My dog's name is Astro, and there's a really long story behind her name:)
First of all I wished to be an astronomer as a kid. Watched at the night sky, and dreamed to know all and everything about what's out there. My dream didn't come true, but my interest to stars and space stayed with me when I grew up too.
Here's me sweety. When we made a decision to adopt a dog we thought a lot about the name, but could not decide. Even at the moment when we already went to pick her up - no ideas.
And then I saw my sweety for the first time. And understood at that very moment that she really is a little star. We me and my hubby) are fans of the Big Band theory, and we began thinking... OK, Raj, Cinnamon, astrophysics... Wait, that's it! Astrophysics:) Astro? Yes, she's Astro, for sure:)
By the way I' really that close with my dog as he is:) And from the first day she appeared in our family she aced like a little star for us - supporting, bringing light and joy to our home.
Yes, I'm totally in love with my dog:)
Astro is adorable! How can you not fall in love with a face like that? Great story too. Thanks for the photo; I really do enjoy looking at her! :)
<3
I love this contest by the way =)
Here is my sweet, wonderful baby girl Chiara in our Paris apartment during winter 2007, with my mom. She was a pedigree shih tzu. While "Chiara" is an Italian name meaning "light", our Angel was Brasilian & already had been given her name when she became part of our family in São Paulo, Brasil. She was so little & didn't really know her name yet, so we could have changed it, but decided that it suited her so perfectly already. We simply added, "da Lua" to her full name, so in Italian & Portuguese together her name meant "Light of the Moon".
She was completely charming & adorable with ever-growing soft fur. She would often prance when walking, just on instinct. She was incredibly quiet, not barking at all until she was already a year or 2 old, & then she'd only bark at something a handful of times across her entire life. But she would love to growl loudly & "ferociously" while playing with us! Her favorite toys to guard & declare, "that's MINE!" over were her baby blankets XD She would love to be bounced & massaged, followed my dad the pack leader like she was his shadow, & completely on her own instinct, would always guard my parents (especially my mom) by facing away from them in the doorway of whichever room they'd be in; if we were outdoors she'd do the same, facing away about 6 feet in front of wherever we were sitting so she could be the first to assess anyone coming toward us. She loved making people friends much more than doggy friends, of which she just had a few, because she was so dainty & would be turned off by hyper-energy dogs wanting to meet her. She wanted to keep things as chill & sweet as she was^^
Our Angel passed away just this past December 5th. In 2 more days, she would've been exactly 15 years & 1 one month old. I miss her greatly every day like my other past pets, of which she was the youngest. Our kitty Omrey (animal soulmate of my life), & 2 of our originally 5 guinea pig siblings (Sweetheart & Patch), along with Chiara, moved from country to country with my family & me, remaining completely loving to us despite the stress they endured on each move. We gave them as much love & cuddles as we could always, especially during these moves where we felt guilt over causing them airplane stress. We were so blessed to have had the piggies for 6 years (both passed away in 2005), Omrey for 19 years (passed away August 2015), & Chiara for 15 years. It feels very strange now that for the first time in 21 years, my family & I no longer have a pet. Animals are the light of my life & I'm so happy many people feel the same way. When I am ready again & have more of my life together, I very much look forward to adopting another angel<3^^
Rest in Peace Chiara, you are now my Angel in 2 ways =')
What a beautiful story; thank you for sharing. Chiara da Lua is a beautiful name for your beautiful dog, inside and out. I am so sorry for your loss. Your pets have lived long lives and I know they were loved dearly. Yes, when you are ready, the one that you choose or the one that chooses you, will be very lucky. I have had pets since the day I was born and can't imagine my life without them. Thanks for the compliment on my contest. Good Luck! :)
My dog's name is Killer. He's a 12 lb. Shitzu who hangs out with and holds his own against a 120lb. and 70lb. pitbull.
CUTE!!!!!
OMG! Killer looks like he is giving the big guys "the look." The other dogs are massive. Thanks for the photo! :)
He's the boss. The other 2 are rescues. Since nothing bad has ever happened to killer he is fearless.
The name of my dog is Whitey because he has white fur. My boyfriend plays with him every day after he comes from work. :)
Aw, so cute. Looks like a terrier. I bet he loves your boyfriend! Thanks so much for the photo! :)
Her name is Cubby! Because she looks like a little bear! Growl! She is 3 lbs of love,
Love and Peace
Melissa
Cubby is so cute. 3 pounds? Tiny little thing. Thanks for the photo! :)
Aww! Her's so fierce! <3
Actually she was bit by a water moccasin when she was about a year and a half and she made it praise God!
And last week she got bit by a wasp. She jumps in the grass so all of the predators must think she is a rabbit. Bait for everything! She is a little tiger!
Upvoted.
My dog's name Chocolate because the fur color is black.
Oh, so that must be dark chocolate. :)

I have Stafford terier and his name is Chico. It is from the movie next friday. I know that in the move the dog was bullterier and that was the dog a got before. Hes name was Thor.
I like both of this names. :)
I do not currently have a dog but before he passed away I had a dog called "Walker" because at the time I was a big fan of the TV show Walker Texas Ranger.
My mom was a big fan of that show. Sorry to hear about Walker.
