I just now got an emergency phone call and, as a result, in a few hours I may be picking up an 8-month-old, male miniature pinscher pup. If this pup doesn't already have a name that he answers to (and I don't know if he has), then I need to come up with a good name for him. Especially if I decide to keep him, and not merely foster him as part of my volunteer work for breed rescue.
His coloring (in breeder's terminology) is "red stag" (which is a deep, mahogany reddish-brown). I've already considered, and discarded, the names: "Jasper", "Garnet", and "Rufus".
Anyone who comes up with a really inspired and appropriate name -- preferably suggestive of the color "red" (my other six minpins are all black in color) -- will win The "Name the Minpin" Contest.
What will you win, you may very well ask? My respect -- which is of inestimable value. Plus a bonus prize of one free curse placed on the head of anyone who gives you crap. :)
