LUXO!!!!

Assuming everything goes well with Smoke the Rescue on Sunday, I've decided to change his name. I was thinking of going with Bean, Ender's protege from the book Ender's Game where Ender got his name, or Jazz because I love the music and it's a cool name, or Boomer from Battlestar Galactica among a ton of others. But 10 seconds after telling my girlfriend I was getting another dog, she said "Well you have to name it Luxo!"...to my shock. Why I didn't think of that myself is BEYOND me. Anyone get the reference????

I don't. But I'm sure Lindsay will love the new girlfriend reference.

I don't. But I'm sure Lindsay will love the new girlfriend reference.

She won't care, she knows about her. In fact she insists that I date women who love dogs, and disapproves of those who don't, not to mention it's been 2 years since we broke up...thanks though.

I have no idea what the reference to Luxo is. Sorry But it sounds like a great name!

OHH. I know Luxo, but not by name! I always laugh at those little animations.

It's a cute name! Fingers and paws crossed that it all works out!

Great name! I hope everything works out.

 

[sarah]

aww of course! haha...! I love it.

 

[MNLab]

Ok, I got it after you posted the link, cute name!

 

[Clanceycanuck]

Great name Eric - fingers and paws crossed that it works out.

 

[Thunders Mom]

I don't, even after looking at the lamp.

Good luck with new dog.

 

[Dexter Dogg]

Good luck with the new addition!

I just have one question....how did you manage to get custody of Ender?

Veronica would NEVER let me have Dexter if we broke up.


- Dave (not planning on ever breaking up coz his wife rocks his world)

I like Bean and Boomer myself. Luxo doesn't really roll off the tongue.

Luxo doesn't really roll off the tongue.

Gotta agree. You two know what it means - 95% of the rest of the population won't get it and you'll spend the rest of his days explaining his name. Also think about yelling "Luxo" at the dog park. Personally, I would go with something else

I actually like Smoke. Why not keep it?

 

[MidwestGirl]

So Luxo is a baby lamp?

He's not just a baby lamp, he's the iconic figurehead for the greatest animation group in the history of cinema!!!

I actually like Smoke. Why not keep it?

I'm not a fan, and I've read it's easy to get labs to respond to a new name. So why not pick something I like?

It is! Any dog for that matter - look at all the dogs in shelters and rescues whose names were never known? We named Sammy when we found him and he was around 4 years old. Picked it up right away.

Ditto.
