WiccanLove Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I am thinking that it's time for Tyr to have a friend. I have been peeking on petfinder and have found many many choices. I can't decide, sooo.. I was thinking, maybe, can I have them ALL?!?!?! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Yeah, I was thinkin when she first mentioned it that "hey, doesn't DP have a dog named Tyr??" :hmmmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogPaddle Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 :thinkerg: Spooky! Tyr is not a common doggie name. In fact Tyr is a norse god of justice who got his hand bit off my a doggie (wolf actully, that's why its extra funny because my Tyr looks sorta wolfish.) Anywho more coincidences here than that :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bk_blue Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 DP/WL- how do you pronounce Tyr? I've meant to ask for a while now. :oops: The publican where our band used to play had a Rotty puppy called Tier (pronounced tee-air) which meant "beast" in German. He was the most ADORABLE little thing, we used to go upstairs in our breaks and play with him! :angel: So it is pronounced anything like that?

DogPaddle Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I pronounce Tyr - teer :niewiem: , wonder how WiccanLove pronounces Try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I WOULD HAVE SAID IT WAS TYRE AS IN CAR-TYRE :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogPaddle Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Hmmm Tyre . . . I don't think I could adjust to calling him that, but it could be the correct pronounciation, after all I don't speak . . . Norse???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogPaddle Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I guess it would be nordic, I found this on a website. Old Norse language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Old Norse was the Germanic language once spoken by the inhabitants of the Nordic countries (for instance during the Viking Age). Its modern descendants are the West Scandinavian languages of Icelandic, Norwegian, Faroese and the extinct Norn language of the Orkney and the Shetland Islands as well as the East Scandinavian languages of Swedish and Danish. Norwegian was later heavily influenced by East Scandinavian. Don't we have someone from this region here, they may be able to clarify on how it might be pronounced?

luckychaos Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 My neighbours have a golden retriever named Tyr....they also pronounce it teer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Wow, seems like a much more popular name then we thought! :o Yeah Mouse, I've been pronouncing it the same :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogPaddle Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I guess so, I've never met a dog named Tyr but it dosn't seem so rare after all. What about Zaphod Beeblebrox and Kavik, they can't be that common of names . . . can they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtnek Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 hee hee! I wonder if anyone else has a dog named "Freebee"? All of my dogs, except Alex, have had unusual names (I didnt name Alex...) Taurus (GR, named for his birthday) Rasillon (called Raz, irish wolfhound mix, name came from Dr. Who) Jarvis (border collie/Malamute mix - named because his black and white coat was so laid out that he looked like a butler) Freebee (so named because they were trying to sell her as a "purebred" German Shepherd, she's a lab mix, and when I pointed that out they let me take her for free) Alex - I didnt name him and (the cat) Saavik (from Star Trek. Turned out he was a male. The poeple I got him from didnt know that apparently and told me he was a she. However, he will only answer to "Pushy" or "Pushycat"....he too, was a rescue. I "named" him before I got him as a kitten) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMaya Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Cool name! I adopted Jackie in February 2002, and decided that she needed a sister, so I adopted Maya in October 2002. They fell asleep on the same sofa the first night, and have been best friends ever since! I found both of them on Petfinder too. It's kind of like internet dating. I saw their pictures and fell in love! Here's a collage of Jackie and Maya's very first day together.

luckychaos Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I think unusual names are cool. Lucky's would have been more unusual but I was 8 at the time. And Chaos was already named by the animal control and it totally fits her personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk_blue Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I haven't met a dog with the name Blitzkrieg yet! :) I bet there are some out there, somewhere... to start a support group... :drinking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crested Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 bk: I wouldn't name a dog anything that has the word "krieg" in it. It means war. /Crest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk_blue Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I know what it means- but it is also the name of a wine club my dad and a few of his friends created, and that's what bk was named after. "Lightning attack/war" also suits his personality- especially when he used to divebomb Rinny. My uncle was going to do something with the internet (dunno what exactly) so that every time some neo-Nazi web surfer looked up Blitzkrieg, they would get my dog. LOL.

WiccanLove Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 IM BAAAACK!! Here comes trouble! OK, I pronounce Tyr as you would tear but with more of an I sound at the end. Sort of like tire and tear mixed together to make the sound Tyr. It is hard to explain, if only I had a way to have you hear me say it, that'd be nice!
