I finally remembered to bring in a couple of dog name books and found
that I'd lost the post about dog names that begin with B.  I don't
remember if the dog is male/female, the color, or the breed.  So I'll 
just post what I have and hopefully something will be useful.  We had 
a terrible time naming our second dog, hence my investment in the books 
and desire to help....
