My first dog, when I was under 10, was named Cindy, she was a beagle. My parents named her and did all the work, but could not train her.

MY dog is a male husky/shepherd/rottweiler/something smallish mix, smart as a whip, but clumsy as anything, medium size (about 60 pounds) named Tiberius.

Both for the T in James T Kirk and Tiberius Ceaser. We call him Tibby mostly, and I refer to him as Notorious T-I-B, Sir, and Tiberius J on occasion. We've had him since age 6 weeks, he is approaching 8. He has epilipsy (a seizure every 5-6 weeks with medication, every 3-4 days without), has poisoned himself on pool line antifreeze, run away overnight, dislocated his hip, and had some wacky infected lump on his side that needed removal, but the bastard won't die, which is good, because he is like our first child (best behaved so far, too)

When we get him a playmate (soon) I think I will name him Augustus, as in Augustus Ceaser, and I can call him Augie (Augie Doggie). I want another husky and/or German Shepherd mutt, that is mostly the husky and/or shepherd. They are smart, and fun, and great with the kids.
