My ersatz Labrador, also known as a coconut retriever (he came back from the Caribbean with us) was called Bubu. It was derived from Tabu Impia, which means "another trouble" in Swahili. My children struggled with the Tabu, and it came out Bubu and it stuck. Although as is always the way with pets it was truncated even further to just Bu (Boo). He was an absolutely cracking dog. When he was three months old he attacked a burglar all by himself. The burglar had puppy needle marks in his ankle as he tried to climb out of a window. The police caught him the next day as he tried to get his bleeding ankles treated in the local hospital. 🤣 🤣 Bu also saw off a stray dog that came into my house and was trying to see into my baby's cot (I was in the bath and could see this in the mirror - unfortunately I was nursing a C-section and couldn't scramble out of the bath very fast at all). This huge black and white shenzi job had put its paws on the edge of the cot and was sniffing. Bu came out of nowhere at a flat out, baying gallop and charged the intruder, head down and straight into the dog's side. The intruder was flipped in the air, scrabbled to its feet and raced out of the door, Bu in hot pursuit.

So, BooBoos, or Bubus, can be heroes, too.
That’s absolutely amazing!!

One of my cats is Doo Doo!
And I had a Boo cat
I also seem to have changed Odes the Weim's name to Ooh

So unsurprisingly shouting BooBoo probably wouldn't bother me......unless it meant something terrible in French!
Gorgeous floofy pup btw. Make sure his poos are ok as i'm seeing more and more rescues having giardia

I like Boo-Boo! Words/names can have more than one meaning, if he's named after Boo-Boo bear, that's the meaning of the name.

I recently learnt that the name Narina, which in Arabic/Persian means a fruitful gift, fresh, pomegranate flower, also in Portuguese is the word for nostril.
Not to mention that almost 8000 Swedish women goes by the name Fanny...

Whatever name you decide to give him, he's adorable! 😍

Love it, my cousin's goldendoodle is Baloo.

How about just plain old Bear? Or do you already have a Bear?

Boo boo is going to sound like you've named him because he's a mistake-I made a boo boo usually means you made a mistake. Plus you're going to sound like a mad person shouting that!
Do like Baloo! Loved the film tho too

A rescue near me were surrendered six 4 month old Samoyeds. I have no idea how someone can’t sell Samoyed pups!
Their coats are in bad condition I went to see them Sunday and I will be taking one home Sunday coming 🙈
OH wants to name him BooBoo after the other bear..I think I’m going to sound ridiculous calling that out at night 😂
not as bad as my friend's rescue who is a cocker spaniel called.....cocker!

out shouting "come on cock!" made them change it to conker!!

I’ve given him a bath and a good groom but I’m worried he will have to be partially shaved there is some severe matting in his undercoat
I’m giving him a break and I’ll do another round of brushing later
Groomer taking him ASAP but unfortunately not til the 2nd
She’s doing her best tho and I really appreciate it as she can be booked a month in advance

Fingers crossed she’ll be able to blow the worst of the coat out.

I’ve cut a few bad mats off and he’s looking much better
Not perfect but groomer should be able to work her magic on him 🙏🏻❤️
