So,I've been working on the homestead fencing project, to increase the size of land the dog - and future dog - can run freely in. And I have a history of going off half COCKED in the past, so despite seeing a bunch of dogs I would have loved to get, I have resolved myself to 100% completion of the project before I get another canine. I'm about 70% done. Need to make and hang a few gates, and do some porch improvements. Hadn't even looked at the "awe its a puppy" websites lately, as all the ones I like get grabbed up (which is better than euthanized, I suppose) My wife pointed this out last night, so in an attempt to humor her and the kid, I did a quick search for dogs in the area. What, pray tell, are the chances of this: POSSUM seriously. Who the hell names a (supposed) heeler/shepherd mix "Possum"? For that matter, who names anything other than the lowest form of life on earth, "Possum" awwwwwww, its a puppy...

What will the neighbors think when they hear me calling out "POSSUM!" in the middle of the night, and they don't hear a shotgun blast?

You could always rename the dog "Grinner"...

Our pups have been gone for a little over a month and I still miss them.
We get almost daily updates on the one my wife's cousin took. He's 3 months old and 26 pounds. He's increased in weight from birth by a factor of 34.

I think you should take the pup back and get a cute one.

Saw the title of this thread and thought, "Yeah, every time my wife speaks."
With regard to dog names, friend of mine once had a dog named "Lethal" who was anything but.

no one ever really needed 'a reason' for getting a pup.

I had one named possum once. We rescued her from being abandoned on the road. She had mange at the time and it left her rather long snout hairless and scared, so she looked like a possum.
