Heather Ottawa (Canada), International 5/13/2013 6:45:43 PM Our English Springer Spaniel came to us aged 3 from the local Humane society; his given name was Kippa. I did not know what significance this name had, but he was a fascinating mixture of crazy run-all-day energy, with incredible focus (especially for balls and food) yet VERY laid-back especially with other dogs (he would ignore all of them) as if he was way above them in social class! So, he quickly obtained the name Mr. (Alexander) Kipnis (after the famous Russian baritone). Our Mr. Kipnis soon proved to be something of an escape artist (in spite of our newly-installed fencing); he then became 'Houndini' (or sometimes, 'Houndini Spozzolini'--due to his ticked coat). As well, he developed quite a taste for discarded paper products around the house, which meant trying to stay one step ahead of his cleverness in getting into bathroom rubbish bins...as a result, he has acquired yet another name: 'Osama Bin Raider'!! He is now 10 years old; mellowing only slightly so far--but our Mr. Kipnis happens to be an outstanding Flyball dog ("2011 Fastest U-Fli English Springer Spaniel--Recognized as a Breed Ambassador") so we love him to pieces no matter what we call him on any given occasion (depending on what he's been up to!)

Dawn - 253348 6/14/2012 7:30:53 PM I have had 2 dogs in my 36 years, Cutie Pie White, I got after my brothers dog gave birth to a liter when I was 7. She lived 15 years and was a Terri-poo, she died from heart failure and kidney failure. In 2000, I got "Figgy" (for short) when he was around 1, he weighed 1/2 what he does now but had lost his baby teeth. He also is a Terri-poo, with a curly wirehaired coat. He has dreadlocks on top of his head that stick straight up, His full name is Figaro Chip Newton White, my friends called him "Fig" so we added in Newton, I was going to name him "Toby Chip" after the basset in the Great Mouse Detective and Chip after the tea-cup in Beauty and the Beast, but he had a collar on when they brought him into the pound that said Figaro, So I stuck with it and Figgy really fits him being spunky and full fo energy.
