What should I name my black & tan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?
I adopted my first dog over the weekend who was rescued from a puppy mill and he needs a name! I am completely drawing blanks and can’t think of anything to call him . Cavaliers who are of the black & tan variety are a glossy Jet Black with rich chestnut markings on the sides of face, feet, under ears, under tail, and eyebrows…they are essentially the same color is a Rottweiler. He is on the small side, quiet, and very very cute!
Please no human names!!!! I am trying to think of a name that is not so common and one that compliments his color or some sort of geographic name, like Russia or Yukon. I’m thinking cold whether countries or regions. if anyone has any good ideas please let me know! Also if anyone knows some cute names in either German or Russian for a dog of this description please let me know! I know bear in Russian is Mishcka, love the name but it’s more for a girl. Thanks!!!
Names I sort of like:
Lava
Kashmir (Cashmere but spelled this way)
Hershey
&
Tanqueray
I like Adrik it means dark in Russian and it goes with your dog because he is dark coloured .
Or Zivon that means alive
Anzor meaning Free .
Marcello – Little Warrior
Ajax
Rosco
Good Luck what ever you name him . 
2012 Magnetic Pole Reversal?
The facts that I have learned about our planet and solar system as a result of 2012 are way beyond what I bargained for. For example, a magnetic pole reversal is simply the switching out of North and South Poles while a POLE SHIFT is a movement in the molten lava core of our planet that actually shifts the earth’s axis of rotation. And armed with that information I doubt I could get anyone to engage me in conversation over a cup of coffee.
Let me move into what appears to me to be a little bit of a DOUBLE JEOPARDY regarding 2012 and all of this.
There are two things that we’ve come to validate. A magnetic pole reversal happens first of all when there has been a sustained reduction in the earth’s magnetic strength. And guess what? We’re seeing that happen. Just over the last 150 years the earth’s magnetic strength has dropped by 10%. It will have to speed up over the next three years, but no one is saying it can’t, nor won’t.
Secondly, is the increased energy coming from the sun. Enough energy emanating from increased sun spot activity can greatly destabilize the magnetic field: a field that is already on the ropes: borrowing from a boxing metaphor. The potential 30-50% increase in sun spot activity that’s predicted for 2012 does not bode well for planet earth.
This potential double jeopardy is more than a possibility. It’s a matter of intensity.
Finally then, what would be the result of a magnetic pole reversal since none of us have lived through one? Speculations from those who have far more insight and scientific information than I would say: tidal waves, tectonic plate shift, numerous earthquakes, major flooding, and a plethora of volcanic eruptions. Need we say more? Life as we know it would be over, gone, done with, and history!
And our poor feathered friends would be showing up in places they’d never before visited. 
Needless to say, the North pole is already moving. Many think that we can thank the December 26, 2004 earthquake and tsunami for that. the North pole has moved from Northern Canada and is heading toward Siberia. I suppose the Russians will now claim ownership to that too! Stuff that we’ve never ever before experienced is happening. Who would have thought that the 12-26-2004 earthquake would alter the shape of the earth and jar the planet into a slightly different axis of rotation.
