Zeus and Reyna love the same toys! haha!
Favs: CUZ!!! (super annoying, but it's her fav by far) Dinobone (from monica... chews it EVERYDAY with gusto and has barely put a dent in it!) Mallard Duck (AKC brand I believe... same as Zeus! Had a Rotty on the package, and is really durable) Kong Wubba (couldn't care less about the regular kong) Rope (from Monica)
The louder and squeakier the BETTER! haha!

Dobermoms,
You are right. You just know when you have your name and it fits. It really helps to look into the meaning or definition of a word to help you in your journey of coming up with a name. Or in some cases, like yours, its an experience you had that helped you with your puppy's name.
I like challenges. I'm a driven individual when you give me a problem to solve.

Only about 19 more days till the P-litter babies are born. I'm so exceited! I can't wait to see their little faces.
Monica, I'm sure your not too thrilled about having 2 litters on the ground. On the other hand can the world really have too many babies? When you have time could you post the P names for me? That would be sweet to see some of the other P names others have come up with.

Monica do you enter all your puppies on DobeQuest? I submit my dogs and litters from time to time. I do it in my spare time. ;D

Jack must be an alien. LOL. He loved his puppy Kong, which is still around though it's now in two pieces, and he adores his big red Kong, perhaps because it's one of the special toys that doesn't live in his toybox. We attached a rope to it, and it comes out only for playing fetch on his off-lead runs.
Even as a puppy, he was Destructo Dog. Stuffed toys, Kong Wubbas, etc. lasted minutes. This is no exaggeration!
One of his most treasured toys is a Kong Genius (the blue one), which is also special because he gets it only when we settle in for an evening of TV. We stuff it with cooked liver strips, and getting at this keeps him happy and occupied for a loooong time. It's a tad messy because tiny bits of liver end up on the rug, but a quick run over it with the vacuum solves the problem. We figure that this is a fair exchange for the peace it buys us.
A quick note of caution about the Cuz toys, which Jack also enjoys. We cut off the feet before he chewed them off. Though he thankfully tends not to swallow bits and pieces of things he has chewed, we didn't want to take any chances when it became obvious that his first order of business was to chew the feet.

That's a good suggestion to cut off the Cuz feet. We did it too. Gino is a chewer and distroyer too

Wow I'm blessed that Zeus is such a gentleman with his Cuz toys compared to Diesel and Jack!
Zeus has 4-5 around here in various colors and they all still have the feet. He squeaks them and can catch the things like a Major League baseball player but even his 1st one that came from Monica as a puppy still has his feet!
Now Wubba Kongs that's a different story one bag of kibble and one Wubba Kong last about the same time. He breaks the small top hard ball then works on the canvas to get that out. Usually I cut it off and throw away the top. Then he works on the big ball and gets that out after a while and then I throw the streamers away and the big ball lasts maybe a few more weeks and then he breaks it and then it's trashed. He has usually about 4-5 wubba kongs in various states laying around the house.

We have a chiwawa too next door Tia, She's almost twice overweight and sounds like a bulldog whe she barks! Also a Mini Pin Kramer! EVERYTIME they come outside all they can think of is run over and bark looking for Zeus to give him hell! If our garage door is open they come charging into the garage barking and carrying on looking for Zeus! He seems ok with them though. He's put the run on them but doesn't seem to want to really get after them. I've seen Zeus and Kramer in the each of our backyards separated by the wood fence and they can see each other through the slats. Kramer carries on like a maniac and Zeus just watches with his tail wagging and I don't know how many times I've seen Zeus take a squirt on Kramer's head through the slats in the fence and Kramer just keeps coming back for more. Zeus is pleased to continue to give Kramer a "Golden Shower"

As we walk by, the beagle, named Tigger, runs the fence doing that annoying beagle "whaaaw, whaaaw, whaaaw." Jack's response? He just walks over to the fence and pees once on Tigger's head -- with amazing accuracy. Doesn't seem to faze Tigger, but nevertheless, Jack and I draw some satisfaction from it . . . especially as Tigger has been around for a while and used to do the same thing with our Big Old Fred. And Fred used to respond in exactly the same way as Jack. So I feel as if Jack is upholding some kind of karmic tradition.
