OK Chaps - here's a list of all our family dogs names - and none of them appear beforehand.....
ALKO - Dobermann (1954-1962) - my parents first child
AXEL - Bull/Box/Dobermann -only child of the above and my childhood buddy (1962-1974)
PIGGLES -Boxer (? - 1975) Rescued in Ceylon
DIMPY - Spitz (?- 197?) Rescued in Ceylon and left with a friend out there
JASON - also known as JOCK - Boxer (1974-1986) First English dog
CARRIE - Pug (1974-1989) Rescued at about 2 yrs old
HORUS & PORUS - Pug children of the above (both lived to 17!)
REUBIN - Dobermann Rescued at 11th hour PTS. (1983-1991) My first dog. Took him to Crete with me in 1990 and sadly died young from enlarged heart (genetic) Swore I would have nothing to do with 'pure-breds' again.
DYLAN - (1991- ?) already mentioned but this one was named after BOB! Rescued in Crete as a tiny tiny puppy. Sadly stolen from our house (with food bowls & bedding)- probably because he was fat, friendly and didn't look like a Pavement Pooch!
CHUBBY-CHOPS - (1992-2006 - poisoned) Rescued in Crete left tied up in a plastic bag in a public rubbish bin. Vet reckoned she was less than 2 weeks old.
JASPER, JILES, JEMMA, JODY, JESSIE - accidental children of CHUBBY. (Greek vets did not believe in neutering then!) Kept JASPER as he reminded me of Reubin (1994-200? - Stolen also) Kept JODY as she had a hernia (1994-now)Successfully rehomed the others.
ALDOUS HUXLEY - Terrier (very much alive but now re-homed by Lynne)
TILLY-BUBBA - JRT - Huxley's Ex-wife. Also Known as TILLY-MOUSE, MINI-MOUSE and MIN-PIN
ROSSI - 1st born son of Hux & Tilly (named after Valentino)
MAXIMUS-PODICUS - 4th born son of H&T (translated from the latin for LONG LEGS - coz they are! - Also answers to MAXI-MOUSE.
There's a host of cats too - but I'll do those in another post.

Bearing in mind how much Paul O'Grady does for rescue dogs, perhaps we should use it!
