All names are cute and meaningful. We had Rodman for 18 years, guess what Bull that came from. Our newest rescue is Misty. She is a Mountian Cur. She is a hunter and tracker. No squirls in our back yard. They got the word out to stay out.

Lots of TV character names in the comments. We've got Flipper, Marge, Chuck, Odie, Dexter, Sookie, and Blago. (Blago is definitely a TV character.)

My dog is named Cooper (named for the Baseball HOF in Cooperstown). He's the black lab with the red bandana. I've also had a yellow lab named Riley.

Our dog's name is Gracie. The consensus is that she's part beagle, part shepherd and the rest of her is anyone's guess.
