Meet Pepper!



Pepper is a 10 week old catahoula/labrador mix. She and her littermates were rescued from a high-kill shelter by Wright-Way Rescue, centered in Chicago. On April 3, my family and I drove 3 and a half hours to Chicago to adopt her.

After a full afternoon, night, and morning to go over all of the name suggestions I received and deliberate on them all with my family, I have decided on Pepper. Pepper was a name that I had been considering for a dog for a long time. It's kind of funny, because I have three other pets whose names start with a P. Pyro, Pandora and Precious - my geckos and my snake. Shadow's the only only that's out of the loop. xD

Speaking of Shadow, she's doing pretty well with the addition. She's a little unsure and a little stressed, and a little overwhelmed when Pepper is running around and plowing into things and trying to jump on her, but we're correcting that and right now they're both asleep in my room. x3

Anyway, since Pepper was a name that I was considering before any suggestions were made, I can't give anyone the 10 million for naming my dog (even though it was suggested by some, I honestly had already written it down on my list before making the contest.), so instead, I'm going to give 1 million to the first suggester of each name that went down on my semi-finalists list, and 2 million to the three finalists that we chose from, for a total of 3 million to the finalists.

The semi-finalist names were...
Moka, Pepper, Ashes, Shenzi - My family/me
Bandit, Patches - Shadowwolf96 - 1,000,000 TU sent!
Echo - Lolbot - 1,000,000 TU sent!
Maya - gothicshadow111 - 1,000,000 TU sent!
Chicago - Mugiwara - 1,000,000 TU sent!
Rascal - YumeKibo - 1,000,000 TU sent!
Hyena, Roulette - NoFear - 1 Million Barter Token sent!
Checkers - octavia22 - 1,000,000 TU sent!
Gypsy - prinxess - 1,000,000 TU sent!
Domino - prianamagix - 1,000,000 TU sent!
Jasmine - EasilyBroken - 1,000,000 TU sent!

And the finalists were...
Pepper, Shenzi - My family/me
Bandit - Shadowwolf96 - 2,000,000 TU sent!
Maya - gothicshadow111 - 1,000,000 TU sent twice! (Oops xD)
Jasmine - EasilyBroken - 2,000,000 TU sent!

I chose Pepper because it really fits her personality. She jumps around like a kangaroo and does these adorable sneezes. Not to mention her black and white coloring - I thought she looked brown by her picture, but now that I have her, she is definitely black, white, and grey. She might have a little brown in some places. She's so spunky and energetic, and she's learning so fast what she can and cannot chew on. xD I love her to bits.

Congratulations to the winners! Jasmine was very nearly picked, but I really loved Pepper and overrode my brother's vote. xD Pepper and I thank all of you for your help!

I actually like the name Moka, or even Mocha. I think it's a good fit. By the way, what a gorgeous puppy. ;o;

If I think of anything I'll be sure to post it. ^w^

Ooh, very awesome puppy Riyo!  She's absolutely beautiful!  Reminds me of the shadow hounds from Anne Bishop's books.

 So I would suggest Shadow or Huntress because those hounds were used in the Wild Hunt. ::chuckles::

 

Oh my, just looked closer at her face.  I think Harlequin would work for her as well!

I love Leopard Dogs, but they are pretty rare.

Anyways, lovely dog ;D She should have a good nature with other dogs, most puppies  leave their litter at 6-8 weeks, she'll have an extra two weeks to interact with her brothers and sisters.

As for names;

  • Cane (Ca-Ne Italian for 'dog')
  • Usha
  • Olive
  • Zori
  • Echo
  • Nina
  • Whiskey
Also, as a personal imput, dog names starting with the letter 'R' should be looked into. It gives a very nice, relaxing sound to the dog's name. It could be why the names 'Rex' and 'Rover' are so popular. I adore my own dog's name, Rudi, as it suits his personality. I also find interacting with the dog will help you find a good name, like people, dogs all have different personalities and as you have probably noticed, not everybody suits their names c:
