formerly Known as Jigga (because that name was way too gangster for my tastes).



I'm still shopping around for a new name. Right now I have:

Courage the Cowardly Dog
Poopy (though he's yet to actually poop here)
[Insert Name of Dog]
Mira tu, entremetido! (Hey you, nosy!)
Pssst!
Gizmo (because I have this vision of him drinking waaay too much water and transforming into a gremlin. You should see these ears!)

Any other suggestions? The kid is tiny and hella shy.

  2. dama, he doesn't want to play ANYTHING!! I think he's broken...

    Or it could be that he's still terrified about being taken out of that bathroom prison he lived in with his mother. I'm here rolling on the floor trying to get him to do SOMETHING. I even told him there was only room for one depressed person in this house.

  4. I think you need to wait on the name a couple days to be honest. See if he gets outta this shy phase first...especially if you're wanting to name him after his personality.

  21. heidi & our fantasy, two more tallies for gizmo then.

    our fantasy, I actually read the book way back when it came out, but I don't think I'll watch the movie. Loooved the book though :)

    dama, y obie wan kanobie?

    merc, Lord help me. I keep telling myself "I will not treat you like a human baby." "I will not dress you in clothes- that stuff freaks me out." We'll see how this turns out.

    intense guy, another tally mark!

    gabby, thanks!

    dariany, what about "Dooky?"

  23. No nos podemos negar...

    Now hurry up and bring food! I'm famished here taking care of this child.

  24. calm down lady! hows my neph doing?

    im staying a few more minutes cuz a worker had to step out for a bit. k kieres comer? chinos? what exactly?

    ReplyDelete
  25. To be honest...Im liking Gizmo as well. Depending on how far down that white spot goes on his belly, I'd almost be inclined to call him Oreo.

    oooh or maybe Keebler?

    If he's the type to greet you at the door with his tail a waggin...Earl may be a good name too (from the Mutts comic)or if he's a little begger call him Mooch (yeah, I know that's the cat but it's still acute name).

  26. dama, he's fine. Mr. Gizmo Stevens Formerly Known as Jigga has just had his first accident on the floor. Kid is quick!! So I took him to the bathroom and put him on top of the wee wee pad and left him alone while I cleaned up the mess. When I came back to him he'd peed me a river - on the pad!! Then I proceeded to shower him with "Good boy! Good boy! Good boy!"

    I want real food. Not chinese. Thanks.

    blythe, thanks! Ooh, good one. Reminds me of Fievel :)

  27. Adorable!

    Hmm, I like old man names like Ralph, Oscar, Charlie, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I think this means I have to get over my fear of dogs =)

    ReplyDelete
  29. He looks like a Gizmo!

    ReplyDelete
  30. oh his face is so cute. like a little monkey! oh soooo CUTE!!!! omgsocute.DYINGfromCUTENESS

    ReplyDelete
  31. ladystyx, I hope he's the greet-me-at-the-door-with-his-tail-wagging-like-crazy type. Sure beats coming home to a dark and empty apartment! And I like reading Mutts too :p

    gooseberried, my friend heidi's dog is named Charlie (though he was named after the horse in Lambchop's Play Along) so I guess that's taken!

    jk, yes because seriously it's about time. I fear for your children if you ever come across an animal in the street. You would totally ditch them!

    maegan, lol! Yes, he is cute. But just a little. Can't have him walking around acting conceited now.

    ReplyDelete
  32. If you're going with Gizmo, that's much better than Dooky, cause it's too much like Dookie, which is well...look it up, lol.

    I've never been a little dog type of person, I prefer the big ones, but he is awfully cute.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Super cute!

    I don't know what you should name him. I agree with whoever said wait and see what his personality's like. We named my Dad's new cat Yoda, and now my Dad thinks "he" might be a "she." lol That's what happens when you name them too fast!

    ReplyDelete
  34. So cute!!!
    You know, his face in the first picture sort of reminded me of King Julian from "Madagascar". I think it's the eyes and ears. Also I may be a tad tired, so whatever.

    ReplyDelete
  35. oh he's so adorable. Thank you for taking him and taking him out of the bathroom prison. argh!
    I say wait a couple days and let him get used to you and then think of a name, one will come to you, i'm sure, when you really see his personality. I'm sure he's scared and has no idea what the hell is going on. But I'm so excited for you, dogs are great friends...unconditional love!

  36. To cute!!

    I'm odd, but I tend to name my pets with actual "people" names for some reason.

    You are in NY, and when I think NY I think Sex and the City. What about "Scout" or "Pete"? Can you tell I watched reruns all during the Christmas break? : )

    ReplyDelete
  37. chicagolady, oh no worries. I know full well what it means & it is very much NOT an option!

    And I've always wanted a cute little dog even though they're such yappers. But this one is so quiet, I hope it stays this way. I did want a Rottweiler for a moment since it'd be awesome if my tiny self could handle one. Plus, it'd be nice for protection purposes.

    wife o riley, he says thanks!

    lainey, yipers! For a second I wasn't sure if he was truly a he, but now I'm positive. And I still haven't decided on a name even though the sis calls him three different things. Unfortunately, a ruthless Dominican dictator is one of them and I do not like it.

    kelsey, omg I see it too! He looks like a little lemur. Maybe I can get him to dance to "I Like to Move It." I'll be sure to post a video if he ever does.

    our juicy life, yup, I'm waiting - omg, he's here lying on the floor and licking his little paws. Aaah too adorable! I want to eat him up.

    kelley, Pete! I loved Pete. Remember when Carrie lost him? Ha! I can still see her running down the street like a madwoman.
