IngievV Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I think it is a great name For a girl yes:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Okay, just watched the interview, and I believe it. I guess as Gertrude has a passort, he can take him around the word with him, as long as he makes sure he keeps up with any appropriate shots he'll need. Sorry, I take looking after dogs very seriously:blush-anim-cl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessa Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Well... it's my name though it is the second then yeah... it's a strange great name Oh really ?:teehee:It's weird but it sounds cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macboll Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 For a girl yes:roftl: Don't forget we're talking about Mika... I remember I read that if he had a son, he would like to call him Alice. Why not! There are a few boys called Camille in France, but most of the people called Camille are girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipop Love Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 only one thing: MIKA, I love dogs ! if you want someone to take care of Gertrude's just call me, I accept travel with it on the floor of the bus, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) i will only believe it for sure when mika confirms it via tweet/blog or when any of us gets to see that dog. i mean, seriously, that story sounds too strange if you tell it - especially the name. a male dog called gertrude with a passport in his hear and an own floor on the tourbus? ok as it's mika, it could be true... but it could as well be completely made up, like that john travolta plane thing. and doesn't a dog have to stay in quarantine for ages, until you can take it from one country to another? but only a bit more than a month and we'll see... if he says the dog comes on tour with him, we'll get to see it there, if it exists. if it's true, i really hope it's the kind of dog like bizkit, he was so cute! somehow can't imagine mika having a small dog. so i guess by saying "little dog" he meant it's a puppy.

HI Mellody! (Happy New Year to you!) It's in fact a microchip in the dog's ear. The dog (or cat) 's got a passport to travel anywhere in Europe and no longer needs to stay in quarantine.

MissPie Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Yeah but Alice Cooper is also a man....I've never heard of a man named Gertrude:roftl: Didn't he choose his name after a 'witch' they burned in the middle ages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IngievV Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 and doesn't a dog have to stay in quarantine for ages, until you can take it from one country to another? No, that would be only to go to the UK and Sweden if I remember correctly. And now the rules are not as strict as they used to be:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather expensive, and lots of bureaucracy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dog (or cat) 's got a passport to travel anywhere in Europe and no longer needs to stay in quarantine. aha, didn't know that... well i know of course that pets get microchips for identification, so if they run away you can see who they belong to. but that there's an extra passport microchip, that's new to me. sounds really funny though!

It's quite funny when you think about how much it is to travel with pets... but it's not when pets' owners are told that they cannot travel because the documents are not in order or there are elements missing... I remember a Saturday night stuck with a Norvegian lorrydriver whose dog did not fit the conditions to travel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerclaws95 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 with an own floor on the tourbus? Mika has alot of toys don't he?.. But he could of got this special soft cuddly toy dog and he thought "I know, I'll give Gertrude his own floor!"... Who knows till Mika proves it!

silver Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I think it's a real dog - Mika did start off by saying he had done a really stupid thing - and getting a real dog would certainly qualify . He'll have to leave it behind when he tours North/South America, Japan, Australia etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 if it's true, i really hope it's the kind of dog like bizkit, he was so cute! somehow can't imagine mika having a small dog. so i guess by saying "little dog" he meant it's a puppy. I can imagine him having a small dog as in early 2007 there was a 5 sec video of him and a dog on myspace and all I remember is that he was giggling like an 8-year old..... if it's a dog like that, the name Gertrude is most fitting..

He did recently sell a male dog...if it's so...then this would be Gertrude: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 The name thing (giving males female names) is a music biz / camp thing. Elton John's nickname is Sharon (in turn he calls Rod Stewart by the name Phyllis). Several artists, especially bi or gay artists, have had female nicknames. So I'm kinda not surprised by a male dog called Gertrude. Didn't he call a female penguin at London zoo Humphrey?!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
