I Met A Puppy Called 'atticus' This Evening.

[sandyRoe]

The others I know around here are called, Annie, Bonnie, Max, Nigel, and Meg. Is Atticus too posh a name for a dog?

[pixie373]

It's cool. I have a Sam(son) and a Cody.

[sandyRoe]

Two I'd forgotten, Daisy and Henry.

[pixie373]

Those are Hoovers, sandy...

[pixie373]

Also- it depends what sort of dog. Some need posh names. I know a Chihuahua called Geraldine.

[rockyracoon]

I like Atticus for a dog, a brave name from To Kill A Mockingbird.

[sandyRoe]

I said to the woman who was walking him that there weren't many Mockingbirds around here

[DaisyNonna]

That's a cat and a dog for me.

[pixie373]

They were killed, sandy. After the book came out.

[anneasquith]

no its a lovely name.........but nigel ?

[sandyRoe]

Nigel is shortened to Nige. I'm not so sure Atticus is a good name. Imagine if you had to call it in the park. It's nearly as bad as Montmorency, the dog that travelled with the 3 men in their boat.

[DaisyNonna]

Mother had a dog called Flint.

I volunteered with the homeless in London, one of whom had a dog called 'Taxi', which he used to call for in the street.

[tonyav]

No sandy, not to posh at all imo, gives him status.

[sandyRoe]

Those homeless people with dogs, if they need a bed for a few days where does the dog go? Is there any provision to get them a kennel for a few days?

[Wharton]

Deefor 'dog'

[campbellking]

Some hostels and night shelters will accept pets (i.e. St Mungos in London). The Dogs Trust provides a list of dog friendly hostels that can be used.

[pastafreak]

Atticus is a great name for a dog...a big dog.

A lot of hostels allow dogs. I think pets can be a lifeline for many rough sleepers.

[Jeza]

I know someone who has two staffies called Stan and Dave. Most odd imo.

[sandyRoe]

There was a staffie near where I used to live called, Satan. It was the best tempered dog I've ever seen.

What breed was the puppy?
