Barney issue

Well Barney is no more. Lori did like the name & she groomed a dog called Barney & she said it was a bit thin and so on. So every time she thought of Barney she thought of this dog. So after a long chat his name has changed and will stay. His new name is Elwood. Have we done the right thing ?

YES YES YES... if it doesn't feel right.. It's not right.

Plus, I LOVE this name ;)
I have a bad Barney name association too - so Elwood gets my vote!!
Now you need a 3rd dog and his name should be Jake. :)

I'd make it a transition.......BarneyElwood and then... BarneyElwood Then just Elwood. Lots of loving when he responds to Elwood and continue to use the name as you give loving. Whisper sweet Elwoods in his hear so he hears it often. He's young enough, he'll transition quickly.
LOL - and Todd said you need a Jake too!

I did the name transition with one of my foster OES to his new name - so by the time he went to them, the transition was done and he knew his NEW name! :)
Archie was Alfie when we got him, Archie just seemed so right to us though, so Archie it was (and is)
