Yes, boys and girls! Six more weeks and my little bundle of joy arrives!
I can hardly wait! I'm so happy, I could  up and down!
Of course, while I'm killing myself getting the nursery all ready, the mother just lies around all day being a real b*t*h about the whole thing! Ah! Whatya gonna do?
I'm pretty sure I have everything a growing boy needs. Let's see: IAMS and chew toys and water bowl and food dish and heartworm pills. Did I forget anything?
Ok!Ok! Geez! Don't be so species-prejudiced!
Just because my baby happens to be a Boston Terrier! Hey, a baby is a baby, Right? 
So....it's time for the:
NAME TOM'S BABY CONTEST!
I'm leaning towards RALPH, but my son says I'm a goof-ball for naming a (dare I whisper it...DOG) Ralph!
So.. I turn to you kind friends for suggestions!
My new "boy" and I say Woof!

LOL tomwiii!
You are a good writer...You had me thinking that you were having a baby!
Now, it's a puppy?
That's almost as much trouble as a baby and no wonder that your wife is being a real b-i-t-c-h about the whole thing.
There will be toilet training and formula and vet bills a mile long and ruined furniture and carpets...LOL
Good Luck with a name. I had a dog that I named "Trouble" and that was very appropriate.

Mr. T.
Like I know dog names. Had our dog a week, and she's still puppy and dog and sometimes, well, pesty.

LOL!

Mr T
I am so happy that you are having a dog.
Today, I was reading about cats who jump on kitchen counters and it was so gross....I may have nightmares about that.
Good luck with Ralph. Give him a long leash and a hug every day!

Mr. T is my name suggestion for tomwii's dog. Ms. T for a girl pup, bub it doesn't have quite the same woof.
Congrats, tomwii!
Of course, there's always Boston the Fairly Flatulent.

Snowegret
"Or Boston the Fairest flatulence ?"
A pompous, prissy terrior? NO WAY!
Good grief, Snowegret. With that name he will grow up feeling effeminate and not able to handle cats.
Ralph is his name...a rough and tough masculine animal.
This dog's name is Ralph!

I was also considering the following choices:
Nomar
Fenway
Longfellow
S***Head
Joe
Rover (Whoops! Can't endorse the competition!)
Plus, if I named him Rover, I'd end up changing his name every two months!

Well, Mr.T
It sounds like you are a baseball fan.
The dog is only an occasional ball player.
Forget that nonsense.
The dog's name is Ralph.
Helen
BTW...s-h-i-t head???
What's up with that?
I'm beginning to wonder about your ability to name a dog. HaHaHa!

There was some movie, & I can't remember for the life of me, where the hero named his doggy...
Looks like Ralph is heavily favored!
I'm really nuts about DOGS!
Cats, OTOH, I feel are the evil presence of the DARK ONE, the GOAT with the 666 tattoo -- either that or they're a bunch of pretzel-phobic Republicans!

Ralph is what cats do all over the floor and sofa. (And kitchen counters if they haven't been trained to fear a squirtgun.)

"Ralph the Terrorist"?
Many years ago I heard of a tiny dog (I forget the breed) named Lester the Terrible. I've been saving that all these years in case I ever get a tiny dog.

roadsmith,
Why was Lester terrible?

I'm pretty sure Lester wasn't terrible! His owner just liked the name Lester, and it was funny to take "The Terrible" onto a teeny dog.

How about "Beans"...as in Boston Baked?!?!
I thought it was cute...I'll crawl back into my hole now.
Actually, before I do...speaking of cats. My nit-wit cat had major delusions of grandeur this weekend. While we were bringing in the groceries Saturday night she came out onto the stoop to poke around. My neighbor walked by with her HUGE German Shephard. Would you believe my nut ball cat tried to go after the dog that weighs about 10X more than she does. Fortunately, my "HEY" startled her enough that I could grab her and corral her back into the house before the dog could make an appetizer out of her. Whaccko!!!

Give regal names to noble beasts. Save the sappy crap for cats.

How about place names? Is there anywhere in the world you really want to go to? That can make a good pet name. My sister had a cat named Tazmania (Taz for short) and I had one names Sydney. Had a ferret named Quasimodo too, but he was really high strung and the name fit. Just throwing out a few more ideas.

Regal names don't always work. I had a friend with a regal name. Now I call her Saddlebags.
Aslandtrader, I looked up Google Images and found this picture of a dog named Quasimodo. LoL
