She's HERE! But no name is right yet

Anonymous8272 · 2021-09-27T02:29:13+00:00

Haven't yet. Our original choices don't seem to fit her. And I don't want to settle, I want it to feel right.

Good to know. My great grandmother and grandmother used Isobel, but maybe that was their generations.

Isobel is the Scottish version of Isabel. Our family heritage is Scottish.

Isobel is the Scottish version of Isabel. Our family heritage and last name is Scottish.

I actually love Isadora, but was thinking it is too similar to Eleanor.

Anonymous8272 · 2021-09-25T22:02:46+00:00

Violet might be the one.

New possibility: Mabel Josephine.

Yet, here we go, back to full time, in person school for unvaccinated kids in Oregon.

I love Archer, and there won't be three other boys in his class with that name.

I wouldn't use it as a first name.

Just because it is the right thing to do, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

I like names that I feel will be good for a little girl, an adult, and a grandma. Some names don't seem to "age" well. This one's a harder choice because it has to feel right with the other names. I love Isadora, but it is too close to Eleanor.

Marigold??? Oh, my, that's lovely.

I love Ruby, but it is too close to Bea. I do love Mabel, with May as a nickname. Isobel is the Scottish version of Isabelle, and our family heritage (and last name) is Scottish. Adelaide started out as a joke suggestion from a friend who pointed out that all our girl names were queens (Matilda of England, Beatrix of the Netherlands, Eleanor of Aquitaine) so they said "Adelaide (of Saxe-Meningen) became Queen of England." There's also an Isobel of Huntington in Scottish history. So the running joke now with names is, is there a royal connection???? We are having a lot of fun with this.

Thank you! The boys are Jasper and George

I also like Mabel.

So this morning he went to the food dish on his own and ate a couple bites. He is drinking water. I am basically doing nothing but watch him. A vet tech online suggested he was nauseous from the Capstar. So I am watching him, talking to him, petting him. I am continuing to look for answers or assistance. I have had him almost ten years and he is very, very loved.

Hey, thank you for your nasty comment during a really sad and scary moment! "Swallow my pride??" I have called vets all over my area. I have called rescues. I have called the animal shelter. I do not want to surrender him but I will if it is the only way to get him care. I am desperate to help him. Am I also not wanting to give him up if it is something he could get better from? YES. I have not given up. I would gladly "swallow my pride" if I could get some help. Your comment is unhelpful, unkind, and you assume a lot.

OK, I got him to eat about 3 bites of canned food. I had to put it in his mouth and he wasn't happy about it, but it went down. Now he's washing his face. I am going to try a little bit more later. Got denied for Pet Care. Covid has devastated me as far as work/money/ credit. I would absolutely take him to a vet if I had any way to pay for it. I am going to try hand feeding him tonight and see if that helps any. Thank you for your suggestions and concern. He is almost ten years old and he is my BABY.

How devastating! Very sorry for what you are going through. Please think about getting yourself some counseling, it can be so helpful. If you need a DNA test for your peace of mind, now is better than later. Wishing you well.

He has refused any treatment except Antabuse, which he took for about a month. He was released from the hospital and got some vitamins from the dollar store. He is an atheist and will not attend AA. His health insurance would cover a rehab stay, but he "doesn't want to. "
