It worked because the breed tends to flail (or "jack-hammer") when it jumps, and the name was simple like the dog it was given to.

The right name will come to you though.
I'm sure it will. When we found it, 86 suggested all sorts of TF-related pun names, but they seemed inappropriate once we discovered it was a girl. I don't think Howlinger works in that case!
House-training, like any other training, 1 part routine with 1 part love and 1 part patience. Remember, your dog wants to do what you tell her to do. Any mistakes she makes are mistakes, not rebellion.

-kind of envies you.
Oh, yeah, that much I get. I'm generally patient anyway, so yeah. Apparently he's moving out in a day or two, so.

Not only is The Jerk one of my favourite movies, but I even sampled it in a song!

Speaking of, I did it. The Tidal Wave EP is finished. I even sold one last night! For money! I am $3 richer. Also you can download it, if you ask for a link.

Post the link it a new thread my friend.


As for the dog, avoid TF related names. Your dog is worth more than a toy-name. I named one of my cats after William Sherman and/or the tank, as it had a sort of absurd appeal to have a slightly larger than average cat named after a great general. (The fact Sherman is actually very well mannered only adds to the fun.) It is also a legitimate "name".

Well, the TF name suggestion came from 86 to begin with, who named his Barbarian character in Diablo II...Grizzly-One.

That name actually works for "Diablo" though.

Dom
-wants a dog. :(

I named a highly affectionate and handsome kitty after a murderous Transylvanian despot and impalement fetishist. But I think I'm funny, so it works out.

The irony is that I have to be more careful about my cat's name, as more people would likely be offended by it if they knew the history.

Dom
-would probably change Sherman's name if, (for some reason), a move to the south was needed.

If you don't feel like sharing it in open forum, please, for the love of god, PM me with those details! I live for stuff like that. :lol:

Wouldn't that work better for the Druid who... actually turns into a bear?

I'm horribly unimaginative with names. My diablo characters all have pop culture names (except the ones I named after my friends). I have a Druid named Grimlock, a barbarian named Kratos, another one named Lord Prime, there's also, Teela, Buffy, Evil lynn, Skeletor/Keldor, Megatron, He-Man, and I freely admit that it's kind of lame.

God, I'm a dork.

Oh, almost forgot this is the hauls thread! Wait, it's technically December.

New thread!
