We named a basset-beagle Thorin Oakenshield, once. But after all-out war against him for a month and a half, and ruined rugs, we returned him to the pound. Stiffnecked dwarf! Ruined rugs!! We then got a lab-greyhound who was downright angelic. I wanted to name her "Angelina" but hubby said no. We compromised, and "Lena" won out.

We haven't done any middle-earth pet-names since. Thorin was NOT a good precedent...
