Hi @onmylonesome Frank seems very relaxed seeing you have only had him for a short time.

He has really settled in.

Frank's very much settled in @onmylonesome! He looks incredibly happy to be with you.

@Emilee Aloysius, my 3.2kg yorkie - when he came to me at 7 months old in Dec '17, he was called Bentley. That was changed sharpish as I don't name my dogs after a car and certainly not a Bentley which would be a constant reminder of my ex, perish the thought 🙄🤣😂. So I named him after St. Aloysius he was though, anything but saintly ha ha. He was a 'scrapper' until he had his wotsits well and truly took off 😬; sharpish in more ways than one ha ha. He's remained very possessive over toys and would scrap if he got the chance. He doesn't. I take no nonsense from people or pets 🤣😂 and should really be St Santosha 😇🤣🤣🤣. He knows which side his bread is buttered, but all with love and a firm, gentle hand, but always a lot of love to this 3kg scrap. Next.... Snicket 😅

@Emilee Snicket came to me at 8 weeks old in March 2016 after my soul dog, my yorkie Jack, passed away aged 15 then 4 days later my beautiful Matilda, my golden girl, unexpectedly aged 12.5 (attached). I still had Mr. Jones (my black shih tzu), then 11 years old, but he had a liver tumour and passed away at 12.5 years old. Snicket was named after Lemony Snicket's 'A series of unfortunate events' as he came following deep sadness. I didn't know then that a Snicket is a passageway between buildings, rather like a ginnel. Just glad he doesn't know that 🤣😂. He is perfect in every single way possible. He and Jonesy Bones were the very best of friends. He cries for Jonesys' cushion (which he'd passed on) and loves to cuddle it.

Finally @Emilee..... Scarperlina... I was going to get the boy from the litter (same parents of Snicket but a year later). My friend suggested Scarper for ''Nicket and Scarper'. 4 in the litter, 2 boys, one was stillborn and one couldn't feed as he had a cleft palate and only survived for a few days 😪. So I had both girlies as I didn't want to separate them. Natalie-Tiffany also didn’t walk until c 5 weeks old but would have brought her home anyway, but Scarperlina was named to feminise her name. She's called Eena for short and 'Alloweena' when being scary 🤣.

Her sister, Natalie-Tiffany, was named after Matilda my golden girl shih tzu who had been named after Matilda in the film 'Leon', played by Natalie Portman. Matilda my dog loved 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend' song by Marilyn Monroe especially when she sings 'Tiffany's' (jewellery) so Nat's double barrelled name was a nod to Matilda. When called, the tone used in 'Tiffany' is gently raised as in the song which she loves 🥰😍. Sometimes called Fat Nat for short (she's not but seems to like that 😅).

And that's the story of how they were named 😊.

@Emilee ... Now Jack who came to me from rescue at c 5 months old with his mum, Minnie, was named after Jack Dawson in Titanic who saved Rose DeWitt Bukater physically, mentally and emotionally and enjoyed nearly 15 years with me and we had an amazing life together. His mum i named Minnie as she reminded me of Minnie Cauldwell in Coronation Street, she was like an old lady even though very young 😊... bet you wish you'd not asked 🤣😂. I hope when the time feels right for you, you share your life with a fur baby. My experience has been so enriching for so many years and our bond has been like no other; totally unconditional, no judgement just pure love.
