Okay. I am finally taking the plunge and getting another dog. Like Happy, he will be a Lhasa Apso.
(See pictures below.)

I'm sure everyone will be amused at this, but I will be flying to Albany sometime around Memorial Day. (Yes, I am buying a dog in New York, and flying both ways so he doesn't have to fly cargo or make an 1100 mile drive at 15 weeks old.) What can I say? [duh]

However, I haven't decided on a permanent name yet. His kennel name is okay, but just doesn't have the right feel. And for some reason I can't call him Happy II or similar.

So I'm asking from suggestions from friends all over. If you get the winning name, I will buy (or fund) you two six-packs of your choice (or for nonbeer drinkers, a good bottle of non-French wine) (I'm too cheap to buy French wine; no bottle's of Charles Woodson's wine allowed either, for same reason). (And I promise not to do a Jermichael Findley either, though I might have to be educated how to send alcoholic beverages over state/country lines).)

So far, the candidates are, in no particular order:
Storm (his kennel name)
Micro (for "microeconomics", my kind of economics)
Edward Warren (for two of my college professors)
Eddie the K (for one of those two professors and my biggest mentor)
Elmer "Pete" (for my dad)
Elmer Arthur (for my dad and brother)
Adam Smith (for famous dead economist)
Ben or Bernard (for Ben Bernanke, from someone who obviously doesn't know my opinions on monetary policy)
Karl (for another dead economist, from someone who does)
Gus

Any suggestions. Again, pictures are below if you need inspiration.

Looks like a Zombieslayer to me. ;)

Teddy would be fitting too.

That works for MACRO. [grin1]

If you had two they could be supply and demand.

How do you feel about Jevons?

"WoN" for Wealth of Nations.

or Teddyslayer. He is hell on stuffed animals.

Are you sure that dog isn't a stuffed animal and the New Yorker isn't pulling a fast one on Wade?








I jest. Very cute dog. I want to see that doggie in real life. 🖐
I'm happy for you Wade that you're finally getting a new dog. It's long overdue.

Something that cute should be named Dakota or Troy.

Julie says name him Pookie.

I say name him Gizmo - the good Gremlin.

---

Pookie actually is really good. I'm not giving you an applause point though. Julie will have to create an account so I can applause her.

And you're not cute. [puke] :-& 👎

I was going to mention at sometime that my last pup was named Dakota. She was a great dog.

If he is named Troy he will need glasses and all the other dogs will laugh at him and not let him play in their doggie games.
