Help Name My NEW Mini-Schnauzer Puppy!
I broke down finally and got a NEW Mini-Schnauzer Puppy. The puppy is a boy. I know I said I wanted to get a girl, but this guy was just too cute. He comes when you call him, he plays for like 10 minutes then needs a 20 minute nap, he adores food & loves his picture taken.
I found out about him from the Fox6.com website. I called the ad and asked if it was OK to visit the puppy, the guy said yes so Emily and I headed down. Their were two puppies left both boys. One puppy was very shy, unresponsive & not lively. Then there was the puppy I chose who was running all over the house, but when called would come to you. I was hooked, but Emily convinced me to sleep on it and decide tomorrow. Tomorrow is today and I made my final decision to pick up my new little man. We went down to pick him up right as the New England Patriots beat the San Diego Chargers (woohoo).
Since being at my house it took him all of 30 minutes to fully get comfortable and start running around the house. Herbie has been awesome, so good in fact that he hasn't growled or done anything aggressive to the puppy at all. The puppy almost went poops on the bed, but Emily saw him as he got into the pooping position and we rushed him outside where he defocated with perfection.
Finally what this blog is all about, what do I name my new little man? I've called him "Benny" & "Barney", but nothing is set in stone. In fact my mom emailed two emails with 10 names in each email. Give me your suggestions and let me know what you like!!!

If you're going with any of those names, I vote for Frisco. But they all kinda suck. Then again, I tried to name my dog Devo and no one would call him that 'cause they said it sucked so bad. So I'm probably not the right person to ask.
You could always name him RSM. We kinda look alike.

RSM: RSM doesn't really roll off the tongue thats the only problem...hmmm

So cute! Congrats on your new bundle of fur.
Have you considered any Filipino names since you love Filiponos?
I like Frisco best out of the list you gave.
Some suggestions? Bam-Bam, Stud, Beachboy, Bruno, Mugsy, Rocky

James is kind of boring to tell you the truth. But he's your dog so you should name him what you want, and it should be something that fits your personality. That's why I thought you'd pick up on my suggestion of Stud :)
