New Puppy

Here are pics of our new puppy. We are having trouble choosing a name so we are looking for any suggestions. No one knows what he is a mix of, possibly black lab (judging from his litter mates) and some sort of terrier judging by his face. The hardware store next to our store had a customer bring in 8 puppies. Two that look like the one that choose us and 6 pure black. This one climbed in my lap and kept coming back no matter how much I put him down to pick up his siblings. Andy brought him home while I went pick up the kids so that we could surprise them. When we got home he said "he already peed and pooped on the floor". However, we fed him and gave him water and 20 minutes later he went to the back door and whined. I let him out and after a couple of minutes he came back to the door. I went out with him and gave him a treat at his "bathroom spot" (or where I'd like it to be). He ate the treat up and as we were walking towards the house I noticed that he had chosen a different "bathroom spot". Good dog! We brought him inside and he slept for a while, got up drank some water, and went to the back door. We took him out and off he went. Potty outside again. Just goes to show you that with a little work he'll be housetrained in no time. (I hope!) So any suggestions as to a name? "Buddy" and "Baby" are two different things we've called him so far to try and get his attention. Nothing sticking yet. PLEASE NO MAX!!! Long horrible story if you don't know!





PS Here is a pic I just took of Alexis to compare to last week's pic.
