Re: what do you think about this nic name
This is an intersting conversation, but you know we do "crate" babies in a sense. Putting them in a crib can be considered crating, dont you think? But then they grow out of that kind of crate! And later when we dont let them go out of the yard unless mommy or daddy is with them.... that is the same as when you only let your dogs stray out of the yard unless mommy and daddy take them on a leash! So yes Nan having a dog is the same as having a kid. Except a dog is always like a kid, even when they grow up!
And to the point of naming kids after relatives. Ryan wanted to name our son Bucth after his grandfather and uncle and cousin...etc But I wouldnt let him cause I would of never called him that! What would of been the point unless your going to call your kids by that name? Plus Caleb is alot better name...LOL

You know, I never really looked at it that way before, but yes. A baby's crib *is* really like a crate! Some studies on canine intelligence have concluded that a dog's intelligence may develop to that of a 2-year-old child, so having a dog is like having a perpetual toddler in the house. That's certainly the case with miniature pinschers, as these little guys are *constantly* getting into mischief, and demanding to be cuddled like babies.Speaking of my minpins, my latest "foster child" may be going to a new home soon. If you'd like to see a picture of her, go to this website:www.minpinrescue.organd either scroll down til you get to Tyra, or do a Control + F search for the name "Tyra". Isn't she a pretty little girl? :)-- Nanaea

She is adorable, I love Minpins. My mother has one. Actually My sister and i bought her when she was a pup, and my mother kind of took her. Since my sister and I probably wouldnt give her up to the other my mom was like she is mine...cant argue with your mother! But I still call her my Baby girl when ever I go over there! Her name is Sheba but she answers to "baby girl", "scoopy doo", and "sheba weba". My little sister did the whole scoopy doo thing! LOL I am actually going to try and talk Ryan into getting a minpin when we get a dog! We always have my little Shebuzzers over...oh she answers to that too! LOLGia

Minpins are wonderful little dogs. You never have the expense of having to take them to a dog groomer, they love to cuddle (coz they're virtually hairless on their bellies and they get cold), and they're super watchdogs. They're smart as little foxes, too. :)If you're serious about getting a minpin, consider minpin rescue (I.M.P.S.). Here's the link to the Potential Home Questionnaire you can fill out and submit online:http://minpinrescue.org/home.htmlThere are some *wonderful* minpins out there just waiting for their "forever home". That home could be yours, Gia. I can tell you have a big heart. :)-- Nanaea

Yeah I just love adding more and more kids to my family...LOL I do miss my little shebuzzers! I would love to have a little minpin running around! I have a cat but we have to find him a home cause Ryan is allergic and it is so bad he cant even come home if he wants to breath! I guess I should of listened when he said he was allergic. But he thought he wasent this bad! Plus he loves dogs more then cats! My mother also has a german shepard that Ryan plays with! He like wrestles with the dog it is so funny! I did fill out the questioner!
