Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsA totally new name for a dog if ever I might have another (doubtful) : Stella
Names, of all the dogs I've had before, the dogs of my life:
Females: Patty (or Paddy) - I was 4 years old, didn't know; Cocker. Molly (pseudo Llasa Apso). Mona (Mona-1, chihuahua, old, adopted from pound, ran away). Mona (Mona-2, chihuahua, still with me from puppy).
Males: Hotspur (from SHAKESPEARE; Cocker). Bandit (Llasa Apso). Chewy (son of Molly & Bandit). Sancho Panza (mini-dachsund; named for Don Quixote's sidekick). Lucky (fuzzy, bigger than yorkie, totally ADORABLE).
So, surely no more at my age. But "Stella" is grabbing me as a name.

(23,314 posts)after the first dog in space, 1957. "Laika" is the Russian word for "barker", as I understand it. Arthur C. Clarke wrote a story called "Dog Star" about a scientist who owned (or was owned by, depending on how you look at it) a dog named Laika, which saved his life twice by barking--the second time, after the dog had died (you have to read the story to understand that....)
But I'm liking "Stella," too, now that you bring it up!

There will hopefully be a Stella in the future.
