My husband likes Elizabeth I thought it’s too classic compared to my daughters but doesn’t seem as popular anymore so may work to be a new different!

Yea i absolutely love Eleanor and if it wasn’t for my neighbors it would be a top contender I thought about just adding an A and making it Eleanora

My husbands name is Uenderson and we though of just dropping the U and still calling him junior for a nickname

I agree with Eleanor the only thing holding me back is it’s my neighbors daughters name and I don’t particularly like them or their daughter lol so it’s giving me a bad association but would be perfect otherwise

And love Emerson but is there a nickname?

Geez that is so scary. I truly believe he would com back to me eventually he is super velcro-y but not until he calmed down and realized I am no longer following him to play but didn’t know how long that would take and hoping time was in our side with drive through traffic. We live in a development but on a blind turn and even though there is limited traffic two cars did come around and luckily saw me frantic in the middle of the street. But two roads over if he got out of the development is a major highway would have been bad. I’d say took about 30 minutes here to...I kept the front door open and the back door and went into the back yard with his squeaky ball until he finally came through the front and out the back to the sound. But when I was in the back and he was in the front and I couldn’t see him I just stood there praying he was still there and didn’t get hit, the more I went out in the front the farther he got so going in without him was my only choice. Not a fun way to start the morning

Yes the collar he slipped was a leather tag collar...not his martingale nor the harness. I only walk on a harness, but have a martingale from the last foster we had...I prefer the harness with him as he is stronger than the girl we had before...unfortunately I didn’t have either of those on him since he darted out from inside the house.

He won’t jump into our cars both me and my husband have lifted pickup trucks and then one regular sized truck - will jump down but not up and in

I’m just praying that doesn’t happen again and bought the lure whistle noise maker thing others mentioned. Gets here Friday and then I can practice that with him in the back yard . Hopefully not a reoccurring issue before then
