I took the girls to visit my mom who runs the dog rescue and while I was determined that we weren't getting a new dog just yet, my daughters decided otherwise and we came home with a lovely Irish Terrier. I let the girls pick his name and you won't believe what they chose... Filet Mignon. Poor dog. I'm mortified everytime I have to call him. He certainly doesn't look like a Filet, so I call him chopped meat, or Meathead, and Meathead will probably be the name that sticks. He was on the kill list at the shelter, so the girls snuck him on the transport that was bringing 4 other dogs to my mom so he wouldn't be put down. He has an amazing temperment, loves the kids and is tons of fun. He and Scout adore each other too. They spent the entire night wrestling and running all over the house. What a shame it would have been for such a nice 8 month old dog to be put to sleep. |

He is adorable. Why in the world did the girls decide Filet Mignon was a good name for a dog? Maybe just call him Philly. Or Fil. |

I have no idea, but they could not be talked out of it and I agreed to let them choose. You think I would have learned after they named our cat Birdie Honey a few years ago. Their second choice for the dog was Biscuit, which I loved and lobbied hard for, but Filet Mignon it is. |

He is adorable - best of luck with him. I rescued a little guy last year who was taken from an abuse situation. There were 12 males that were rescued from a back yard breeder and each and every dog has issues with men. My little guy is so loving - it is ashame to think that he was abused for the first 3 years of his life. It is such a shame that so many of our furry friends are put to sleep daily. I am an advocate for neutering your animals. Puppy mills and back yard breeders should be stopped. I have a dear friend who heads up the SPCA where I live and it is unbelievable the number of animals that are abused, neglected and unfortunately put down in this country. She has said so many are just born to die. My hat is off to you for taking this precious little guy - if only we could do more to protect them. |

Look at the sparkle in his eyes! He is adorable!!! and how cute is that black and tan too My prediction is that little Phil-zee (that's what I call my BIL Phil) will find all sorts of adventures and mischief for the two of them Edited by MissBri, Mar 19 2009, 04:44 AM.

Congratulations on the adorable new pup! Whatever he ends up being called, he's a lucky little devil with two kids and another pup to play with, and a great home. Good for you, Witchy!!! |

Good on you, Witchy...and good on Filet Mignon! What a lucky, lucky puppy! The receptionist at Mr. Corey94's office is Mignon. Was weird at first, but now just seems perfectly normal. Biscuit, however, would have been normal from the beginning!!

That just made me laugh until I had tears in my eyes! Hilarious. I am one for naming pets after inanimate objects but I would have at least named him Porterhouse...you could then shorten it to Porter!

We had a summer intern last year named Mignon. She went by Emmie, though. |
