Name my Mutt

Toby has a sister! Her name is Lola, and she is a mutt. But she is what a coworker christened a "pedigree mutt." We know what her ancestors were. So, what with the big mutt as designer dog craze, I believe that Lola's "breed" deserves as name.

Her mother was a jack-chi, meaning she was half Jack Russel Terrier and half Chihuahua.

Her father was a miniature Poodle.

What should I call Lola to confuse the people at the dog park?

Pictures to come. Lola is black, with long Poodle-y legs, floppy Poodle ears and a terrier face. So far, her hair is wavy, but that could change as she gets older.

Unlike her parents, Lola will be fixed as soon as she is old enough (just as Toby was). As Bob Barker would say, "Control the pet population, have your pet spayed or neutered."

Now, I'm off to the pet store to get Lola some of her own toys and food!
