We have a new doggie and sister for Crumbles! She's a similar age and size, about 5 years and 82 lbs. She was saved from a Texas kill shelter by the fine folks at Oregon Dog Rescue and we adopted her today. It's going great so far except we need a name... Lines are now open for suggestions!!

Surprisingly Bacon was quickly voted down. Possibly a sacrilegious thing.

Funnily enough, Ginger was a short-term favorite from another source but I might have kinda vetoed it. Definitely a good name, don't get me wrong. But if just didn't feel right. However, given your "definitely" assertion I am prepared to reconsider. Ginger is in the proverbial back pocket.

I miss the name β€œTrudy.” I don’t know a single living Trudy any more (I had an Aunt Trudy, but she died in the mid-1960s).

Trudy is a solid choice. We have a Judy in our close lives that may cause objection but rhythmically I think Trudy works with Crumbles.

Thank you, thank you for all the suggestions. I entered each of them into the discussion with varying levels of traction. From another source "Hazel" has gained some acceptance and is probably the current favorite. But the race is far from over!

Also, in these awfully sketchy times, I want to let you ALL know how wonderful it feels to have an online family, who I can turn to for support, even if it's for something as trivial as a dog's name. I genuinely love that you are there and we have this "thing" together.

Since you already have Crumbles, I'd call her Violet, named for the iconic Australian honeycomb and chocolate bar.
