Apparently I’m a glutton for punishment. We got another girl, today. And now the most important McDad contest ever––
NAME MITCH’S NEW DOG
5000 McDad points for the winning entrant. Our new puppy is a 2 year old pug mix we met at the Dumb Friends League today. She was the one and only dog we met with and it was an instant match. Now, she needs a name, we can’t call her Puppy McDad now, can we?

She looks like a Mitzi McDad to me!
Posted by Phil on April 12, 2008 at 10:52 pm
She looks a “Gurt”
That’s the name of a benevolent phantom black dog that haunts the Quantock Hills in English folklore.

This is easy.
Lilly, Lulu and LOLA!!

She’s quite a good looking bitch. It’s rather hard to come up a name when I don’t know much about her.
So…hmmm…the girls like princesses and she’s black. How about Princess Licorice McDad?
Posted by Dan on April 13, 2008 at 8:52 am
My favorite name for a pet is “Rabies”
Posted by Heather on April 13, 2008 at 11:24 am
My daughter named her webkinz puppy Princess Tiera. Sounds good to me.
Posted by Cindy on April 13, 2008 at 11:56 am
She looks like a Gigi to me. Good luck with your new addition.
Posted by Ivy Brown on April 13, 2008 at 2:27 pm
She looks like a Hazel to me. Can’t figure out why.
Posted by Mitch McDad on April 13, 2008 at 3:11 pm
My vote is Bruno. I don’t think I’m going to win.
Posted by Angie in Texas on April 13, 2008 at 5:27 pm
i like maude, too.
(reminds me of julianne moore in the big lebowski when she’s all “hello, mr. lebowski . . . does the word ‘vag*na’ bother you? Some men . . .” that’s one of those classic scenes.)
Posted by nukedad on April 13, 2008 at 5:49 pm
How about “McMutt”
Posted by Tyler @ Building Camelot on April 13, 2008 at 7:00 pm
I’ve always wanted to name a dog “Damn-it” …you’re probably going to call her that anyway
Posted by Childsplayx2 on April 13, 2008 at 8:17 pm
Bitch McDad has a nice ring to it.
or
Stupid (like the dog in The Jerk)
or
Google
or
Bloggie
or
Ms. Elway (Denver nod)

She’s definitely a :
Sadie McDad
Chloe McDad
Annie McDad
Bella McDad
Posted by Lilly McDad on April 14, 2008 at 11:59 am
DADDY! I ALREADY TOLD YOU I WANT TO NAME THE DOG, BELLA!!!!!!
STOP THIS RIDICULOUS CONTEST.
Posted by Lulu McDad on April 14, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Nice try Lil….too bad her name is going to be Tallulah. Da.
Daddy’s so stupid. He’s still trying to push “Bruno.” What a tool.
Posted by Mitch McDad on April 14, 2008 at 12:22 pm
My niece had the following entries: Chocolate, Sugarplum, Sweetie, Blackie.
I don’t think she’s eligible to receive McDad points. I’m pretty sure no employees of MMW Global Enterprises or family members are allowed to win points. I’ll have to check with our attorneys.

Dude!
Posted by Ed (zoesdad) on April 14, 2008 at 4:36 pm
No, really. Both girls have names picked out and you are soliciting strangers??!! I bet you leave the seat up, too don’t you?
How about a compromise—Bellulah.
Posted by above average joe on April 14, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Mugsy. All pugs/terriers look like a Mugsy.
Posted by Jeff on April 15, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Well, you already have a Lilly and Lulu, so why not go with Layla? Besides, that’s one of my favorite songs (the acoustic version that is).
Posted by Aimee Greeblemonkey on April 15, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Just last night, Bryan decided that our next dog will be named Oruga, which is Caterpillar in Spanish.
But you can have it if you want it.
Posted by SWC on April 15, 2008 at 5:40 pm
I’d go with Matilda. I don’t know why. Maybe because that was my stocky, German great-grandmothers’ name and this dog has a mug just like her.
Posted by devra on April 15, 2008 at 5:52 pm
How about Devra? : )
Posted by Catherine on April 15, 2008 at 7:39 pm
I like Ruthie. And Lolita. Look at those come hither eyes! Oh, she is SUCH a Lolita.
Posted by yellojkt on April 15, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Shadow. The perfect name for a black dog.
Posted by LiteralDan on April 15, 2008 at 10:12 pm
I have a feeling the other women in the house may win this contest, if they haven’t already, but I’ll throw in “Mickey”
Not in love with it, but it’s the first thing I thought of.
I think Bitch McDad has to be her unofficial name, though, hands down.
Posted by Joe on April 15, 2008 at 10:50 pm
I win!
New dogs name = Miller Lite McDad
You will need a ML being outnumbered by that kind of differential. Word.
Posted by JayMonster on April 16, 2008 at 6:13 am
It would just be so much easier if you named her “little shit” so you wouldn’t need two names. But I supposed the kids won’t be so thrilled with that one, but I am certain you will be calling her “little shit” soon enough.
The little shit always needs to go out at the most inconvenient times.
The little shit just had an accident on the rug.
I just tripped over that little shit and spilled my beer.
Trust me… it is coming
Posted by Redneck Mommy on April 16, 2008 at 11:49 am
Damn she is cute.
I love her.
But she totally looks like a Bernice to me.
Posted by gail on April 16, 2008 at 1:39 pm
At first glance I thought she had a little blue leather scotty dog tag on her collar and instantly ‘Radley’ came to mind.
Or Poog Mc Dad – sounds very scottish that!
Posted by Whit on April 17, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Atticus wanted to name his puppy “Dog Food.” That’s how we wound up with “Love.” When he made the second suggestion I grabbed it.
I know your contest is over, but did you even consider The Mitch Bitch?
